That's a great solo. I'm always amazed how horn players can do the mouth/cheek breath thing with no wavering of tone and volume. Thanks Dave.

A book I have says that Johnny Hodges (the sax player sitting down in the middle of the video) "usually managed to look utterly bored". That is a pretty fair description, I would say. LOL
