Jordan Rudess performs a blistering sax solo on the Seaboard GRAND at NAMM 2015

Jordan Rudess and Marco Parisi getting their groove on at our NAMM 2015 booth.

As a saxophonist of 36 years, the only fairly convincing (to the less-trained ear) keyboard rendition of a saxophone yet — thanks to the expressive possibilities of the Seaboard (and Jordan's excellent chops). I only hope that music education and listener's thirst for the subtleties of human expression continue to want more from a woodwind performance.

You can tell he comes from a pianist background. Technique and chord progression. Cant wait to see where this all goes

[markovcornelius]

Don't forget the guy who played the bass line though, Marco Parisi also did it really awesome :D

[ghaibboy]

The man with white beard is Genius i think 👀

[markr]

What plugin is the seaboard driving for the sax and bass sounds?

[PeteKowalsky]

Is the tone generation coming from the Seaboard, or a virtual instrument like Trillian, or is it all Roli, or what? Cool man!

[Carlos-qzul]

I like Jordan Rudess, but I call this a stunt with no relationship whatsoever with music and even less with 🎷. Ask Chris Potter what he thinks about this, better than me ! I would never buy this kind of "keyboard", and I play piano and sax, by the way...

[krishnansrinivasan]

Cool :) Can't imagine how good it will be to play Indian Carnatic Music in it :)

[VeronicaMcCarrison]

It's amazing.... It's a Mutant... It is crossed between a surfboard and a synthesiser.. I mean you can create music and then You can go surfing... Lol just joking

[JukeboxOddities]

1:02 he worked the slight malfunction of the high note into his solo ^^ Nice.

[firubbi]

"slide" is still not sounding real... maybe someday :)

[randomdude]

That's cool but what he is playing doesn't sound like good sax music. Coming from one

[matrock]

i hope he bumped into Cory Henry this year!!

[bcus]

IMHO Jordan is a great keyboard player but he doesn't have vibrato. Marco in the back is much better with this instrument because he knows how to bend it

[dan]

I find it far from blistering whatever is he playing there...
