The real question is did he pick his outfit based on his hair or coloured his hair based on his outfit?

[kyleedinger]

Leo looks like he tricked someone into letting him on stage every time he performs

[porcupethcrumpets]

this man has dedicated his life to four things:
1. leg workouts
2. cardio
3. the sax
4. impeccable style and goofiness

"ominous honking" pretty much sums up anything I could produce on a sax.

[septicaema]

"honk with pelvic thrust" "Splat" "ominous honking" and "multiphonic" are my favorite sounds now. "Return to frog" and "knee shimmy" are now my favorite dances.

There is absolutely nothing quite like the sound of a perfectly played baritone sax. It's just so MEAN, I love it. Don't get me wrong, other saxophones are great too, but the baritone just has the "OOMPH" quality that is such a vibe. Love it.

[OrbiliusMagister]

This solo is so crazy that now it has three transcriptions on Youtube.

[matthewtown]

As someone who has played the baritone sax, the lungs on this man must be the size of a whale's.

0:46 - 0:54 is so good. I love the splat and dirty playing and the muffled trumpets in the backround just make that part sound so funky and i love it

[TheRealPurpleHand]

The dancing was what got me. Bari saxes are NOT light and this dude is getting consistent sound all while doing his best Elvis. That's freaking impressive.

[maddiegeier]

Every clip I see of Leo P just makes me think he's been set loose on the stage

[Whiteythereaper]

Man, everytime I come back to this video I'm reminded how fucking tight the drummer is. That synced up soloing is such a groove, he's an absolute master in producing a beat and the kit is tuned beautifully and mixed so incredibly well, all of the band is. Live perfomance mixes have come such a long way in the last decade and it's excellent to see. If I ever get back into sound engineering & running a desk in studio or concert, I hope I can keep up the new bar of incredibly tight and balanced mixes & masters that engineers have been pumping out over the last 6 or 7 years as the old guard have finally stepped down and appointed talented fresh blood that have a better grasp on the technology & access to better gear & environments.

Man, I hope that sax is at least 18...

[mr.nihilist]

this notation style needs to become canon

[BeHappyGod]

2:43 the sax’s in the background are just perfect. It gives off a major jazz feeling. This would be a song that would be played in a spy movie

[Lmjacks]

obscene honkage aside, i think my favorite part of this is how seamlessly he slots back into the band. he cranked the showmanship up to 130, had his fun, and then reigned it back in right when it was appropriate. awesome performance

[ollysombrero]

EDM, punk, rock, psychedelics and anarchy got together and somehow decided to play high quality jazz.

[letsplayarougelite]

Ya know, you can take the performer out of the street but not the street out of the performer and Leo is a PERFECT example of that. He just has fun while playing no matter who or what is around and despite that this is still an AMAZING bari solo.

[spifflord]

Funny, when you posted the cleanest trumpet solo and I could start to hear this guy play at the end my first thought was, I hope there’s a dirtiest sax solo coming haha

[navidfarkhondehpay]

The fucking splat at 1:42 is the single greatest thing I have ever heard, this man is a GENIUS.
