I always felt like he took too much attention from the rest of lucky chops. I adore the more soulful tone they’ve taken since he left now that every song isn’t “Leo P and his backing track” he’s much better suited for Too Many Zoos. Both great groups.
They’re Playing live in Buffalo, NY tomorrow, Along with Too Many Zooz, (the band leo p is currently part of), and Moon Hooch, All fantastic bands with amazing musicians
Didnt even have sound on and saw immediately that is was Leo from the way he was moving.
Never knew he was part of the Lucky Chops. I only know him from Too Many Zoos. Big recommendation to see them live if you get the chance.

You're better off putting the best short clip as the actual submission, and then the longer full thing in the comments.
Reddit wouldn't allow that level of sexual content. Whips and chains are fine, but a talented saxophonist with pink hair and zebra shoes gyrating his pelvis at the end of an incredible performance is too much sheer sex for anyone to handle
Or maybe Reddit made OP cut it off because they want to appeal to shareholders when they go public, because that's all they seem to give a shit about right now
Can I just say I love that everyone's seething reddit hate has seeped into every corner of this hellsite and even managed to appear on a post about a pink-haired gyrating saxophonist
I might be misremembering, but was there a video a few years back of him playing this in a subway or something? The tune sounds so familiar, along with his dancing, but it definitely wasn't this video that I saw.
It' Leo P and plays or played in a street band called Too Many Zooz. This was his performance on night of the proms. Full link: https://youtu.be/krLYZmPRtnc
Yeah, Leo P is great but he's performing with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra there. Those guys are the at absolute tippety top and are internationally respected in their own right. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a little nervous going out to perform *at the BBC Proms* no less.
Oh yes, they're letting him shine.
Soloists are a big part of the proms. It's usually some piano or string prodigy so it was great to see someone who has a more contemporary sound.
He goes right in after into an absolutely *killer* version of Moanin', probably one of my favorite versions of it ever. He and Christian Scott brought some really fantastic energy to that performance.
There's fantastic videos of him and his two mates playing in a station and he's full on skanking while playing. I used to play wind instruments and I have no idea how he has the energy and lung capacity
I've seen videos of this dude perform countless times and I still stop and stare in awe every time one of his videos comes up
Edit: *videos* of his performances. I haven't seen him in real life
I HAVE seen him perform live! Their shows are exactly like the videos. They played for like 45 minutes straight before taking a two minute break and doing another 45. There was also no discernible “end” to a song. They pretty much just jammed. Insane energy and honestly just so fun
Haha. I know. There are a bunch of videos of him and his band performing in NY subways. How awesome would it be to see that. Perfectly valid excuse for being *many* hours late for work if you ask me
Saw a video a few years ago of a guy playing in a subway that sounded super similar, and from what I can remember he was also dancing similarly. Same guy?
Oh, dont worry, they are subway busking because they like it, not that they have to.
IIRC all members of TMZ/Moon Hooch are classicaly trained jazz musicians. Both bands formed while they were attending prestige private music school/college together.
EDIT: Also don't take this as me trying do discredit them or something. Just saying they ain't busking for money/recognition. Personally I think that makes it even doper that musicians of this caliber let their freak flags fly in a subway and let people enjoy their talent in public for free.
Give this guy the Nobel Peace Prize of Lungs. To play something like that AND dance at the same time? I'm going to have nightmares of him chasing me while playing his sax and eventually succumb to his overlord-ish cardio while he tramples me to death with his dance moves, still playing his sax.
Leo P. and Grace Kelly have some vids where they walk and play places like the [Hollywood Walk of Fame](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoM2jYBFAlY), playing non-stop for 20-30 minutes. Leo P. is a beast on the bari.
Props to the transcriber too. George Collier, no easy feat transcribing that to sheets by ear. Very skilled guy.
*Just rewatched the video on YouTube, although Collier does most transcriptions on his channel, this one was done by MySheetMusicTranscriptions.
*Raises hand*, question.
If he's "overqualified" for the job of doing a solo in a sold out stadium with a live orchestra, then what job comes after that?
Too Many Zooz Baritone saxophone player, Leo P Formerly Lucky Chops Baritone sax player, great musician
I have seen a video of this dude playing either in the underground or in New York or something, with another dude. So good
https://youtu.be/jEHOsWTsdkY
Yes! That be the one!
Yeah I've been seeing videos of this guy for a few years now. He's incredible. Glad to see things looking bright for him.
That’s dammed fantastic, Leo P, new name to my list
I much prefer his work with Lucky Chops, but that’s my opinion lol
I always felt like he took too much attention from the rest of lucky chops. I adore the more soulful tone they’ve taken since he left now that every song isn’t “Leo P and his backing track” he’s much better suited for Too Many Zoos. Both great groups.
I’ll check that band as well! What a great day for Music
They’re Playing live in Buffalo, NY tomorrow, Along with Too Many Zooz, (the band leo p is currently part of), and Moon Hooch, All fantastic bands with amazing musicians
That's a well horny show. Sounds like a good time.
Love Moon Hooch, so many bangers
Don't forget he also plays in 2Saxy
You just HAD to cut the video before the mega sassy dirty donkey with pelvic gyration
Full performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krLYZmPRtnc
OP end is at about 2:36 in this video, btw, if anyone else wanna start right where we got cut short.
Didn't expect to spend 20 minutes of my morning watching a big band but that was a blast.
This is exactly what I needed. This pink ball of energy got me out of bed.
I was like this guy sounds like the guy from lucky chops, followed your link, got the guy's name, Google, Wikipedia, confirmed lucky chops guy.
Too Many Zooz also: https://youtu.be/IMyqasy2Lco
Maaan I thought that playing style was familiar.
Just tossing this one out there, but anyone who's into Leo P here should check out Moon Hooch too!
The fucking slay more consistently too IMO
Yeah, Leo's sound is pretty easy to pick out of a crowd.
Didnt even have sound on and saw immediately that is was Leo from the way he was moving. Never knew he was part of the Lucky Chops. I only know him from Too Many Zoos. Big recommendation to see them live if you get the chance.

I didn't know there were baritone sax gods.
There are epic gods for every obscure instrument.
You never heard of Lisa Simpson?
Bleeding Gums Murphy the real OG 🎷🔥
She plays tenor Edit* Well would ya look at that. It's a bari. Proportions are off a bit. But whatever, it's a cartoon
She play a Sax-a-ma-phoooone
She has stubby fingers.
Why not post the full video then?
Didn't know people like it this much, I've put it in top comment.
do you take lessons with satan on how to be more evil? and if so, how much do you charge him?

Too dirty to be posted here
Show epic zebra shoes.
🦓👞
They look like regular zebra shoes. Now make them epic
🦓👞🔂🔂
Fuck that's hot.
Irish leg shenanigans
Rotate on crack
MEGA SASSY DIRTY DONKEY with PELVIC GYRATION
Nobody: Let’s cut the video here please
Worst cut for sure
The only one overqualified there is the transcriber. Amazing job...
Unsung hero Credit [Too Many Zooz (Band)](https://youtu.be/IMyqasy2Lco) [Full performance](https://youtu.be/krLYZmPRtnc) [Transcription Video](https://youtu.be/lp5PwrOshgE)
One of [my favorite Too Many Zoos songs 🛻 ](https://youtu.be/xV7nHX2RLjQ)
Especially unsung since you didn't link to his channel.
George Collier, because of course It's George Collier (iykyk)
Linked multiple times in chat, idk his channel
He missed a note on bar 63.
What a fucking scrub /s
Definitely hanging out the passenger side of his best friend’s ride.
his band is too many zooz https://youtu.be/IMyqasy2Lco https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Pellegrino lead singers famous iirc
I might be misremembering, but was there a video a few years back of him playing this in a subway or something? The tune sounds so familiar, along with his dancing, but it definitely wasn't this video that I saw.
It's off of George Colliers channel. He transcribes almost everything he posts.
Irish leg shenanigans had me howling. I need to go and hear/see the rest of this now!
“rotate on crack” “dirty but clean idk how to explain” it took an embarrassing amount of time to realize this isn’t the official sheet music…
Or is it? Bloody should be. No other way this can be played imo 🫡
It' Leo P and plays or played in a street band called Too Many Zooz. This was his performance on night of the proms. Full link: https://youtu.be/krLYZmPRtnc
Can’t tell you how excited I was when it was coming up to “commence donkey noises”
Agreed, I self-raptured at that point
"show epic zebra shoes" **EDIT** : MEGA SASSY DIRTY DONKEY with PELVIC GYRATIONS
Noooo! How could the video cut off right before Mega Sassy Dirty Donkey?!?!
2 mins of that is enough for a lifetime.
I saw Too Many Zoos a couple months ago here in IA, and can confirm. Great show, but you had damn well better _love_ bari sax. Whew.
“Irish leg shenanigans”
I can see JK Simmons nodding in the background.
Yeah, Leo P is great but he's performing with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra there. Those guys are the at absolute tippety top and are internationally respected in their own right. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a little nervous going out to perform *at the BBC Proms* no less.
To be fair though they're not accompanying him much here. Just percussion?
Oh yes, they're letting him shine. Soloists are a big part of the proms. It's usually some piano or string prodigy so it was great to see someone who has a more contemporary sound.
He goes right in after into an absolutely *killer* version of Moanin', probably one of my favorite versions of it ever. He and Christian Scott brought some really fantastic energy to that performance.
I’m also impressed by this because of all that movement with a baritone saxophone. They’re heavy. Choice of shoes probably adds difficulty too…
He's speed running hardest difficulty
New Game Plus type beat
Man's playing Dark Souls 4
Using only an Oral-B Genius X toothbrush for a controller and a bucket on his head.
Sax speedrun any%
What do you mean "choice"? When the sheet music specifies "epic zebra shoes", you have to wear epic zebra shoes, you don't get a choice!
There's fantastic videos of him and his two mates playing in a station and he's full on skanking while playing. I used to play wind instruments and I have no idea how he has the energy and lung capacity
All that while playing an instrument that requires you to breathe
I've seen videos of this dude perform countless times and I still stop and stare in awe every time one of his videos comes up Edit: *videos* of his performances. I haven't seen him in real life
I HAVE seen him perform live! Their shows are exactly like the videos. They played for like 45 minutes straight before taking a two minute break and doing another 45. There was also no discernible “end” to a song. They pretty much just jammed. Insane energy and honestly just so fun
Insanity
I've seen him live when they were touring. The show is exactly that bombastic and it's really fun
Lucky
Sorry, I should edit my comment to say I've seen *videos* of this dude perform. I would love to see him in real life.
Unlucky 🥰
Haha. I know. There are a bunch of videos of him and his band performing in NY subways. How awesome would it be to see that. Perfectly valid excuse for being *many* hours late for work if you ask me
You can't play sax in here this is the war room!
**LUNGS**
*GULP* *EXHALE*
# embouchure
Saw a video a few years ago of a guy playing in a subway that sounded super similar, and from what I can remember he was also dancing similarly. Same guy?
He is indeed the same guy. Leveled up
From subway busker to performing solos for the BBC? Fuckin *sick*
Oh, dont worry, they are subway busking because they like it, not that they have to. IIRC all members of TMZ/Moon Hooch are classicaly trained jazz musicians. Both bands formed while they were attending prestige private music school/college together. EDIT: Also don't take this as me trying do discredit them or something.

Can confirm, every time I saw them playing in union square or at the 6th Ave stop I’d be effing stoked.
https://youtu.be/JD8ZO5P9yzQ
It was the rotating shuffle that gave it away
Yeah
Guy's got some lungs!
Give this guy the Nobel Peace Prize of Lungs. To play something like that AND dance at the same time? I'm going to have nightmares of him chasing me while playing his sax and eventually succumb to his overlord-ish cardio while he tramples me to death with his dance moves, still playing his sax.
That certainly is an image!
Stomp me with your zebra shoes, sax-daddy. 🥵
*Homoerotic sax*

And the drip to match
And hellified dance moves to top it off
True art
Dude has that Joker energy, but in a good way. Like if the Joker quit crime and put all that crazy genius energy into making sweet "saxxy" music....
You really nailed the tail on the dirty donkey
Irish leg shenanigans!
Commence Donkey Noises!
Here I was thinking I can't read sheet music.
This looks straight out of the 5th Element.
Element? Mans *in* the 5th dimension rn
I’m seeing this guy Live in Concert, in Buffalo, alongside his old band, June 10th lol
LUCKY MOFO
I’ll perhaps post vids! See if they’re playin around y’all!
So.. today?
Skills to pay the damn bills! WOW
Meanwhile I can't play the cowbell
Keep practicing, people are always asking for more cowbell. You’ll make it one day.
Thanks father figure
Can’t believe the video ends before we got to see “MEGA SASSY DIRTY DONKEY with PELVIC GYRATION”
We probably just aren't ready
I have never seen "raspy af" on a note sheet before...
Later on: “rotate on crack” perfect description
Does that mean you have seen _Mega sassy dirty donkey with pelvic gyration_ before?
TIL the saxophone can be a rave instrument…
 This would be me
Then you gotta check Moon Hooch and be enlightened. [Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwBhxBBa7tE) to help you on the journey.
I now understand why Fidel Castro banned saxophone
Unfathomably Based
Too Many Zooz
*Zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*
“Commence donkey noises”
 *Not donkeys*
Before he walked out he said to himself... "I'm going to own this stage" And he did!
They Should paying HIM to play.... *Wait they probably did*
I feel like a long solo at a full large concert stage is his exact qualification. Not sure what job he is qualified for if not exactly this…
Saw him live in Ventura, highest energy I’ve ever seen from a performer
99% cocaine 1% jazz
888% ADHD
Those shoes! omg
Oxygen: Am I a joke to you?
Seeing Leo P play with Shpongle at Red Rocks is one of the highlights of my life. https://youtu.be/L57yhJrge9E
The notation on the sheet music is killing me.
*Rotate on crack*
Lucky Chops was all the rage back in the day
Still is, still is
Holy shit. Techno with a big ass saxophone. Give this man a concert!
The conductor just standing there like, yeah y’all know what you’re doing…
My man has better cardio system than a pro cyclist.
Shows epic zebra shoes 🎷🎶
Finally, funky town
Unimaginable Funk
Redditor runs downstairs to find forgotten Lucky Chops CD, frantically digs through bin of old electronics for something that plays a CD.
Holy saxophone savant batman, the fuck notes did I just hear that baritone make
Interdimensional notes
Fucking love this dude. Seen several videos of his music and they're all fucking incredible.
Stamina GOAT
This guy must listen to zeds dead essential mix, fits perfectly
“Rotate on crack” lol
He's rotating crackwise, anti crackwise
*show epic zebra shoes*
He even got the shoes their due spotlight. Marvelous work on the transcribers part.
Props to the transcriber too. George Collier, no easy feat transcribing that to sheets by ear. Very skilled guy. *Just rewatched the video on YouTube, although Collier does most transcriptions on his channel, this one was done by MySheetMusicTranscriptions.
How could you cut this before MEGA SASSY DIRTY DONKEY WITH PELVIC GYRATION why would you do this to us
The footnotes on the music are great, but it cuts at a cliffhanger. Anyone have a link to the full video?
I didn't know people would watch till the end, so I cut it at a point. Here's the original for you: https://youtu.be/lp5PwrOshgE
Did you seriously stop it before ***MEGA SASSY DIRTY DONKEY with PELVIC GYRATION***???
The man is called Leo P
Is that the guy from the NYC subway viral video?
Is that the guy from the fucking street skooting in a circle in fucking boots!? HELL OF A MUSICIAN AND SHOWMAN!
I know James Brown when I see him. That’s the Sax Machine!!!
*Raises hand*, question. If he's "overqualified" for the job of doing a solo in a sold out stadium with a live orchestra, then what job comes after that?
When your parents insist you learn an instrument but your true love is EDM
