    Pete Christlieb: From Deacon Blues to the Next Gig

    Episode 19:  Pete Christlieb is a legendary saxophonist whose powerful sound and fearless improvisation continue to shape both jazz and commercial music. He rose to international prominence as a longtime featured soloist with the Doc Severinsen–led Tonight Show Band, where his commanding tenor voice and electrifying presence became instantly recognizable. Christlieb’s recording legacy includes some of the most iconic saxophone moments in popular music, including his lyrical solo on “Deacon Blues” by Steely Dan and his elegant playing on “Unforgettable” by Natalie Cole. Equally respected in the jazz world for his collaborations with Warne Marsh and Chet Baker, Christlieb continues to perform and inspire, embodying a rare blend of virtuosity, soul, and authenticity that resonates across generations. ►about Pete Christlieb: https://petechristlieb.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com ►Key Moments: 0:00 - Introductions 1:47: Drag racing, Valley College (Los Angeles), First road gig with Si Zentner 6:00: The art of playing dance music 9:01: Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Ray Brown… 16:50: Las Vegas, Jerry Gray, Tex Beneke, Peggy Lee, Lou Levy 26:00: Cannonball Adderley 30:30: Louie Bellson, Woody Herman 31:50: Tom Scott, Glenn Campbell Show, and Marty Paich… 34:24: “Play horn, get check” 41:20: Snooky Young, The Tonight Show…, and Steely Dan 44:45: “Deacon’s Blues” 51:13: Warne Marsh collaboration 1:00: Violin to saxophone… 1:05:35: Saxophone sounds…Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt… 1:13:35: The pinnacle is the next gig, payola, and back to the Warne Marsh collaboration, back to Johnny Carson and The Tonight Show… 1:26:00 New chapter of life in Washington 1:28:00 Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Michael Brecker, and woodwind doubling… 1:37:00 Closing graitude ►Follow John Daversa Online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johndaversa/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JohnDaversaMusic/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/johndaversamusic Website: http://www.johndaversa.com   ►Credits Host and Producer: John Daversa Video Capture: Yang Yang Audio Capture: Yang Yang Video and Audio Editing: Izzi Guzman Graphic Design: Izzi Guzman Recorded in Coral Gables, FL, November 18, 2024 Support the show ►Credits Host and Producer: John Daversa Video: Max Nierlich  Audio: Dudley Merriam Additional Audio: Jake Sonderman Video and Audio Editing: Yang Yang Izzi Guzman: Graphic Design Recorded in Miami, FL ►Music "The John Daversa Podcast" "Moonlight Muse" "Junk Wagon" All compositions composed and arranged by John Daversa Daversafications Publications (ASCAP)
