Top Comments of this video!! :3
I wonder if Leo P as well as Lucky Chops as a whole understand the profound impact they have made on American music. This is all my personal observation, but has anyone else noticed the massive resurgence of brass band ensembles in music of all genres? ESPECIALLY the current West coast Americana/R&B/Blues/Soul band sound that has been going on for the past 10 or so years now. I honestly believe that Leo P and bands like Lucky Chops have created a fresh desire in bands across the country to incorporate that soul filled brass band sound. I currently serve in a U.S. Army band, and have witnessed Army bands across the nation incorporate brass band ensembles that are tasked with playing music directly inspired by Lucky Chops, No BS Brass band, Youngblood Brass band, the list can go on. Isn't that crazy? Leo P's funky brass band moves in a subway has inspired an entire generation of Army musicians to play their music because it helps us accomplish our mission of establishing a fun, meaningful connection with civilians and other service members. I just think that's wild.
Disclaimer: my views do not reflect that of the U.S. Army. This is just my personal observation/opinion.

I remember when that video came out and I was in 9th grade, I thought that was the absolute coolest thing ever and all the sax players at school were showing it to each other and were showing others, it made me so happy to be a sax player and I can’t really explain it, but I just get proud in some way

As a non-sax player (guitar here!) that stumbled through here as a Leo P fan off the recommended page, the point about how he works the audience was super important to thinking about my musicianship and it got me thinking: that's PURE busking talent right there. Conservatory education doesn't teach you how to work a crowd, but busking will teach you.... or else.
Your audience in the subway is by no means captive like they might be at a stage performance, you have to leverage all your charisma and crowd pleasing chops (chromatic scales included) to get people to stick around on their way home from work or wherever and maybe get $5 out of their wallet.

Zooz fan here, and got this video in my suggested feed. I hadn't really seen many interviews with Leo, but I gotta say, I love how open he is with explaining it all, and how approachable he is about it. :D It's always great when you find out that people you admire turn out to be honestly good people. :D
