Bass Saxophones were the first saxophone ever created. They are typically seen in String Bands composed of Woodwinds and Strings, Saxophone Ensembles and in rare cases Wind Ensembles/Concert Bands. Bass sax players are the more brutal, masculine and stronger saxophone player, being the only ones to be able to lug the monstrosity around. The powder puffs use saxophone stands, the mediocre use harnesses, but the true Manly Men use Neck Straps. There is always a need for Bass Saxophone in any band or orchestra setting. Typically used to replace the Bass Clarinet Player. Bass Sax Players are always known for their massive penis and sexual prowess.

Get the Bass Sax Player mug.Relatively crude all-encompassing term for a group of bands who are musically quite disparate. Current jam band successes include such unique groups as Phish (closer to being straight rock than anything), String Cheese Incident (electric-grass or "acid grass"), Yonder Mountain String Band (more traditional bluegrass), Umphrey's McGee (prog-rock and jazz influences), Widespread Panic (Southern-ish rock), Blues Traveler (blues and power rock), Medeski Martin and Wood (jazz), etc. The originators of the phenomenon were the Grateful Dead, and Dead successors such as the Other Ones, Ratdog, and Phil Lesh & Friends carry the mantle of the Dead legacy today. The term "jam band" is of course rooted in the fact that all of these bands "jam," or improvise for long periods of time during their shows. Other characteristics of "jam band" status include dedicated traveling fan bases, close rapport with such fans, long sets at shows, etc.
