TENOR MODEL

Christlieb played the sax solos on Steely Dan‘s hit song “Deacon Blues” from the album Aja; Natalie Cole‘s Grammy award-winning album Unforgettable; and the extended tenor sax solo on the song “FM (No Static at All)” from the movie of the same name.

“For a guy who has played on the same mouthpiece for 54 years, my new Aaron Drake recreation is incredibly accurate. The .120” is my favorite.”
