By 16, he made the successful choice to switch to the baritone saxophone and was then involved in the Lucky Thompson’s band in 1947. His music has been described as being “very long, tumbling, double-time melodic lines. And that raw, piercing, bark-like timbre”. He had an amazing ability to play the difficult baritone at very fast paces of hard bop music like no other player had before. Some of his most famous songs include; Binary, Alone Together, and Now in Our lives.
From its composition in the early history of the United States until now, The Star Spangled Banner has carried on a long tradition as America’s national anthem, depicting the patriotism and pride of its people. Since then, various artists have performed their own renditions of the original tune; modifications include rearranging melodic lines, adding harmonies, and changing texture or timbre, sometimes eliminating human voices altogether in favor of instrumentals, just to name a few.

Again, what similarities would affect your choice?
I thought they were most similar to a jazz band, but they did things that a lot of different styles don’t do in America. For instance, they had a Steel drum song, a tabla, and the Tuvan throat singer. The most peculiar instrument, I thought, was the drumitar made by future man. At first, I didn’t know what it was; it looked too big to be a keyboard. Adding it all together, it felt like each sound worked together to get this awesome combination of sounds.
I like Bobby Pulido’s rhythm and beats since the combinations of the instruments was magnificent giving a unique sound to each of his melodies. I also liked that he not only focused on writing romantic songs, but also cumbias tejenas that makes everybody dance and
