There are thousands of sax players who can circular breathe. It’s just a technique, nothing special or difficult.
I cant think of many who use it in a musical way.
So, Ive never found a stream of notes, with no breaks,to be musical. And although I do like to I hear a note held for effect, I do like something musical to be happening to it.
ie louder /quieter, change of tone quality etc etc.
Who I wants to hear the same note held for 2 minutes, or 5 , or whatever?
I suppose if you choose a note carefully, it would free up the right hand, allowing you to wave to your fans, or get your hair brush out and attend to your perm, all the while delivering this musical masterpiece, which is absorbing you
I always think of it as en ego /“look at me” thing.
So, not for me.
Or maybe do something else with his right hand, which may explain some of the epithets thrown his way?
