Dave Pollack Tackles the BetterSax intro – Smooth Jazz Style
- By Jay Metcalf
- General Saxophone Topics
You all heard the BetterSax intro plenty of times, and while I think it’s perfect as is – saxophonist Dave Pollack has other ideas. Check out his rendition of the BetterSax intro – smooth jazz style. To quote him “it’s being played on the wrong instrument and there are wrong notes in it. In this video I (along with the Chosen One) show how it’s SUPPOSED to be played.”
What do you think? Do we like the smooth jazz version? Let me know in the comments below.

IT’s GREAT..but a little bit long for your intro.
We would never get to learn anything
Nice…that was pretty and smoooth Dave Pollack 🙂 Kenny would be pleased I’m sure. I liked it but Jay…obviously too long to replace your intro which is still memorable and suitably snappy!
Very beautiful but doesn’t work as a jingle… sorry
This was so much fun to hear and watch. I tried to score it on the Smooth Jazz Network but couldn’t find the title. I’m sure it could be in the top 20 in no time if we can name it.
Smooth Jazz is all about vibe and enjoyment. If you have to sit through 6 minutes of intro before the video starts, you gotta do what you gotta do…
