Which songs are 'Roi?

I can't seem to find the info on this. Which songs on Big Whiskey (including the bonus disk) are 'Roi and which are Jeff?

    According to Dave, Roi plays on all tracks except Squirm...RaShawn, of course, accompanies him

    That is the one song that is most definitely Roi. Dave said in an interview, "When we recorded it, it was almost like a duet between me and Roi"

    I guess it's just the soprano sax that makes me think it is Jeff, I'm used to him playing soprano more often.

    I was under the impression that all horns on Big Whiskey were Roi with the exception of Squirm since that was written after Roi passed.

    I think Roi is on all the songs in some form or another with the exception of Squirm. Watching some of the studio stuff you see Jeff recording parts for Why I Am and Shake Me so he's obviously on those.

    Well in the behind the scenes videos, there's a segment of Jeff and Rashawn doing the horn parts for SMLAM.

    I'm really glad to know that roi had his hand in lying in the hands of god. makes it much more special for me - I'm sure it would have been a favorite for him. do you think one sweet world is one of roi's favorites and why they don't play it that much anymore?

    Re: Which songs are 'Roi?

    It is generally accepted that LITHOG and Why I Am were the first songs completed musically, which means Roi is predominantly featured on them. We also know that Roi was a part of the intro to Time Bomb ("It needs that pace!"). Most (if not all) of Seven is Roi. We saw that on the DVD that was included with BW. We also know that Squirm was done completely without Roi. I'd assume that Beach Ball was just Jeff because it features lines that are more in Jeff's style than in Roi's.

    In the end, both Roi and Jeff are all over BW so we will probably never know who is doing which part.

    Re: Which songs are 'Roi?

    ^ I think that was the point and I don't know if they will ever reveal who is doing what. I got the impression they asked Jeff if he would mind helping out and filling in for Roi where Roi no longer could with the understanding he was going to be a "ghost sax" for almost the whole album. I kinda like it better not knowing who is doing what, I would take a guess that most of the sax parts were laid down by Roi (minus Squirm) and then if something didn't sound right and no cut they already had did then Jeff would step in and help it along. The album to me is Roi's last work, it just had to have a helping hand from Jeff, kinda like authors get when the pass away before completing their last work.

    I don't mind not knowing - I was just thinking that one of roi's favorites had to have been say goodbye. I just listened to the warehouse compilation - incredible. miss him!

    I thought that it was nothing but 'Roi (and Rashawn) on the album. Hence the absence of horns on Spaceman.

    They are both probobly on every track. I'm sure Jeff smoothed over the spots that needed to be touched up. LITHOG is definitely roi though, there is a distinct difference between Jeff and Roi's playing styles with this instrument.

    Squirm is the only song that was written with Jeff. I'm pretty sure Roi was a part of all the other songs that had horn parts.

    Why I am, Seven, Time Bomb, and LITHOG are all most likely Roi playing, and I think he probably wrote all of the other lines (except Squirm, obviously) for the sax, even if they weren't played by him in the final cut

    I remember hearing -- somewhere -- Dave talking about SMLAM. He told Roi he wanted a "big" and "sexy" horns section, iirc.

    So whoever plays, it was at least written by LeRoi.

    From this thread, what I know and from the Scenes From Big Whiskey disc:

    Grux - Roi
    SMLAM - Definitely Jeff, probably Roi
    FTWII - No horns
    LITHOG - More than likely Roi, possibly some Jeff
    Why I Am - Definitely Roi in some parts
    Dive In - ?
    Spaceman - ?
    Squirm - Definitely Jeff only
    A'Pie - ?
    Seven - Definitely Roi, probably Jeff
    Time Bomb - Definitely Roi, probably some Jeff
    Bably Blue - No horns
    You & Me - ?
    #35 - Definitely Roi

    Yeah I think all horns were at least written by Roi except Squirm obviously. Jeff may have put the finishing touches on a couple of the horn parts. I'm sure he did finishing touches on SMLAM and I think Seven as well. It's definitely Roi on LITHOG. As well as Grux and #35 obviously. Not sure about the other songs.

    Dave said that every single time you hear the saxophone on it's own, besides Squirm, it's Roi playing. So other than some horn work on Shake Me, his playing on Squirm, and Seven, everything is all Roi (and I'm pretty sure Roi appears on Shake Me and Seven).
