Sounds great. Nice tone!

I like this director. Nope, not gonna slow this down.

Very nice piece! John Dilkey was my junior high school band director (1972 - 73) and was my high school jazz ensemble director (1973 - 77) , as well (in Mooresville, IN). He wrote alot of original material for the jazz ensemble in which he and I played duets (he on trombone and me on tenor sax/flute) in some of the bop pieces. He taught me everything about music theory and jazz arranging. He passed away in 2010 and is missed so much.

Im doing this song for my solo Saturday and I’m having trouble with vibrato . This guy makes it sound so easy . He did a great job

The trombone is the most beautiful instrument in the world. Closest thing to a sweet beautiful voice

Uff, trumpets couldn't get the minor and major thirds above high C. Not that I ever could..

Great!

Second part begins after 2:36, just a reference for anyone watching this (myself included)

wow. this is awesome. i'm doing this for my Music Workshop performance at Keene State in April. this is great to play along with!

Any suggestions on program notes for this piece? Featuring it on a recital and can't find much on it.

I can't believe there aren't any comments on this! I am working on this piece for an upcoming (clarinet) audition. I'm not a huge fan of the saxophone, but your tone is incredible! Nice job!

I just heard the 380th Army Band play this tonight! Great piece! Rest in piece, Mr. Mantooth!

Use to be the bass trombone in my old high school jazz band and i loved this song.

This is some of the most expressive playing I have ever heard this sounds like the performance from Dr. Hemke last summer

great job

great job

and the suite I. (Vif)? It's the most difficult but with this the play improve a lot...

totally agree Joshua Han, its supposed to dance, not rush!

Nice keep it up

Oliver Nelson did the arranging on this one.

Nice work. The band sounds great. Who did the arrangement for the chart? I have a Mark Taylor version but like the one you did better. thanks

they didnt do the drop but the trumpet did well and there wasnt a solo and the piano saxes did well too :)

the lead trumpet player here sounds better than most other Hs lead players I've seen on youtube but still needs some work!

sweet interpretation man.

too fast it's a songo not a mambo!

Nice altsaxsolo...

John Bonham!

great sax solo great singer

FANTASTIC! CONGRATS TO THESE YOUNG PEOPLE.

is the song really that short?!

stank nasty

Hell yeah matt. I loved this song when we played it in highschool! except the part when your a lot better!

too fast

wow that has to be one of the worst guitar solos ive ever heard

VERY nice bari.

Swing it, Chris! Swing it!!

The opening section reminds me of Carla Bley and/or Zappa's work with such ensembles. Great stuff.

Plus the mighty Chris Whited on drums!

Amazing drums I want to get there some day :)

congatulations ^^

nice tenor sax solo :D

Lead trumpet needs to learn to use his air instead of lips for those high notes. Watch Dave Stahl when he played this when he was with Buddy. He uses a lot of diaphragm when he aimed high. You can see it. It just needs that double high C# at the end too...

nate + silver trumpet = awesome!

Nate is a beast

i cant even begin to think of words to describe the suckage in this video.
