I heard him today for the first time on instagram. I’m now on KZbin for the last 30 minutes with tears of joy. So much passion

William Bilal SINGS his emotions through his mouthpiece....what a ride!!!!! His talent just bursts through the uniformity of the band❤❤

[@Neotenico]

600 years ago some French dudes decided to put a slide on an instrument and that paved the way for the most talented and creative musicianship the world has ever seen.

[@BrendanCalliesComposer]

Da sackbut

[@davidwest7978]

Please don't give the French credit for anything... They probably stole it from some black guy and put their name on it like they always do.

[@lastlogicallib]

Ever? That’s some strong praise. But then again, I’ve never seen someone be so precise, effortlessly in control of the sounds coming out of a horn. I’m speechless.

[@lsureppin225]

black folks started this is

[@bleeem]

@@davidwest7978 look up the creator of the trombone mf, i know black americans feel the need to think they made everything, but Africa overall was not big on metal instruments like this for a long ass time, having a big trumpet like sound is something very old in Europe, one of the oldest i can remember came from Celtic people, and i know damn well they dindt steal from any Black guy because they never even came close to seeing a black person.

[@ChaseKelleh]

Im so thankful William Bilal picked up the trombone.

[@thereviewer9652]

Couldn’t agree more

[@juhgfdsapiyhhnnxc3517]

I guess his family is musical so it was destined

[@CrystalCaine-y7o]

@ChaseKelleh my sentiments exactly. I'm speechless and spellbound.

[@rogermayers849]

Who noticed the band leader let him cook when he got in his groove and used everyone else to back him up like back up singers. Truth be told the whole band is a gem and Mr Bilal is the diamond on the top of the crown.

Something you would hear on a David Gilmour track. really good sax playing.

NO ONE ??? That sax is crazy tooooooo

[@leviisrael3752]

Cadence on point

[@missvida6251]

It doesn’t even sound like a trombone no more! He created a whole new sound. Trombophone

[@shayharris6544]

Nah he literally sung through a trombone which is crazy. He did old blues vocal runs on a trombone 😅😅. That's insanity and pure genius

[@lindreadix4205]

No that's for sure a trom-trump-aphone

[@quezzyboi14]

The director isn’t getting talked about enough…. Sax & trombone solos were deadly

45 years later, I now know why my band director said I wasn't good enough. I'll keep playing my trombone till the end, tho. Hopefully I'll channel Mr. Bilal. Dayum.

[@cjjudd1]

There's an old blues soul living in that young man

[@Vondashusband]

It’s all church

[@Ferrist1]

Jazz is alive in him.

[@briskbronco8292]

A song like that takes pain. This kid played like he felt pain in his soul. Truly amazing

[@Endgame1979]

I say this all the time. He put some serious stank on his playing. He definitely plays from his soul and that soul has been hurt before.

[@marekosolomona9390]

2:05 that sax player is on to 🔥🔥🔥

[@indiancarter8330]

You can tell that the band director has a huge smile on his face once the trombone solo chorus got started..

[@aaronellison4775]

His reaction @3:21 says it all! 😂

[@drklashay]

William is so amazing, I wondered what school he went to... remembered him from that viral video a few years back. What an awesome gift

[@demitreasantley]

Will went to Fairfield High in Winnsboro SC

[@SCladybug803]

Fairfield Central High ….. Winnsboro SC

[@thechaoseffect3569]

Benedict college as well

[@michellecarlmixoncummings4881]

Was it him or his big brother. They both play. Big bro played same song at same school years ago that's who taught him

[@MeditationMotivation365]

That bass note though....

[@harbourshark]

That low B flat sent chills down my spine!

[@mrsjrenae4738]

I never, ever knew a trombone could sound this good. I seriously underestimated this instrument.

[@adawg3032]

I played it for 12 years.. I didn’t either. This guy has beyond surpassed what I expected mastery to sound like. Didn’t even know that the rabbit hole went that deep

But will though 😂😂😂

[@diegoposada7333]

You should be! She’s a part of a group that is so well talented and that’s why she’s there

[@afernandezaf55af]

I remember a couple months back I saw that other solo and its stuck with me. Seeing this right here: that's someone who has found their calling and is utilizing their gift. It makes me happy seeing he's gained some recognition but he deserves so much more. If only musicians like him were held in the same regard as athletes.

[@firehihi1]

Or pop/rap artist .. I would love to see one of these Grammy winners do that

[@j.parrish385]

I'd loved William Bilal or his brother Hank get a DAMN Grammy just because. They have certainly Mastered their instruments that's one thing I know. They should be hired as clinicians for sure.

[@juhgfdsapiyhhnnxc3517]

It would make more kids do it as well

[@petemathews6237]

I was thinking the same thing while watching the video! This gave me chills

[@flashfive12]

It’s insane just how much power he can produce. Not only that but the range of highs to low is so impressive. Such a gifted brother and you can tell how much he and his family have worked on their craft. Can’t wait to see the next generation of Bilal’s put their own flavor into playing!

[@KXNG_BXNZ]

Bro with that silky smooth sax solo deserves some love too lol

[@jaywatson8720]

They’ve been known for a while for having good trombone sections and soloists.
