Over a school break, I went home transposed the Alto part to tenor and memorized the entire thing. Then we came back and our director said that we weren't playing it

I once tried to play the tenor solo in a concert, but I had to simpllify it. Still hit that altissimo tough !

[@PsychoticAnchovies]

I remember getting drafted into jazz band my senior year of high school because the trombone player outed me as a bassist and the director wanted to play this one lol. he knew our guitarist wasnt going to be able to carry this one.

[@coinjar4962]

Lmfao kinda felt. I do bari in our jazz band but our lead trumpet outed me as a bassist and ours is graduating so now I have to do bass since we already have another bari in jazz 😭

[@thomasrikala4421]

Literally the same thing happened to me in hs like a decade ago lol

[@TheHeadphoneCat]

so glad my friends forced me to be in jazz band this year as a senior in high school. during one of the concerts in the middle-ish of the year, we got to see another school from the district play this tune, and my GOD, it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bethany5527]

The Big Phat Band came to the Gene Harris Jazz Festival yesterday and they were UNBELIEVABLE. We were all blown away. I honestly wanted to cry, but I couldn't stop smiling! They played Jazz Police as their encore, and I just AHHHH I can't even describe how amazing the whole thing was!!!

[@caliknowles5307]

Bethany Matson i was there too and it made my whole entire life. I was so happy for one that I got to see them and that they played this so ng because I love it!

[@rhimeparadox4267]

Bethany Matson I was also there! They were so good and our band director's hype for them didn't fall short at all. At the end I was wondering if they were gonna play Jazz Police and then my question was answered!

[@bethany5527]

Agh right?? I had never heard/heard of Jazz Police until then but I love it so much now! Especially because our band director got the music for it and we're playing it at our concert this week :)

This was my High School's encore song for 3 years; it was the crowd favorite. We also played God Rest Ye Merry Gentelmen, Let it Snow (for Christmas obviously), Hit the Ground Running, High Maintenance, Rippin n Runnin, and a few others that we had but never performed (I think Phat Pack and Count Bubba were 2 of them).

Those altissimo notes on the tenor sax...

[@BaronVonBaldy]

Quality... Love it.... and so... Professional,... Credit to ya, 🙏💕👍😎😎😎😎😎

[@FoxwolfJackson89]

Absolutely love listening to this piece and am simply psyched out that you can actually hear the guitarist, not to mention the bassist has some awesome jams and grooves. However, as a trombone player, I'm not really sure what the trombones are doing most of the song. Trumpets get some cool licks and chances to shine, saxes always get cool licks, guitars actually stand out, bassist is groovin', drummer is rockin', and even the piano has some little fills here and there, but trombones sound like... they're just making trumpets look better by adding meat to their chords, or doubling the low saxes on some runs, while trumpets go off and do their own thing here and there. Maybe at about the 0:48 mark, but that's about all I can think of. Unless Trombone 4 is doubling bari sax throughout the piece, which if he is... kudos. I know some jazz bands and pieces do that. Still would love to play this piece... always love playing the bass bone for jazz band. My trombone professor always referred to the bass trombone as the Instrument of the Heavens because of all that we have to do (blast out bass pedal notes with clarity and power to assert our band's dominance while still housing a tenor trombone range).

[@elliotkameron50]

I get to play 1st trombone for this piece in my jazz band and its actually quite active you just can't hear it in this recording

im an alto how dare ya (Note: I did play tenor for a short while but somebody dropped it in its soft case and it broke)

[@nousername4402]

I play Alto and I think that was a bad choice, the tenor sounds more rich and deeper. It's not like blasting bass low like a bari but it's not screechy high like an Alto. Shoulda kept it to the tenor it fits the song better.
