[@giyukiu9925]

I played birdland as a joke so much that my friend said it is the rickroll of our band but dude this song slaps harder than my dad

[@KumQui]

My band played this song at our last concert it was last song

[@MonkeyzTrip]

this arrangement has weirdly shaped my understanding of big band and jazz over many years

[@Reinhardt_Kozlowski]

The tambourine player is OUT OF CONTROL and ON FIRE

[@SkidMarkSuprise]

I’m a bassist in our jazz band and we’re performing this in our winter concert and at our local airport.

[@ravensmith7063]

this is the official anthem of our jazz programme each year at the last concert both jazz bands play the song to pass the torch to the younger kids

Ahh this brings back so much memories from middle school... I still remember the fingerings too... can’t believe I’m graduating this year already.. time went by so fast 😅

[@soap9277]

I'm a percussionist in my high school band, but I'm also the bassist for our jazz band. We're playing this song as part of our winter concert later this week, and I couldn't be more excited. I'm more of a guitarist in general, and I'm fairly new to jazz bass so learning this song was definitely tough, but I finally managed to nail it today.

[@noah-qc5xj]

I am absolutely loving this song I am playing in the band at school OMG

[@leap541]

This feels like something from Mario Kart

[@kono152]

my school's band played this this year and i was so impressed, especially by the drummer, that i had to come check this out

[@larris760]

Tuba on bass guitar part. Crazy octave jumps 🤪

[@robertroot6317]

I love the bass part. I would reccomend having a look at the Maynard Ferguson bass part. It really slaps.

[@juliang0255]

Yup I play bass guitar and have played this, it is very fun and sounds very nice

[@sallybucket6924]

We played this in marching band my freshman year of high school.

[@inkthelosermoonshine2094]

Im one of the bassists (the only one that actually plays though, or is actually present for HALF THE MEETS-), and listening to this helps a lot with figuring out my piece, playing this for my fall concert and am pretty excited :)

[@Farmdafish]

My schools jazz band is playing this for our fall concert today can't wait to play this

[@felixmusik1926]

Good luck. Waht instrument do you play

[@mataega]

I think the score calls for cowbell at the beginning but otherwise this is perfect.

[@spacefaring_squid_]

We are playing this exact arrangement, and I don't remember seeing anything about a cowbell but I may be wrong.

[@mataega]

@@spacefaring_squid_ I was just thinking back to when I was in school ..the teacher may have added for extra effect or to keep everyone synchronized ..but it does sound very cool!

I used to because I heard another arrangement where it was up an octave. It just always sounded cool to me.

Bass record for me 1.75x speed hoping to get 2x soon.

[@jorymil]

I like this arrangement better than Maynard's for some reason. What I miss here is a flute - played in a band that added flute to the woodwinds, and really added a great texture.
