Central Park North-Central Washington University Jazz Band 1

[@magicmexican59]

7:02 Takes the most lit solo of 2016 nonchalantly bows

[@dough_364]

monster performance from everyone, especially alto 1 and trumpet 2.

[@mikeprevost8650]

Trumpet 2 is the flugel solo. The trumpet solo is trumpet 4, assuming the director goes with the customary section placement. 2, then lead(s), then 3, finally 4.

[@lordgdfarquad3114]

@@mikeprevost8650 I believe the flugel solo is tpt 4 or 5 (if this tune has 5 tpt parts). Because their lead is in the dead center meaning they are not using a standard high school ish type setup. 2nd would be on the right of lead in these kinds of setups

[@Dxrnit420]

That flugelhorn solo is the best change of texture I’ve ever heard

[@fabiozenti8828]

The girl on Flugelhorn plays divinely! Top!

[@austinjeffris38]

She really is. Cool person and a great teacher too. Incredible player.

[@mikeprevost8650]

@@austinjeffris38 Very versatile, too. I've seen a few of these clips now, and on some she doubles on the first trumpet part, although she doesn't have William's extreme range. I believe she's now teaching full time as the music director at a high school out in WA.

@@mikeprevost8650 She has succeeded Scott Brown at Roosevelt HS, which is one of the best high school jazz programs in the country.

What a beautiful tone on the Flugelhorn, amazing!

[@mikeprevost8650]

The light vibrato is awesome. Actually, her trumpet tone is equally as good.

[@pajeeper420]

Smokin...TJ/ML approves

[@aidenzeitchick]

was that a bass clarinet lol.

[@salfaimusic]

In the original score, it is marked that the woodwinds should switch to other instruments, like the bass clarinet, at some point

[@jorgepoblete1734]

1....profesionales.....ok

[@jimshelton115]

They play great but I get tickled at music director Chris directing skills like he having spasms

[@mikeyeyey8678]

this band is only as notable as it is today because of Chris

[@jimshelton115]

Get that leader out of the picture he’s never on top of the accents & rhythm looks like he’s having spasms

[@mikeprevost8650]

I know, right? He should just give the downbeat at the start and let the rhythm section take the wheel. These kids don't need a conductor.

[@bradleyschmidt7190]

This is typical though of college bands. I can't think of any college band that isn't directed, which is weird cause once you go into the pro world very few bands are directed. Buddy directed his band through the drums! If you've got a solid rhythm section you shouldn't need a conductor. These kids play well enough they don't need the help lol

[@alexambroise111]

I know this is an old ass thread but I can't help but say this: I was in the big band at my university. He's not directing anymore, because he doesn't need to. But he DID direct and teach a whole lot during all of the semester leading up to that. He's there in a 'orchestra conductor' function at that point: to bring some stuff out more, bring some stuff down, monitor tempo, and extinguish fires if he needs to. Most of his work is done by the time the show rolls around!
