we're playing this right now in our high school jazz band and it's taking me forever to get this down on the drums

[@williamzbball]

you got this bro, make sure to keep time on the hi-hat aswell, and last bit of advice, do the rhythm played at the trombone solo + sax solo that matches the audio.

[@ryancarter2959]

1:36 definitely one of my favorite Bari parts of any Latin jazz chart I’ve played. Super simple but amazing

[@CasonGuidry]

@ryancarter2959 same. Bari player and I agree

[@tysonmcauley832]

its so orgasmic

[@KylerHawkins-q2h]

Same it was very fun to play.

[@Kevin-ek1su]

When I was in middle school I was in the 7th grade jazz, the 8th grade jazz played this and I absolutely fell in love with the song first hearing it. I really wish I could have played it

[@nhsparkles]

As a pianist I LOVE THIS FREAKIN SONG and the small lil solos at the beginning are the best

[@visionlegacy8166]

bro i think they’re called fills lol

[@bucketoven]

shhh let the person dream

Chili Today, Hot Tamale (CMMS Jazz Band 2022 Spring Concert) 4K video. This middle school got it right

[@elot6990]

Tenor 1 player. I have a solo that isn’t featured in this recording!! Really tricky to learn, but this song is definetly the best jazz band song I’ve played this year.

[@shadowslasher53]

my brother played jazz band so i got the pleasure to listen to this song over and over again

[@shadowslasher53]

update: it’s like 2 years later and i got a spot in jazz band as a guitarist- my brother played piano so we’re pretty similar in terms of what we do.. (i was an 8th grader when i left the first comment and am now a sophomore) i really wanted to get in jazz (as you can tell from how salty the previous comment is) and finally did it! not sure if anyone will read this but always remember if you really really want something, than you will do all it takes to get it 😊😊😊

[@bellastevensstevens-lb7vi]

as a bari i appreciate that we finally get appreciation for our work

[@krunkusmunkus1681]

I have such fond memories of playing this in middle school. Now that I’m coming back to it as someone who’s about to go to college for jazz I realize how simple this song actually is. Other than the sax soli/break this song is very bare bones compared to other Latin charts I love today. I think this song was just easy enough for a middle school me to play and just catchy enough for a middle school me to love. I love this song.

[@TheSilverWolf6076]

the bari part for this song is amazing

[@joelasaucedo]

That last chord is the best thing ever.

[@calibermia7610]

Is that sarcasm

[@bogabog]

It's the same chord almost every jazz piece ends on

[@noice611]

dude this song is always making me dance while I play the solo!! i just cant help it

[@devonmonahan1529]

When i was in 8th grade i played this song and i was on 1st trumpet and it sort of motivated me to try out for Jazz ocrchestra (advanced jazz band) in highschool and though i thought i couldnt do it, im a 1st trumpet in our jazz orchestra and its SO HARD! but i love it

[@elijahgobert6654]

Ha This is funny cuz same thing happened with me played this as freshman then this was probably the song that pushed me to get better at trumpet

[@elot6990]

These little fills at 3:03 are SO GOOD!! I’m currently missing the third page, but my music teacher is trying to get it. Tenor sax, can’t wait to play this whole thing!

[@Alsifnrbdvehrj]

Elot u nerd clarinet better

[@bigg3414]

Nice trombone solo.I liked

[@alexk8792]

Now this is some hot jazz music!

[@Preslovesu]

I am a jazz band player and I love playing this song

[@jacobsites9201]

8th grade bass bone here and love this song so much!

[@kaydenrowson8099]

We made Tmea and this was one of our songs look forward to playing this again

[@schlieffenman957]

As an Alto sax player, this was one of the funnest things I've ever played, period. Key changes can be a bit difficult imo, but enough practice can easily help with that.

[@jeanetterogers4509]

I am going to play this later this year(8th grade sax)

[@luckyafsdjflasioandfi6939]

I'm on vibes for this song so I'm just a trumpet double essentially but I play the cowbell at measure 81 :) I'm actually going to jazz practice as I type this lol

[@JimmyDimmyNimmy]

I’m a trumpet, and I wish I could play that trombone part

[@Vick09]

2:03 best part

[@zachgoldbeck314]

The last chord sounds like something from the Incredibles

[@thomasmcdonald4888]

My schools jazz band is playing this song this year. We have 2 freshmen, 1 sophomore, and 1 junior (me) on the trombone. Anyone got advice on that solo? First time I ever even heard it was yesterday and I’m terrified.

[@kadengarland3676]

Thomas McDonald just work on improvising or if you want you can transcript this solo. You can also play the written part

[@thomasmcdonald4888]

Kaden Garland I’ve been playing it as written and I’ve gotten kinda good at it, practicing almost constantly. I haven’t tried to improvise yet

[@Rafael-sd1fi]

I'm a bari sax player easy but I still love it I'm bari 1 so I get the tenor 1 solo cuz they still kinda suck but there getting better but trust a bari solo fits and know nda fire

[@truebelieverof7117]

Trumpet players unite‼️‼️

[@officialdestroyer1250]

Anyone know how to get the improv or something like it for the t sax solo

[@Puthyslayer2000]

As someone who has only been playing set for one year, and has to play this confidently at a jazz fest in a month, I am struggling naturally. I specialize in rock and swing.I’ve never played a song like this, does anyone have any tips?

[@prime5991]

Listen to a crap ton of samba music since thats the groove of this tune, listening is the most powerful tool to help to grow musicianship. Have that groove really sink into your subconscious. Transcribe ideas from good samba drummers. Memorize the melody and the shout section, be able to sing it from memory, so that you can play fills around it to support the horns.

[@luckyafsdjflasioandfi6939]

Idk what advice to give you bc I play vibes but I'm cheering for you :)

[@TH3Y-FW-K1NG]

Any trombones here?

[@il.dj.k]

Sounds nice, but it is hard
