Mad respect for waluigi on the drums right there

[@calvinnotklein6368]

😂😂 All jokes aside, he’s one insanely talented drummer.

[@nishdafish258]

You Gotta Ride Jimin Before You Park Jimin let’s not forget the bass player and the vibraphonist, shame no one can hear them except for during solos

[@calvinnotklein6368]

That vibraphone player game me the chills after that amazing solo.

[@KleinkMusic]

I love the energy coming from that drummer.

[@KleinkMusic]

Doesn't have to be fancy to be good.

[@KleinkMusic]

In a tune like this, the energy kind of builds itself. lol

His energy was almost as large as his chin, incredible stuff

[@calvinnotklein6368]

They placed 1st

[@daletiger35]

Oh yeah, they definitely won that thing.

This band has probably been going after this chart all year long vs. All-State when you're given the music to sightread and prepare. I'm certain that you guys from Arizona sounded awesome though!

[@calvinnotklein6368]

[@TheRedstonedeluxe]

Vibes player is insane!

[@Frozenstone72]

Only soloist from this group that didn’t get outstanding musician (he got honorable mention)

[@MonologueMusicals]

So many aspiring jazz musicians have enrolled at this high school that they now fill FOUR jazz bands. Our school barely had 1. Our piano player had to double the bassline like Ray Manzarek.

amazing band of young talents

[@bread787]

vibes solo sheesh!!!!!!!

[@BATTIS94]

Dude on vibes is amazing! Damn!

[@salimonehitter]

These young folks are amazing!!! This is a very fun but intimidating tune. I played the original Dizzy Gillespie song book at Clark Atlanta University back in the early 2000s. This is an awesome rendition especially at their level. Awesome job guys continue on... 👏🏽

[@ruscopcoltrain]

One of the smoothest trumpet solos you’ll see followed by one of the spazziest.

[@TheRedstonedeluxe]

Come on they're in highschool

[@theblackbasketball]

Spazzy or not, the dude was shredding.

[@BassmanII]

Back in 1980, Chuck Mangione, Dizzy Gillespie, and a veritable who's who of top shelf musicians recorded the "Tarantella" album and this tune was part of Dizzy's set.

[@trumpete53snoho]

Best damn band EVAH!!!

[@JulianDiaz-Tpt]

Absolutely fabulous.

[@Doostun]

Can someone explain the bag of greens on the piano @4:28 lol

[@tobyjay8774]

If you watch the full set at the end the interviews explain it. not really a tradition Mr. Brown just does things like that sometimes

[@Hidanchi]

I'm new to this. Do they create their own solos?

[@PumilateVFX]

It’s called improvised solos

[@PumilateVFX]

They play what ever’s on top of their head

[@theblackbasketball]

Yeah, they create their own solos; it’s one of the things that makes jazz so special imo.
