[@ichikoaobaenjoyer]

thank you George Collier for showing this

[@johnpargeter6060]

Fantastic, kids. The Duke would be proud!

[@xaviermorada3206]

Star Wars quoted twice in one song by the same person! Awesome

[@benfleishman2944]

Wow found Xavier

[@cherylburkhead1334]

And Lincoln. Mom was in a music program at Lincoln and it is why she got me into the clarinet.

[@albiondi4078]

That's how a sax section is supposed to play together! great band ! let's not forget the great great Fletcher Henderson who wrote this great arrangement a real genius

[@ardendorney3174]

And so….music lives on. The Duke is smiling..

[@trainliker100]

Actually, this song was written by Fletcher Henderson. A very significant composer, pianist, and arranger and one of those who created the structure of swing music.

[@edp5409]

10:00 DAMN THAT DRUMMER IS COOL. NO CHANGE IN FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WHETHER HE'S JUST KEEPING THE RHYTHM OR BANGING IT OUT. AMAZING.

[@fejn7963]

I saw this girl in the trumpet section and I just had to listen. And she was amazing like everyone else. We have many good bands in Norway but never heard someone swing like this before. This is swing on steroid taken to a new level. Amazing how they swing and back it up with sound and dynamic. Its like listen to contemporary music going swing and sound and fun. This teacher know what he is doing and they are lucky to have him around.

[@xsyxsykloj9941]

The portrait of Louis Armstrong note choice in the trumpet solo! My guy!

[@chrisharrison809]

All memorized? This is dope

[@IanBenedict]

lol the clarinetist at about 12:23

[@sakushey]

in-fucking-credibly well played guys. thanks for this. for this age this is remarkable

[@williamparker1085]

look at the joy in their faces !!

[@trainliker100]

That is some VERY clean and tight playing. If you laid it up against professionals, I'm not sure you would be able tell which was which.

[@robertboyce7919]

thanks to young men and women like this big band is still alive...

[@mirtapallero8517]

Qué talentos desarrollados! Congrats!

[@guapo2772]

Fantastic

[@natrixxvision6997]

The guitar keeps a nice steady rhythm. I can feel it.

[@MrHestichs]

Was it common with older bigbands for the entier sax sections to break out a clarinet and play it at the same time like at 5:15

[@leighd4004]

Great sound!

[@klein0001]

New jazz blossom.

[@janetjwoodward]

Wonderful!

[@1plum]

Sing Yasna Sing.

[@eveydes4722]

Wow. See you Yasna.

[@andrewchesney]

Wow!

[@prodbyblake4408]

How

[@leonite772]

Rip mute 5:30

[@JorisPosthumus]

ofcourse this sounds great, but is there any real improv or are the students just playing a solo they studied on?

[@peterweatherley7669]

Oh, don’t be such a sourpuss!

[@antoinetran900]

All real improv

[@bobdillaber1195]

Even if every friggin note was written out, if a person don't have the feel for it, you know it in an instant. It sounds corny. I didn't hear one tiny note in these three songs that sounded corny. An I played jazz in the old days.

[@trainliker100]

I don't think there is a way to know unless you have inside information. Or have multiple performances you can listen to (such as in the case of the band in the "Swing Girls" movie where the solos were always note for note the same).

[@JorisPosthumus]

for sure but it just seems that they are reading the solo, nothing wrong with that ofcourse @@trainliker100
