Welcome to the Jungle arranged by Paul Murtha

[@autizmo2963]

I just showed this to my director after school today. It was an instant yes. I'm the guitarist and this'll be my first solo in my time in jazz. I'm so pumped UPDATE!!! The sheets for this just arrived today and we went over it in class. It was funny to see the trumpets struggle but they weren't too bad for sight reading. Everyone thought the song was a good idea. Now I just have to get a solo figured out! 2ND UPDATE!!! We just played this in my schools final concert and I'm actually proud of the solo. Thinking about the solo and performing it is way worse than actually just doing it. Its fun

[@Erinnmnn]

Harvey Djent Nice! Good luck, man!

[@drakemckay6007]

We're playing this in my schools jazz band and I've been given the guitar solo to play on the tenor sax, I'm very excited.

[@jddo2004]

Hey, could you pls send me the sheets in priv, i would like that my jazz band play that song too. pls

[@bjmurillo5486]

Me too, i want a copy of this

[@Russell-dx9xm]

[@ChefMackWhittier]

As a trumpet player I love this!!!

[@evilmaker89]

Chef Mack Whittier This song is literally hell for trumpet, what are you talking about?

[@reviewsomatic]

I agree!!! It's soooo much fun to play!

[@ChristhespyGaming]

No

[@coryhall1197]

yes!!

[@0matt197]

It might be a little bit exhausting but its still a great arrangement

[@CryogenicChrysalis]

Tbh, this is so jazzy it sounds like it can be in Mario Kart 8 and I love it

[@abanaszewski985]

way better at 1.25!

[@YCantiBePro]

best at 2 times speed

[@bluforrestleaf]

Anthony Almodovar Agreed. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? hahaha

[@SOSAqua]

i was thinking the exact thing before i saw this comment

[@the_realpapajohn]

yall just don't understand what music is good for why its good playing it at more than 1 hurts my ears, from both a listener and a musician's standpoint

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

When a jazz band enters punk rock mode…love this Guns N’ Roses cover!

[@wolfy1o1gaming]

As a trombonist this is one of the funnest things I've ever played it's a brilliant arrangement and playing it with my school big band was👌🏻

[@amazingcow6963]

i play baritone vut this song is the sole reason i bought wand learned to play trombone, its so fun

[@alexandereckley899]

This is probably the coolest thing ever

[@LauraWrites777]

"I need more cowbell."

[@thomasjohann8901]

And a more groovy drum set, not that simple pattern

[@cayleb926]

I agree, more cowbell, my band has played it and loved it.

[@lucasmachroli9275]

Dude, literally my jazz band teacher said the same thing for one of our jazz band pieces. It was hilarious

[@oliverosborne2965]

i play first trumpet and i sent it to my conductor, love the high stuff. lets pray we get to play it.

[@KingKrafted]

Same dude! I just sent it too! Trumpets for life!

[@benjarvela7595]

What's the results? Did you play it?

[@benday5945]

as a trumpet player, I LOVE THIS!!!

[@fatfellag1336]

which part

[@benday5945]

all of it

[@Ma_x112]

But the first trumpet is very heavy i think. our first trumpet loves the song but hates her part :D i play the first trombone and it's absolutly amazing

[@djfancypants6642]

wao same

[@dailyblankscreen7938]

[@sammpolliard1708]

as a sax and a French horn and this being my favorite band in the world, I'm so in love with this 🔫🌷😍♥

[@randomguywhostoleallofyour88]

sssssaaaaaaaaammmmmmeeeee. except i only play sax

[@gweniverepolles715]

French horn!!!! Yasss

[@Cl1m4x]

nice, im a FH and Trumpet!

[@DaRealJeo]

We just had a concert at my school playing this piece, obviously being the 1st alto sax I enjoyed it. PS I wont let my conductor forget this piece! :)

[@NWSquadron]

The 5/4 bar is my favourite part of the piece, altogether an amazing chart!

[@dukcy7450]

even though you have an awkward 2 beat rest for the whole ensemble, it ties up everyone’s part in a way so when you start playing again beat 1 of the next measure the audience can hear the sound of all the instruments at once in sync.

[@NWSquadron]

@@dukcy7450 I agree 100%

[@spaghetti_noodles1238]

As a guitarist this song is amazing

I play sax and I get all the good parts. Happy. I played this before in 6th grade advanced band. It sounds so good with the guitar solo

[@jackedgeguitar]

i just did it with my school jazz band. IT WAS SICK M8!

[@NonexistentRom]

The moving part of trumpet 4 is so fun, I'm playing this freshman year and I get to blast it as loud as I can

[@ARMYFOX-zz6fz]

We once performed that and it was the coolest Song we ever played. i play the flute and have played the high G trumpet Part because it was too high for the trumpets in our school BigBand. But it was so much fun. : )

[@slyulftishell8845]

A.R.M.Y FOX YEAH FLUTE!!

[@zackwoods5077]

The high register is brutal for brass instruments compared to woodwinds. Rookie flute players often play notes that college level lead trumpets struggle with.

[@Wyl33_J]

Playing lead trumpet on this atm, it's a blast.

[@spirouultimate8470]

I am SO EXCITED to play this with my stage band!!!

[@nathanstucky3740]

Another great arrangement from Paul Murtha! Keep them coming!

[@ososkem]

I played this with a combined jazz band and ensemble at a big concert, it was great

[@kitayuan9842]

this is probably one of my fav songs on this channel, damn can't wait to be in our schools level 4 band instead of 3

[@AnabellsArchive]

I feel appreciated as a jazz guitarist listening to this🥹

[@geckokiddo]

my fav part in this is the extra beat in the 5/4 measure

[@natmcveigh3904]

that low a bari part at 79 is AMAZING

[@Jakeypoo05]

Possibly the best transcription of this song in the history of ever 🔥

[@Kitsaline]

This physically hurts to play sometimes but dear GOD it’s fun

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

“Do you know where you are?! You’re in the jazz jungle, baby! You’re gonna DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!”

[@adanmiller890]

I love this song!!!! its like one of the greatest songs!!! the jazz and some of the wood strings make a connection and play amazing!!

[@44._.099]

Oh man c'mon this piece just calls for that high G for trumpets somewhere

[@mrmoinn]

If you do the optional 8va's you play them

[@crazydiamond3403]

1:21 is my favourite part

[@TutorialsByBrazzor]

I play trumpet for over a year now and I'm so proud I can hit these notes properly. It's hard, but its very nice to play and practice with.

[@zedianzediessi]

As a (fill in the blank) player I love this

[@gillesdeblier257]

We play the concert band version but this one sounds one hundred times better!

[@andrewstevenson-y5q]

favorite band song by far

[@hugoburton5222]

Great arrangement. I'm so gonna suggest this.

[@Kristinapedia]

omg, this is friggin awesome.. wonder if Axl and the boys have heard this. lol

[@caseyarnott1506]

as a trumpet play I'm crying at how good tis sound like how do you even double tongue that fast?!

[@Erinnmnn]

Casey Arnott I would assume, because the notes are marked with tenutos, that you wouldn't double tounge at all. You could actually just slur between F and its alternate fingering (1&3).

[@DaRealJeo]

This is a definite for all swing bands!!!

[@Miguel-td2ow]

playing the guitar for this

[@Gavin.H.]

Very fun marching tune

[@gmanteer]

LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[@jamiekleinfelter7153]

Thanks to my suggestion my high school jazz band is playing this

[@harrisonlewisphotography8451]

At my school we've played this and it sounds awesome

[@runletrussian1982]

I hear a lot of people play this for like jazz concerts but my school band plays it for basketball games😂

[@JuNlr]

We were gonna play this for our jazz concert but due to covid it never happened. :(

[@philipph.1914]

bassbone is the funniest part!: D

[@clayyosten2833]

[@luigikidman3213]

The bass trombone part (4) is soooo fun but I get a bit dizzy with all those pedal Bbs 😅

[@jamesernst5278]

I played bass trombone on this song in jazz band in 7th and 8th grade and played bass trombone.

[@stevenlasch]

So swaggy!

[@Monkiiengineer]

At the beginning, it sounds like Guile's theme from Street Fighter 2

[@superskyman6418]

you can play the chameleon bassline to this it's too perfect

[@thaimosaone]

That's the way "Welcome to the Jungle" should have sounded like in Fallout games :D

[@frediberri3479]

Well done!

[@erolyilmaz3114]

2:30 is my fav part

[@Kickingpplout]

May I just say that I am currently playing the bari part to this in three different bands and in the change from 4/4 to 5/4 back to 4/4. In the 5/4 change even in the score it's missing a rest causing my chart and piece to look funny just a little heads up lol

[@kamehameha5742]

Im playing the bass trombone part in my band.

[@jakesherwood2935]

Matthew Loew I play bari sax as well in this piece

[@Livedracersteve]

+Jake Sherwood what do you guys think I play LOL.

[@jburtonca]

+Matthew Loew You're right, and it's not an uncommon thing. I'm surprised this type of error can still happen with modern notation software. I know this would not happen with Sibelius notation software.

[@fadechaos8525]

i hope i get to play this for jazz band (if i get in)

[@danthefan28]

This sounds like it should play before something like a real life version of The Running Man or something like that.

[@MomLAU]

I'm not a band student or director, but I'm enjoying listening to these arrangements! They did a great job adapting this song for jazz band. I have one question, though: this is around 3 1/2 minutes and we get to hear the whole thing--so why did they fade out "Law & Order" at just barely over 2 minutes??? Please, post ALL of these songs IN THEIR ENTIRETY!!!!!!

This is rec. I think. Just hear the slower Sax-Solo. There is no special articulation except the legato but it sounds very different to all other Sax parts in this audio
