Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder/arr. Michael Philip Mossman

[@poppyraima5342]

Can we just stop and appreciate those harmonies in the saxes during the chorus? Because that was a thing of beauty.

[@tiahcoates1703]

yass 👏👏

[@xXgoldenphoenix7]

As a sax player, I'm thrilled to hear how well they harmonize. Iv'e only been playing for 6 years, since 6th grade. Now as a senior in high school, I know how hard it can be when a tenor or bari decides they want to over play me as a lead alto.

[@brianmclean2199]

yes poor bari never gets any love always just "there" never gets heard enough imo

[@Colossa3739]

Ironic at my school i have the same problem as lead tenor when the altos try to over play

[@caidenangel7697]

[@freshlysqueezedaesthetics2942]

This tenor sax player is something to talk about. Those licks!!!!!!!!

[@aidan4473]

I’m annoyed by this and you’re welcome because the tenor solo is improvised so I don’t know how it actually goes

[@hiromiarash172]

Ikr! His name is Trevor Lawrence and he’s awesome

[@kobiedozier]

Aidan transcribe it bro

[@maetzchenmusik]

@Hezekiah Daggett Oui, ça s'entend comme dans le Midi de la France.

[@DanielSmith_19]

Right?! He's absolutely astounding!!

[@sharkkedy]

World's best studio tenor sax.

[@hiromiarash172]

Trevor Lawrence is a G.O.A.T

[@DanielSmith_19]

Oh hell yeah

[@Algorox]

Playing this in our jazz band as a trombone player! So fun! and dem painful 16th notes

[@kuiper921]

I know!! I hate anything beyond 16th notes at 120bpm!!

[@dudipahima9215]

me too! this is amazing! the 16th notes killed me!

[@stephen7565]

Am also playing it as 1st trom in our school big band - the 16ths aren't that hard after 2 or 3 hours of practice.... now just to master the double time swing stabs....

[@reapwr_901_.9]

nah mate bari sax is super fun as well! this year though I mite play as the drummer

[@endastforkommentering9913]

Agree

[@xEclipsePS]

I don't think that a better Tener Sax solo exists! First time I heard it i was to amazed for words

[@aidan4473]

Sadly I’m moving from tenor to Bari for jazz band so I won’t very get this solo

[@kylekingsberry5680]

See the tenor solo on MacArthur Park

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

It's fun sure but to call it the best you ought to be out of your mind.

[@Grace-m2m1d]

I have to do this tenor solo and I’m so scared it won’t be as complicated as I think this guy improvised a bit

[@KJ_Wynn]

Seriously, the coolest arrangement I ever played while in high school. I’d argue having the experience to perform this chart is what inspired my love for playing in big bands, forever.

[@musicalanxiety5086]

We are playing this for marching band in our stevie wonder medley this year and I really hope this song dosnt get ruined for me since this is such a bop

[@salems.bytche]

God. I can literally just put myself in that seat, all the way to the right of the ensemble, as a Bari sax, and everyone just smiling and having the vibe of their lives when we’d all simultaneously play that lick…. . . . Can you tell I miss jazz?

[@Jaymac720]

I really wish my jazz band was competent enough to play this. Like one trumpet player can effectively gliss and no trombones (including myself) can play those 16th notes

[@bartsimpson9894]

I fell u bro Although I can play it my band is...well lets say “improving”

[@insertnamehere9004]

Lol my jazz band is in the process of learning this I play the sax and the version I have has 6 flats 😭😭😭😭

[@erraticcat3887]

My Jazz band is trying to learn this right now. It's going pretty well, surprisingly. Still got a long way to go though.

[@jiMMY0511]

Music is a world within itself With a language we all understand With an equal opportunity For all to sing, dance and clap their hands But just because a record has a groove Don't make it in the groove But you can tell right away at letter A When the people start to move They can feel it all over They can feel it all over people They can feel it all over They can feel it all over people Music knows it is and always will Be one of the things that life just won't quit But here are some of music's pioneers That time will not allow us to forget For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo And the king of all Sir Duke And with a voice like Ella's ringing out There's no way the band can lose You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over You can feel it all over people You can feel it all over I can feel it all over - all over now people Can't you feel it all over Come on let's feel it all over people You can feel it all over Everybody - all over people

[@fabricwheels7028]

This is probably my favorite jazz band piece I’ve ever played.

[@cosmicguy7150]

Even the bass gets in on the action. Incredible!

[@ambermildenhall4332]

YES! We played this exact cover (I play trumpet personally) in Jazz! Good times

[@katydonovan1886]

This song has been awesome to play in jazz, especially the drum solo 😄

[@seancm5329]

I loved this song now I can finally play it on bari. so excited thank you to who ever made this!!!

[@VR.Squirrel]

Sean C M Bari Saxaphone for the win lol!! I march Bari 😂

[@Godlike7_]

i hate marching bari...

[@khoido7357]

boo

[@a_literal_crow]

Bari sax players rise up

[@mysticsanta3714]

I play alto sax and my brother plays tenor in our Highschool Jazz band and you can bet that after school we’re just grooving playing this song

[@Ashley-cr4tf]

U know they’re good when u can hear the groove in the bass

[@estebansepulveda3395]

played this for jazz band as a tenor saxophone and i love this song so much

[@isaacisawesome6]

Woah, we have the same last name!

[@matthewzimmel7906]

Can we just give props to the drummer for the good time and difficult rhythm

[@lukeliebert1199]

Good! I’m not the only one who listens to this😁 Hi Matt!

[@nuro_gtag]

I be absolutely bopping at measures 14-18

[@kalebjacobs5473]

It’s beautiful I want to cry

[@papagru4688]

I met Michael Philip Mossman. He's a great guy and a fantastic trumpeter and arranger.

[@BEAST_UA1]

This song too jazzy for my head 🎼🎶🎵

[@rhyzzo_]

My friends and I in my jazz are going to give this a shot we are pretty young so I’ll be pretty impressed if we can pull this off for the talent show or something

[@theyeak]

How did it end up going

[@joshwoosterproductions4717]

Love the trumpets in this. I play trumpet myself and so does my friend. It's gonna be hard to learn this in time for a November talent show but we'll try. I'm inns try an et a bunch of people in my year involved. If we ever record it I'll post it onto here and link it below :)

[@joshwoosterproductions4717]

I may need to make a few adjustments to the music because we have a singer, so all the stuff that the saxes and trombones and that do is kinda unnecessary but I can work around it

[@theultimatechopstick3613]

You'll need a good drummer, otherwise it won't work :) but it's an amazing piece of music

[@joshwoosterproductions4717]

+Sgt. Benni ill find the best drummer i can, and boy, are you right

[@austindomonicavalos5957]

Same goes here fam

[@imjaidynapper]

I really wish I had the skills to transcribe that amazing solo.

I transcroobed it email me if u want

[@benyoung7229]

some girl in my schools jazz band sight read that solo amazingly i have not recovered since

[@theoriginalcows1357]

Impossible what in the heck. The written solo or the Trevor Lawrence transcription?

[@thebrotato642]

the feature at 1:06 took so long for me to learn but now that it's under my fingers (trumpet boi) I appreciate the mastery behind it 🤣

played this on guitar as a freshman.never gets old

[@liamhigbee4308]

Ditto!

[@SigilOfAletheia]

I had no clue the middle part had a solo tenor sax part. The years that I've played this arrangement in high school, no tenor sax player ever played it lol.

[@najibandzz]

Your profile matches your comment 100%

[@jesse4093]

i dont know if this is even relevant anymore but I managed to transcribe the solo 3 years back when I was playing this piece. If you need it, just tell me

[@judegustilo5091]

Aaron Wilkes I have a guy in my middle school hit that part like it was no prob

[@bstar7870]

Aaron Wilkes yeah we always stop before the tenor solo and go back to the beginning. thank the lord cause this bitch right here (me) CANNOT and WILL NOT play it.

[@FranciscoRamirez-ql1lk]

[@ThatsMaestro]

I would like to know the name of the guy that played that Tenor Solo!

[@arnoczkyzoltan6158]

+Terrell Gilmore Me too :D

[@RoseCadenza]

Yeah. The solo sounded amazing.

[@hiromiarash172]

The tenor’s Trevor Lawrence, he’s amazing

[@miguelalameda5492]

Hiromi Arash Trevor Lawrence the college football quarterback? 😂

[@mystxryx]

Miguel Alameda no there is a saxophonist named Trevor Lawrence

[@Blazewoods]

Tip for any basses who may be trying to learn this and stumble across this comment: for that part that everyone does (the one that’s all 16th notes and starts with a C), that one bar where it’s E-D-C-A-G-D-C-A-C, there’s a secondary fingering you can do for the A and G (A: D string, 7th fret. G: D string 5th fret) that makes it 100 times easier to play rather than trying to slide down the fretboard with immense accuracy and speed

[@Aliceuhhh-rq6gw]

*hears tenor sax solo* *hyperventilation*

[@athentang4795]

the trumpet part sounds so good

[@BryceRosenwald]

Feels like sacrilege to play this tune in C instead of B lol

[@garrettlubbersmusic5526]

Bryce Rosenwald it’s in D

[@garrettlubbersmusic5526]

Bryce Rosenwald oof I take that back u we’re right, I meant my D😂😂

[@benjaminleiby3273]

no it is in c wtf look at the piano part

[@amaice]

Benjamin Leiby Yeah, the original is in B.

[@seanwhite7671]

Try improvising in G# Major as an alto or bari player or in C# major as a tenor or trumpet player, it kinda sucks. There’s a reason most jazz songs are in the key of Eb and Bb

[@madelyncrum]

this song will forever haunt my band

[@abc77888]

omg I remember playing this for 7th grade jazz band. I used to play 2nd trumpet but I really wanted to play 1st with my crush lol I'm kind of glad I didn't. good times

[@user-xb6wj7wp7y]

great arrangement

[@keditsyoutube]

I’m playing this in Jazz Band, I’m in 7th grade and I’m playing 2nd Trombone! Kinda a tough song! I love it though!

[@noahbrill1447]

That run at 1:52 was amazing

[@KingstonCzajkowski]

Yeah, it's awesome that the soloist is thinking about the accompaniment part, and the way it fits sounds great, in addition to the fact that the run is super cool alone

[@NicksterFilms1]

For our highschool jazz festival we are playing this song. The drums to this are extremely fun... Until you get to the double-time swing part. At that part I just say to our conductor: "I can't even. I'm in grade 9. Get our grade 11 percussionist to do this."

[@NicksterFilms1]

Not bad, I finally got the double time down. All that is left is waiting for the jazz band festival later this year.

[@NicksterFilms1]

Thank you! Best wishes with your musical studies too!
