Easy Jazz Ensemble - Grade 2
Popular again thanks to the recent recording by Michael Bublé, this hit was originally from the Broadway musical The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd. This bluesy arrangement requires no solos, but gives each section of the band a chance to be featured.

[@sukiyaiko9564]

I understand why people are concerned about how bad the trumpets are, but in the description, it specifically says "Grade 2" It's not meant for aggressive trumpets lol.

[@derangedstylus]

Hannah Aiko thank you, finally someone who gets it. it’s still an amazing song, just make sure you look at the description before you criticise, people.

[@iceborg05]

exactly they’re perfectly in blend

[@Iz_nex]

I think trumpets are cool

[@ScullFire]

As a former trumpet player who is in year 2 of high school marching band we are playing this song this year and it is a good song but I hate my trumpet 1 part on this song

[@mellowtron214]

Rick was my jazz band leader. Pretty strange to see a song he arranged getting half a million views on KZbin. I was trying to look up his son who drums and found this. GO RICK GO! You 9 fingered animated smoking jacket!

[@Opal_The_Dino]

I play bass trombone in jazz band and my band teacher said I could play as loud as I want! Superrrrr excited- I’m considered one out of three of the best trombone players in regular band, but usually don’t try to stick out 🫠 so this will be (hopefully) a good confidence booster when we play 👍

[@awildfilingcabinet6239]

Unpopular opinion: mellowing out the trumpets doesn’t ruin the song but rather gives it a different feel, that works just as well.

3:13 is the best

Birds flying high You know how I feel Sun in the sky You know how I feel Reeds driftin' on by You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good Fish in the sea You know how I feel River running free You know how I feel Blossom on the tree You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean Sleep in peace when the day is done, that's what I mean And this old world is a new world And a bold world For me Stars when you shine You know how I feel Scent of the pine You know how I feel Oh freedom is mine And I know how I feel

A lot of comments come from people who wish the trumpets did the ‘screaming part’ but you also have to keep in mind that this is an arrangement for jazz band not a soloist trumpet. If there was an arrangement for solo trumpet they would have the screaming trumpet, but it’s about balance.
