lol

[@lonniejones4047]

That's Cosimo Fabrizio one of my past karate students, he comes from an extremely talent family.

[@michael_stefanko]

yes!!!!!!

[@michael_stefanko]

I know him personally!!! what a guy

[@Twentythousandlps]

In his lifetime, Ellington's scores were under lock and key - nobody could see them. If he could have seen this video, he'd be rattled to see others playing this - but thrilled by what he heard and saw.

[@bradiano3764]

God bless you man

[@ekcentrik]

These kids are incredible. They give me hope for the future of jazz.

[@albiondi4078]

THIS IS HOW SWING JAZZ SHOULD BE PLAYED. THEY ALL MUST DO A LOT OF LISTENING TO OLD JAZZ RECORDINGS TO PLAY THE WAY THEY PLAY. THEY ARE ALL AMAZING! VERY HAPPY TO SEE SUCH A DIVERSE GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE OF ALL RACES AND GENDERS. DOESN'T MATTER WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE IF YOU PLAY GREAT WE ARE ALL ONE! LET THE DIVERSITY OF THIS GROUP OF TALENTED PEOPLE MAKING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER BE AN EXAMPLE TO THE REST OF EVERY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD HOW WE SHOULD ALL WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE GREAT RESULTS! FOR A PIANO TO PLAY GREAT MUSIC IT NEEDS BOTH WHITE AND BLACK KEYS!

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

It's a damn shame how low these views are; this should be famous!

[@michael_stefanko]

damn str8!

[@annonymous6827]

It is terrible. Meanwhile modern music is dumbing everyone down 😔

[@ВладимирГриневич-ю2щ]

Мне уже 87, но до сих пор не могу забыть эту джазовую " поступь" ! Свинговый полёт, шикарного, гармонического звучания инструментов, всегда напоминает скорость со свистом резины в поворотах, сердечный драйв от сопричастности к содеянному! ДЖАЗ , это что то , просто необыкновенное, неземное! Однако друзья, МУЗЫКУ, появившуюся за долго до рождения ДЖАЗА, ВЕЛИКУЮ МУЗЫКУ, НУЖНО НЕ ТОЛЬКО ПОМНИТЬ, НО И ЛЮБИТЬ! ОНА -- ОЧЕНЬ ЩЕДРЫЙ ПОДАРОК ВСЕМУ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСТВУ. За что, тумблер с шотландским, сейчас, с удовольствием "оприходую" ! Всем здоровья !

[@kengwahgoldstein9637]

Thank you to see these young men and women playing jazz. I could see a golden delight in these young great future musicians. Thumb up. “Just Wow.”

[@Joshfloressax]

that rhythm section though jeez

[@dylanmcgaharn5676]

the pianist wasn't that good but the rest of them wow

[@parsaspianocafe2582]

Pianist ain’t good tbh

[@forgetful9845]

@@parsaspianocafe2582 i thought the piano was great

[@parsaspianocafe2582]

Nah she ain’t trust me lol

[@duncancofell8960]

Videos years old now but she’s playing just fine. Just some gatekeepers judging too early. She’s probably a total pro now

[@STONEDOK]

Charles Pan on alto sax plays so relaxed and his tone is almost like Johnny Hodges's !!!

[@michaelwilcox5168]

There was a glimpse of Hodges!! Also Gonsalves.

[@kobeconomon3528]

This swings so hard!

[@joshcharlat850]

Just a FANTASTIC perfomance!!

[@Egbert1957]

... was für tolle junge Künstler vieler Nationen.

[@seunghoyoum]

great to see such an musically appreciating crowd

[@0515benji]

That guitar player tho....next BB King

[@TheWhiteIan]

The cannonball trill!

[@martinroberts8469]

Great band !!!

[@frankmilligan6422]

Somewhere Jimmy Blanton is smiling...what a great bass player!!!

[@willmorris8198]

The poor bari sax player lol got little applause even though his solo was really solid

[@lewieq9596]

Applause do not matter. Jazz listeners know what is good that they appreciate without clapping. We feel it in our minds.

[@hoodlum6776]

@@lewieq9596 I agree with you 100 percent

[@bonnieprater5124]

I, for one, don't like to applaud after every solo because you can't hear what the next soloist is doing.

[@jamesfletcher1493]

@@bonnieprater5124 Yeah, I think it was because the trombone solo started right after

[@lanebrain55]

fantastic

[@luiszuluaga6575]

The altoist’s got some soul! 🎷😀

[@tannertaylor]

It’s pretty, pretty, pretty good

[@sega62s]

the bass player fixing his glasses at 0:20 is so cool

[@frankmilligan6422]

MAN! This is fantastic...that kid on sax sounded like Hodges or Lester Young for a few minutes...

[@syx8733]

Mans was just chillin while he destroyed the guitar

[@sebby2129]

the little smirk the sax did when he was done 😏

[@goldenpooper4326]

Guitar Solo: 2:29

[@charlesbarry6730]

Great . Duke would have been proud.

[@gustavoarmand4111]

Who is the pianist. Awesome!!! The Duke would be so proud. The guitar looks like Charlie Christian

[@MrWuggles]

Sometimes the articulations in the trumpets and saxes seemed a little, not lazy, a little too loose. That said, this band does one thing well that few high school bands can do: dynamics. Also love that bass player! Coming from a fellow bassist.

[@jakethebear595]

hmmm so U made a song about me epic

[@AndrewShusterman]

Oof missed Bb there Mr. Trumpet 1 4:47

[@noahjoo7231]

the guitar player solo was swinging

[@simonsays525]

What a fucking tasty guitar solo.

[@doughnutfingers]

Dude... I feel so bad for the Bari Sax. THIS IS LITERALLY YOUR SONG... and the rhythm section literally takes it for their own.

[@erinsaari-pruitt6038]

Did you manage to record the whole festival?

[@AZ-ct9xy]

No, sorry - I only recorded NA.

[@jiyujizai]

🌼😀💙🌱

[@natrixxvision6997]

That guitarist can really play.

[@captainrichieparadise5918]

Good lord, well played. Personally i think you should have lived a bit before playing jazz, and have at least 1 ex-wife and/or a drink/drug habit ;-)

[@michaelwilcox5168]

If the drummer isn’t making faces, it’s time to do it again.

[@anneturner1403]

the solo artists are just great. If you couldn't see them, one would think they be professionals. Will say the piano player just doesn't fit in with jazz, more a classical player..
