You know its something special when band members who've heard him play this hundreds of times turn around and watch with big smiles.

For those looking for the trombonist playing the bass line (which is a full b flat)...he is just over the right shoulder of Mr. Bilal (to his left in the video). You can clearly see for each deep b flat he has the trombone in the 1st slide position whereas everyone else is playing either the harmony or counter melody.
