I had the great fortune of being up in front of the band with a young Sean Jones sitting in the trumpet section. As one of his high school band directors in the mid-90’s it was easy to see the incredible greatness bottled up inside him - ready to explode within the world of music. Such a dominating force as a performer and music educator! Love you, Sean!

That bass trombone player could kill someone with those low Bs

As a very young jazz musician hearing this gives me goosebumps. Overall just great sound and it feels like the jazz spirit lives in everyone of these individuals.

Lol, "band leader" plays over a kid. I don't know the piece, so maybe the trumpet is supposed to drown out the sax.

[@arby163]

Sean Jones is a great and I love to hear him play. However in these high school all star bands many of us would prefer to hear the kids featured, not the adult leader.

[@bryanstehura9282]

I completely disagree. What an incredible opportunity for these kids to work with and learn from a professional in action. Some of the best knowledge gained as a musician is watching and listening to someone better than you.

[@ziruini5071]

I imagine the kids are featured more on other songs. But can you imagine being one of these kids in a band led by Sean Jones one of the best trumpet players in the world and NOT hearing him solo?
