I'm playing this for jazz band

[@hazel_hora5046]

I was the vocal for my 7th grade jazz band

[@harmony6643]

I actually like it. My band and I played it a few years ago and we had a great singer and the piece sounded truly beautiful. I also think that the band in this video did quite a good job with that performance, although (excuse me) I think that our first trumpet player was better, as was our singer (imp she's just the best!!). Still, I like the piece as well as I like how this band performed it. Just because it's jazz it doesn't have to have complex rhythms or be upbeat or anything like that. As far as I see it, the difficulty of this piece is not to just PLAY it but rather HOW to play it. And even if you don't agree with me and think "That guy has no conception of good music" - Trust me, I do and I know exactly what I'm talking about.

I play this song in my schoolbigband🎺🎷

[@togamitown504]

I think for a piece like this, the vocal solo should be replaced with a low brass or tenor solo, i feel it will sound better.

[@Julie-vu3qd]

theres a version with a tenor sax solo instead of vocals!!

[@tonylinden3819]

The vocal solo takes away from the rest of the band.

[@southproduct7463]

I think that's what a solo is.

[@southproduct7463]

+Golly McOxbig I like your wording; it's very fluent. I'm glad I get to be the moron here.

[@teenawf5154]

Take out the vocals and I'm good

[@roryoboyle4453]

The singing ain't good. Other than that, it was great

[@katho8472]

I am puzzled as well! She sings completely different things sometimes, compared to what's in the score - for example, the very beginning is one beats late. Tons of autotune, too.

[@nerdyoof6248]

Baris always too loud in these recordings lmao

[@loperg5]

boring song, and the vocalist is out of tune. Not happy our bigband wants to play this. Petroeska

[@Skarablade]

P. Petroeska We played it and everyone liked it, but you have to play it a bit slower. I played the first trumpet, holy shit, this was the hardest thing I've ever played in my 6 years.

[@loperg5]

Try anything of the bigband of Maynard Ferguson, that's something else!

[@loperg5]

Skarablade If you drag it even more, there's nothing left. For a drummer this piece sucks! (no tempo, no swing!)

[@awildfilingcabinet6239]

Funny, our drummer managed to make this piece. We had a better vocalist, but our drummer was the star of the piece. Then again, we definitely swung it. It’s definitely better if you make it swing.
