[@jonathane7373]

Oh and holy cow achiles high notes! My god!!!!

[@RO0T99]

Nothing Christopher Bill hasn't hit consistently in like 10 of his videos 😂

[@lisah9992]

Achilles is so good

[@DavidGonzalez-td3by]

Achilles!!!!!

[@quenzerbrau1]

Experienced the Canadian Brass at WIBC in Seattle last year and they were amazing. Met Achilles briefly and then Caleb and Chris spent some quality time talking with my son (Trumpet player) which was amazingly cool. Hope to get up there this year to hear/see you!

[@Xeziuz]

omg achilles is so chill! I met him a while back at a school thing! still got his autograph and picture!

[@connor_phillipz5689]

Yes all of these trombonists are fantastic and deserve much praise. But we should also acknowledge all the hours of editing this took. Thanks Christopher for committing so much time and energy for videos like this. It really shows and is well worth the effort. Please keep doing what you're doing.

[@sotosierra38]

When everyone had their own solo playing at the same time I was like wooaahhhhh!!

[@rraaf28]

Oh God. This is cool. I got to meet Achilles a few years back in St. Louis.

[@triman86]

So fascinating to hear such highly skilled musicians each with their own style playing together.

[@alanwood5394]

Some serious licks in this one.

[@elizabethsanders7523]

Wow...Somehow he still hasn't stopped leaving me speechless.

[@mimim8490]

when I saw the title I was HOPING it referenced to the group Herbie played with, I'm so happy and also, this is SO incredible!! love it, so much talent = unreal :D

[@classicaltrombone]

The title was key!

[@jonathane7373]

Woooooo!!!!! Super awesome! So many great trombone players packed into one video :)

[@marklong8608]

Just awesome! More, more. Have been a fan of Carol since the stars and stripes vid.

[@TromboneLoki]

all these guys and Chris still has the best hair

[@DCombs_00Bass]

[@ultramanxk7]

This video is worth watching several times.

[@johanneskamlage4814]

Just AWESOME! Christopher Bills, That's kinda ur best 1 until now

[@wesleythetrombonist]

this is just the inspiration i needed before practicing. fantastic playing by everyone!

[@200378820]

Omg I was flipping out the whole way through!! I love this! AMAZING VIDEO!!

[@petem9950]

whoa - heart skipped a beat - sweeeeet. Want more of this - this, m4, this, this....

[@petem9950]

when I saw credits, thought Bill was being funny - doing like movie credits or something until other players started popping up. Damn I am jazzed and ready to roll. Fantastic.

[@jaredramos5549]

Wow! That looks like such a fun time.

[@nobody342]

Wish I could find more music like this!!!! Wish you would play more like this:) Awesome

[@JudahGuerra]

Whoa

[@austin5920]

I loved this way too much

[@groovyunicyclist1612]

Twas fun watching you edit this, it turned out really well

[@raymondfallon7429]

There are 15 clarinet players or snare drummers out there that gave this thumbs down... argh..

[@amibam6977]

Very nice

[@jeremyhorn1005]

So dope

[@gelato147]

Great

[@FanTrombone]

great idea!

[@alessionovaria]

christopher you is the best

[@jimborden7232]

Congrats on putting together such an assembly of great t-bone players. I can't imagine how much work it must have been behind the scenes to work out the details of a collab like this both logistically and musically. Great funky chart for everyone to show off on! I hope all were enriched by the effort.

[@classicaltrombone]

I honestly just pulled them in a room at ITF and said "go!"

[@jimborden7232]

Damn! Just "go." That's just crazy talent all around.

[@thomasgill223]

Wow, that was amazing. Thanks for bringing everyone together and sharing.

[@jean-philippedameus9615]

3:50 the high note oh lord!

[@tyranto23]

Jean-Philippe Daméus 😵

[@wolverine843]

Dude that was sick! I'm a huge fan

[@gabegilliland5601]

This is the best thing.

[@goodzilla3122]

I would've liked to hear a solo from you Chris

[@ninjantman6510]

He has lots of solos

[@gameguy8101]

+ninjantman solo performances yes but we have never heard him do a jazz solo

[@goodzilla3122]

gameguy8101 We probably have but not enough

[@ninjantman6510]

+gameguy8101 true

[@Dragonelez]

There was a short one in his Sail loop :)

[@deadeyenumber2892]

Oh my god.....so damn good

[@a_literal_brick]

That was great. Anyway, notice how each trombone player holds it a different way. They all hold it different than I do.

[@PatrickPGriego]

Wow. Just wow.

[@noodles3605]

is the guy on midle right from canadian brass band

[@SleepoBeepo]

Great stuff as usual! Nice beat and great solos from everyone(Achilles killed it!).

[@somecomposingfudsa]

You got to play with a member of the Canadian Brass?! You're so lucky! How did you meet him?

[@lazarialeggett9163]

I wish I can play like this

[@miaProDuctShins]

Guy in the black suit killin it

[@esfunkytown9926]

As always you put it amazing videos! Gotta love the low brass!!!!

[@ExplodedBrownie]

Wow that was literally insane! Crazy good job!

[@komodrake]

Awesome video man, worth the wait!!!

[@joshuacurtis5523]

Holy freaking cow this is absolutely insane can't even comprehend the level of skill that this takes. It's amazing. And beautiful. And so woefully hard to attain 😂. At the same time it give me something to shoot for and reminds me that I can always get better, which is mostly why I watch your videos, thanks for the inspiration that you are and the creativity that you help to drive forward in my profession as a musician! Side note, Ik you said that you will be doing Jr. ITF next year, I'm going to be a senior trombonist this coming school year and I was wondering how to get accepted/apply to participate.

[@joshuacurtis5523]

*progression not profession, at least not yet anyways

[@josiahanderson9774]

That was awesome

[@ryanpratt850]

This was amazing!!

[@peternieuwkamp1572]

[@RickCosmo]

[@DPK17]

Such a cool back story! Love this!

[@skinnymon123]

[@billroeder3855]

As we say in the military, HUA! Do more collaborations like this!

[@sardinremi3367]

Just amazing !!!

[@austin5920]

How come no one's mentioning Carol at all?

[@1totallyrandomperson]

honestly, i loved her tone and she was extremely creative, but i feel like people arent mentioning her because she is just getting outshone by some of the other people in this

[@austin5920]

Yeah, Achilles knew what he was doin'

[@thienhuynh1559]

Is there a solo sheet I can use for this? I really wanna solo on this

[@marcosanti706]

AMAZING!!!

[@kevinrobinson8649]

Wau. Me encanta😍😆🤘

[@thedarklord8674]

this sounds really good :')

[@Falp01]

muito massa ♫♪

[@EmmaKnickerbocker]

Like it? I loved it!!!

[@Tonyramostrombone]

muito massa!!

[@daniellacerda663]

I am a portuguese trombonist. Good work dude.

[@jerometreadwell2211]

Do you have any upcoming shows in Minnesota

[@scrpin1]

Отлично получилось! 😃

[@zake64]

This is so awesome. CBill, what model/brand trombone do you use for your higher ranges? I'm currently using a Yamaha YSL-882GO if I remember correctly. I'm going into my senior year of high school...do you recommend an alto trombone?

[@classicaltrombone]

My best range is on the big Bach 42... you can get a decent high range on any trombone, it will just sound different! Bach 42- open but hard to slot. King 2B- direct and easier to slot. Alto (Conn 36H)- kind of open/kind of direct, very easy to slot, simply due to the overtones not being so close together yet. When I give advice about this stuff, it's a lot like looking up medical advice. Consult your nearest brass technician :p

[@devinmeder3361]

hey Chris do you have an opinion in these new plastic trombones. I'm thinking about getting one

[@ThaGuyWithPie]

Is Carol related to jazz artist Jeff Jarvis by any chance?

[@sargentbaco9182]

Thank god trombones aren’t stereotypically cocky. Because they could easily call themselves the greatest instrument and it’d be hard to disprove. Trombone is capable of sooo much. This is coming from a trumpet player mind you.

[@Grayham4]

You met Achilles?!

[@siraxel5800]

Was Wycliffe at the trombone convention ?

[@EllieAbbott512]

Ya

[@benecke13]

you should play 'on broadway' :D

[@Firefly1026]

Chris, I have a question, do you ever require permission from the songs original copyright holders? Because my school band wants to play a song and I'm wondering if I nee to get permission from the copyright holder

[@ninjantman6510]

I just got Tom "bones" Malone's nickname

[@ninjantman6510]

If you guys didn't get it Tom bone as in trombone

[@derfboz]

Wow. That's very perceptive of you. :p ;)

[@Godooable]

Achilles trying to play jazz licks is hilarious :)

[@dariusromer6860]

if only i can be half as good

[@realraven2000]

some tight harmonies sections would have been nice. :)

[@devinpohl5532]

Although I *TOTALLY* agree, these people are very busy and really have time only to improvise. I was thinking something like... /watch?v=X3eMHrvTRmE

[@realraven2000]

+Devin Pohl unfortunately I can't open this link from my mobile phone (vacation not near my pc) but a powerful harmonied brass section is always a lovely thing.

[@devinpohl5532]

Realraven2000 Boooo, mobile.. Do a quick search for Electrocado - Plinky Plonk Slynk Remix. There's a section roughly in the middle where the bass cuts out and... that's what I was thinking. Either that or a riff. EDIT: Okay, so it's not the middle. 3:25.

[@mfalls8422]

Hey Chris, what program do you use to loop your songs?

[@lazarialeggett9163]

I'm play a trombone

[@benjaminnewcomb6811]

Wow I'm early!

[@kateporter4312]

"18 seconds ago"

[@davidlawrence1891]

Who Thinks Carol Jarvis and Christopher Bill should get married.... Just think of the awesome Tromboning!!!!

[@classicaltrombone]

**raises hand**

[@davidlawrence1891]

+Christopher Bill does this mean you guys are dating!?!?!?!?!?!?! OH DANG!!!!!!!! I hope it SLIDES well! XD

[@classicaltrombone]

David Lawrence It does not :p

[@davidlawrence1891]

Christopher Bill aww man! You could do it! I believe in you!!!!

[@pugwithahat5684]

Lol weird conversation 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol #Weird David you are weird
