The Last Theme Song, by Steve Wiest from Lab 2011 by the One O'Clock Lab Band

[@northtexasjazz]

@kaseyWtrumpet From Steve Wiest: Hey folks, thanks for all of the kind (and colorful:) comments. I had a blast writing this piece, and I'm so glad you dig it! I based this on what I consider to be the "Golden Era" of TV cop show themes: 1960-1980. Plus, at the end I added some modern grandiose cinematic textures ala Hans Zimmer for good measure! How 'bout that Scott Kruser? WOW! And Dan Foster on lead trumpet? MAN! and the bass bones? Double pedal Dbs...just sayin'

[@BsNoMo]

Steve Wiest is the most dangerous composer/arranger on the planet.

[@matthew.kowardy]

I need to know who the bass trombones are. now.

[@FurySponge]

That guitar player is amazing... Whenever I listen to this stunning chart, I always get shivers down my spine at 2:10 when it enters the crazy guitar solo... This whole tune, this whole band.. they definitely deserve a grammy!

[@ajbfwb]

"Steve Wiest, composer, trombone!!!" Sorry, Steve...couldn't resist :-) When I asked you in the summer of '83 whether or not you'd yet encountered Scott Whitfield, little did I know you'd be One O'Clock section mates within a couple of years....and yes, I think the pedal D-flats may have destroyed my Koss KSC75s.....but as a fellow trombonist, I forgive you, and the Lab 2011 4th and 5th bones....hehehe. Keep entertaining the hell out of all of us!

[@hgcldrable]

That lead trumpet tho

[@scotteckart1401]

If you've read any of the comments, you've probably seen the timestamp 6:47 a little bit. . . .if you're wondering what could that be? --- just prepare yourself to feel ready to save the world

[@Gmoddude86]

I felt the same way. On a good set of cans, those bass bones have a stupid amount of presence from 6:47 on. It is a seriously epic part of the song. A great nod to Hans Zimmer with a little 007/secret agent(ish) flare thrown in. Very very cool. Great composition!

[@bjdcamp]

6:47 My jaw dropped. I've got some good headphones and that was incredible. Super intimidating bass trombone sound. Loved the writing there too, I thought it hinted at James Bond.

[@kaseyWtrumpet]

This chart is a beast. Innovative, new, up-to-date. It's something that non-jazz fans can admire.

[@marcusflippen27]

6:48 sounds like the world is reaching a revolutionary point

[@northtexasjazz]

@Gmoddude86: Thanks man! You have nailed my influences perfectly on this piece, especially in that spot. Hans Zimmer is my BOY! I love his writing, and especially his work on "Inception". Phil Bulla (our recording Guru) and I had to "A and B" my piece and "The Dream is Collapsing" by Hans many times until we got the sound we wanted. Epic indeed! Sean Casey and Jon Gauer are the great bass trombonists here. I am spoiled indeed :)

[@jazzfisher]

What a super group...and so many years!!

[@zappndusta]

This is one of the best charts i've ever heard! I love the Hans Zimmer part in the end - at first i thought i listen to "Inception"!!!

[@BsNoMo]

My god...this chart is giving me goose bumps...

[@clix089]

so awesome. steve's always been a favorite.

[@aqwaddict937]

Imagine being in the same room as them at 6:47

[@marcusflippen27]

poop quack I would love my life lol

[@dfjazzzzz]

It was amazing, not quite as much as your account name though. ;)

[@ellis12241]

@northtexasjazz Love all the stuff from the lab bands! Hoping to make one for 2013!

[@miraclemeaux674]

WOW! This is SPECTACULAR!

[@newtnoho7759]

I like how the guitar players' bald pate turns different colors during his solo - at one point nearly approximating the lovely hue of his candy apple red instrument. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

[@ferreirajr72]

Fantastic!!!!!!!

[@TheRealJeromeSantos]

My high school jazz band played this and i was a little jealous I never got to play it with them.

[@shagbolt1]

Great, great stuff can't wait for the CD

[@MatthewRectenwald]

Oh. My, GOD. EPIC!

[@HarryLimePresents]

Amazing.

[@FukitsJon]

Listening to Dan Foster play gives me shivers every time!!!! This song is beyond amazing!

[@JaredRemstedtVids]

thanks

[@sleughbyron]

where would we be without UNT?

[@frintong]

This is so freaking epic.

[@northtexasjazz]

You can ask him via his website. I can't post the link in a comment. Search for dan foster trumpet and you'll find it.

[@johnnytoulouse]

epic, simply epic

[@HerrFoobert]

Go get it, Dustin!

[@timtereshchuk7217]

pure badassery

[@stuartdryer4089]

Makes me want to go chase bad guys in a fast car in a big city. And then bonking my hot secretary.

[@ajbfwb]

5:24....4th bone groove face.....hehehehe

[@agoldenjazz]

Sean Casey's face at 5:23 baha!!!

[@octavoresidente]

genialllllllllllllllllllll ....!!!!!!!

[@Soulpizza1]

the end reminds me of inception

[@kylegordonmusic]

6:47 Inception- "bwaaaaa" :D

[@northtexasjazz]

@Newt Noho: You're pretty colorful yourself! :) That great guitarist is Scott Kruser. Look for him on Facebook and follow his career, it is going to be stellar! - Steve Wiest

[@northtexasjazz]

@MuMuCow8 He sure can! His name is Dan Foster.

[@Cvtorchia]

Does anyone know what type of alto that is with the underslung octave? It looks like a new Super 20, but that is impossiblee

[@QauntumCellist]

Hey, @northtexasjazz, is there any way you can put these charts on iTunes so I can give you my money easier!!! Hahaha! Seriously though!

[@doctormac3156]

Yeah, they're good.

[@theinfinityskull3619]

Wait, hang on a sec, is that the bari player playing my sax. I have a horn exactly like it! WTF!

[@Bzzzcut]

@northtexasjazz do you know what trumpet the lead trumpet player plays?

[@northtexasjazz]

His name is Dustin Mollick.

[@MrJazzSaxophonist]

6:44 and on I could see this as being part of a James Bond Movie

[@stuartdryer1352]

Shades of Lalo Shifrin. Awesome.

[@MuMuCow8]

that lead trumpet player can play!!!

[@paradiddlepedro]

Just watched Steve Wiest conduct at TMEA. He has got to be the coolest guy iv ever almost met ha! Everyone needs to see him conduct his groups.

[@northtexasjazz]

@Jordanx67 I think you out a word.

[@JulianJayme]

Guitar player is using a G&L. :D.

[@JaredRemstedtVids]

do you happen to know the name of the bari sax player?

[@randomclam898889]

@CollinPlaysBass Maybe the ONLY slide in the history of jazz 0_0

[@northtexasjazz]

It's a Yanagisawa.

[@ryancolvin2962]

6:47 Low key sounds like the Incredibles

[@PrinceZirconium]

my high school's performing this Saturday.

[@jeffersongrigg893]

I feel like Louis Cole took a little bit of inspiration from this
