Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band at Disneyland Part 6 - The Jazz Police

[@EstTheSword]

Legend has it that when Eric goes beyond 90° on his sax he ascends.

[@morgs5255]

holy crap that alto solo is good

[@ShawnBascom]

heck yeah it is

[@nickhanslip1829]

Eric is one of the best alto sax players of this era

[@JamesMayfield-i8j]

Sal at 5:45: "Shit, did I leave the stove on?"

[@frogsorceror7788]

lol

[@basicallyalandershowitz]

Eric marienthal is on the short list of players you almost have to watch play to really understand what's going on. He uses so many alternate fingerings and awkward trills and funky extended technique that it's just impossible to really get the full experience without the video.

[@owlsplantshevock]

last year eric played with our highschool band and it was a phenomenal performance

[@basicallyalandershowitz]

The level of detail in the articulations alone on he's 16th note runs is almost inhuman. I'm reading a transcription of it but I don't think I'll ever get those runs quite like he does.

[@isaiahd9947]

Hey do you still have the transcription?

[@basicallyalandershowitz]

@@isaiahd9947 if you look it up you should be able to find one on KZbin.

[@thegingez]

Single handedly the best saxophone solo I've ever heard

[@d4rk1ze95]

*John Coltrane would like to know your location*

[@TheSaxAppeal]

I just noticed the drummer used musical quotes from Caravan. That is AWESOME

[@saoirse_s1]

he (bernie dresel) actually recorded the drums for the final scene in whiplash

[@michaelberg2180]

I was in the audience that night; GREAT SHOW!!! Dan Savant and I used to play in the same band "back in the day". He introduced my son, a sax player, to Eric Marienthal who agreed to give him lessons when not on tour.

[@bransonsharp2488]

Anytime I just need a killer sax solo I come back to this 😂 what a legend

[@jonathanmarks4835]

Those are some brave dancers.

[@Radjammin]

Probably paid dancers, it is Disney world.

[@andrewpontepp21]

Better solo here than on the original recording!!

[@janettucker1235]

You'll love this kzbin.info/www/bejne/baLXmn2cls-egrc

[@angiediaz5390]

True

[@AlphTime]

That's a stretch, but it's still really good

[@gamersden30]

Not quite

[@alejandrosantana738]

Brian Scanlon: Pardon me, but what the fuck?

[@sumwitegurnm6558]

Yall are sleeping on the percussion solo, its playing in the back of my mind 24/7!!

[@kirushalanski1017]

That bari sax, though!

[@williamgaines5255]

+Kirusha Lanski I've played that part and its a fu**ing b*tch haha

[@willhestpt]

Thicc boi

[@allenhurt02]

Nice and P H A T

[@TheJackaready]

That alto solo!!!!

[@williamgaines5255]

+Jack Ready altissimo/harmonics are the one thing on sax that I've never been able to get right, but I always wished I could

[@bobthathead3]

that sax solo is grotesque, INSANE. I cannot get over it!! had to rewind twice

[@MrJazzSaxophonist]

It's so awesome to see Sal so into Eric's solo

[@smooooth_]

Before they started playing I noticed the bass player practicing his fingerings Awesome

[@Grousicle]

Astronautical Films Probably because he'd just been playing that upright for a bunch of tunes, probably just getting his electric muscle memory set.

[@arweenietortellini6134]

Marienthal was the guy that got me to really start working on my altissimo. I wish I had half the skill he has on that solo!

[@radiokid2]

Love it!...sounds like music from a 1960s British spy movie. Fun stuff.

[@andrewnelsondrumcovers1787]

As a fan of the Brian Setzer Orchestra I really appreciate great big band jazz and swing. This band is incredible and of course Bernie is the perfect drummer for this.

[@elijahvaldivia3729]

THE BARII SOUNDS SO GOOD

[@hungrydrummerjoey3440]

Everything about this performance is total perfection... The energy and talent radiating through the entire band from Eric's solo all the way to Bernie's percussion break with a hint of Ringo at the end! Can't stop watching this. Musicians of the highest caliber right here! 👌

[@rcbennett6592]

Eric Marienthal steals the show! I've been a fan of his since Corea's Elektric Band.

[@nelly6016]

I love the people just slow dancing while the drummer is just DESTROYING the kit😭

[@matejfele9971]

I'm a guitarist and Eric is my idol.

[@ThaMac33]

i can remember playing this at disney as senior in my jazz band and as i sit and watch i wish could take some of those chops Bernie used back. Nice 🤌🏾

[@dougskinner4715]

The musicianship here is as good as it gets ...what a treat to hear these guys play.

[@muso2491]

+Doug Skinner amen to that. Incredible to watch/listen to

[@ricaard]

Like the little nod to the Beatles drum solo..."and, in the end... the love you give..."

[@tutorialesnaynay593]

3:01 YEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷

[@raulrivera9096]

I'm working on getting technical solos good lol right now I'm just playing simple rythms

[@MartyNemko1]

This is the best band and best arrangements you will ever hear.

[@soso-zz9qf]

This is an awesome piece!!! I played this with my Grade 8 stage band (I was tuba #1)

[@ChannelMaster720]

THIS BAND IS OUT OF SIGHT. THEY GOT THE TEMPO, BEAT, RIGHT INSTRUMENTS (and the right people playing them!) THE DRUMS ARE FABULOUS. THE "THE JAZZ POLICE", JUST HAD ME UP AND DANCING IN MY HOUSE. I NEVER COULD STAY STILL TO MUSIC LIKE THIS! IS THIS GROUP STILL PLAYING TOGETHER? W O W!! SYLVIA - FL- 03/29/2019

[@coryspang7548]

Our marching band used this in our 4th movement for our most recent show. It was really good

[@JoshGarsideMeyers]

Did anyone else catch that the drummer quoted Ringo's solo from "The End"?

[@kevinbeninger5728]

Funny thing, I had to check the replies to see if I was the first to notice. :-)

[@rcbennett6592]

I think most of us probably noticed, it's such an iconic drum solo.

[@hyalinamusic18]

Josh Garside-Meyers One of the best Drum solos out there!

[@ВикторРанский-р5д]

Super jazz band!!!Sax alto very beautiful!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Dana_Danarosana]

So amazing... the group... Gordon!! Gordon Goodwin is also an amazing tenor sax player... search "Space Available - Bill Watrous" to see him crush a tenor solo back in the 80's. I couldn't help noticing the comments about the dancers below. I've played trombone in the Big Time Jazz Orchestra for 25+ years and we have a saying: If we're making music and people are enjoying it, who cares if they're dancing... an audience is an audience!

[@roosterslime9430]

*Solos:* Alto Sax: Eric Marienthal (3:01) Percussion: Brad Dutz (4:12) Drums: Bernie Dresel (4:12)

[@CurtisAmusements]

Just saw GG & TBFB live at Royce Hall. Still smoldering... Crank it up and strap in at 1:10. These guys set the standard. .

[@landondyches9528]

Nice Ringo quote from the drummer!!

[@jaspersharpe8717]

performed this for a school concert… easiest the funnest piece to play so far on bari. (Minus solos)

[@柴漬-z6g]

とても素晴らしいです！🙌かっこいい

[@XxBlackAngelHeartxX]

I love this song! Gotta love the sax solo.

[@collinthomas7901]

Holy hell that alto solo was amazing

[@whonelly1220]

Loved playing this song in high school, such a fun song and these are the absolute best guys to play it

[@charlesgrey5838]

Wow, that is one sick saxophone solo!!!

[@CristianVasquez_]

They danced to the drum solo 😂

[@Jerbob1]

What a fine band! Love the driving power and precision of these incredible musicians. Hats off to the arranger(s), too! Reminds me of Johnny Keating, Maynard Ferguson, Kenton's Contemporary Concepts band. What a delight. Thanks very much for posting this!

[@cameronplaystrumpet6777]

Jerbob1 That's not an arrangement... That's the original

[@Middleageboom]

This is truly amazing im in love with this solo

[@Stonkzy]

It’s probably a coincidence but the part of the drum solo at 5:44 reminds me of Ringo’s drum solo from the Beatles’ The End

[@hyalinamusic18]

Sad the Guitar solo wasn't included, but at least we got a solo from the rhythm section!

[@AlphTime]

You're all here for 3:01

[@tedmackenzie5728]

Great pocket Sam! Tasty and clean!

[@lomoman119]

[@janettucker1235]

[@BobMacguffin]

[@cjchidlow8580]

[@loganfields5512]

[@WillTheBassPlayer]

[@andrewyanez5285]

[@ethanmaruyama1149]

Drummer really quoted caravan like that

[@Jazz3180]

Awesome but can't believe the lead trumpet bailed on the last note. Super B wimp!!!

[@mhenrikse]
