"Torque" Alan Baylock Jazz Orchestra

[@markjohnson3413]

That's the nicest sound I've ever heard from a bass bone

[@Elpro-uf9by]

Mark Johnson look up fly or die bass trombone

@Nathan Tony wow that looks so real, totally like how actual human beings talk!

[@BraxtonKoons]

Listen to George roberts, some actually good bass bone

[@wadeparton7195]

Psh. Nah. Look up Ben Van Djik. What a guy. He’s just really good

[@xthatghomiex2939]

Alan Baylock is a really cool dude. He directs the One O'Clock at my school, UNT. Every time I've gotten to talk to him after a performance, he's been really gracious and appreciative of the people coming to see the band.

[@CasaVoid]

Incredible. I can't decide if it makes me happy or sad that the tightest big band performances these days are mixed student/faculty groups playing recitals on a saturday morning at universities I've never heard of.

[@lixzium1234]

Its airmen of note in strange clothing

[@tpte]

Is this the Airmen of Note on laundry day?

[@ramoroso2]

It’s incredibly challenging for bass bone but it’s super fun

[@sheaphaneuf1342]

Blend from 2nd trumpet and sax line after the intro is crazy good

[@7WetDawg3]

Looks the Airmen of Note trumpet section.

[@jrrivc]

i think the majority of the band is air men of note

[@knoxpoulson14]

oh my gosh the intro gets me so good

[@AngelOrtiz-zy3bm]

Lead trumpet is a beast

[@sgreatwood]

Brian MacDonald is a beast. Yes.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Brian MacDonald plays lead trumpet in the US Air Force Airmen of Note, and was formerly with Maynard’s band. Super strong and big sound- very efficient, and he’s surgically accurate (like at 100%) Over my 20 years living in DC and hearing him numerous times, I have never heard him miss anything nor play anything that wasn’t in great taste for the piece! Genuinely nice and humble guy too, like all the truly greats are!

[@jazzman0824]

Old thread, I know. But I've played in a trumpet section a few times with Tim Leahey (retired after 20+ withS of N). Couple months ago Tim told me he vividly remembers the day he heard Brian miss a note (once). Brian was furious over it, and Tim couldn't believe the glass had finally been shattered. So, your description of him playing with "surgical precision" is spot on. I've talked with Brian several times in person--super nice guy, and as a lead trumpet he is definitely one of my heroes and role models. Maybe even above Wayne Bergeron--I can't decide. Brian is too humble to ever accept that comparison though.

[@stevewaters449]

Having seen the bass bone part 😱... but Mark J is right, great sound👏👏👏

[@notaweirdguybuh]

Wow. Great sound.

I'll have to agree with Buddy Rich. A clown standing in front of a big band is useless.

[@schloob]

fantastic band but you have like no stage presence

[@deadheadok14]

baby wipe i got annoyed by the fact that not all the horns had their bells at the same angle

[@stevewaters449]

Close yer eyes then! Just listen to this fabulous performance!

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Nah - they’re just a bunch of Uber-pros playing the crap out of this tune.
