I've been attending these concerts for almost 20 years now, and this is the first time I've ever seen the 1 o'clock receive a standing ovation after the 1st set. Very much deserved, too.

[@marvingoodman7381]

THE BEST COLLEGE JAZZ BAND EVER!!! Been listening to them since back in the 50s when "The North Texas State College Jazz Band" played at the High School Stage Band Contest in Brownwood, TX.... Guess that makes me an old codger BUT a happy one just being able to see and hear this awesome band whenever I get the urge for some top-notch jazz....

[@raymondfallon7429]

Synth player's in another, parallel universe, and I mean that in an extraordinarily good way. The band rocks.

[@EvanJH02]

He’s really cool. His name is Drew Zaremba and he’s now the professor of jazz arrangement at the university of northern Colorado. He’s written some pretty stellar charts himself.

[@xperttheif8613]

8:37 was the coolest lick I've ever heard.

[@tigernguyen2362]

Xpert Theif you should check out Leo P if you’re into some nasty bari licks 😊

[@billkirchner6738]

The arrangement was written by Thad Jones. It was originally recorded by Jimmy Smith on his PORTUGUESE SOUL album, accompanied by an uncredited Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra.

[@yonestar1167]

Surely I can’t be the only one frothing over that awesome descending arp lick from tenor two at 2:30 😍

[@cldavis33]

Nice lick, but the second tenor at 2:57 - talk about an outstanding descending line, melodic, and even lowered his volume with the descent!! Awesomeness.

[@Thebest-kh6th]

yes! I replayed that like three times. I need to transcribe these licks.

[@c.h_sax]

Wtf drew Zaremba (keyboard + 1st alto) is going HAM on those keys 🤯

[@jerrymcgeorge4117]

These guys make an old UNT grad ('78) proud!

[@alexmacarthur5136]

Gerald McGeorge, what a cool name.

[@Jbm0230]

How do the percussionists not pass out? I feel like this goes on forever.

[@raoshridhar90]

I'm surprised about that myself. Check out this band's Cherokee - Ray Noble. Insane!

[@hugoescobedo2723]

Awesome battle between the tenors.

[@jerrymcgeorge4117]

Jay Saunders was our director Spring '75 when I was in the Two O'Clock

[@clueless3398]

I got to see this group live, at an event for don Shelton I think. it was pretty magical.

[@sdhastings]

JT is an amazing badass

4:42 is the best thing about this video

[@colinaviation]

I always thought it was an inside joke within the band that the audience doesn't know. Can you explain it

[@colinaviation]

ah shit it's the lick I see it now

[@kealanbraden]

Colin it’s not the lick, it’s just a dope 2-5-1 haha

[@raginbakin1430]

@@kealanbraden Oh I thought you were referring to how it was a lick from Jamey Aebersold's "Tootsie" lol

[@davidharrismusician]

Absolutely ridiculous. Fantastic job!

[@annaoggier9340]

the o'oclock lab band rocks! i love it!! the energy is AMAZING!

[@davischongs]

[@alangiles2763]

@@pacrimco All excellent - I enjoyed Josh Kauffman's trumpet solo especially

[@carlosschvartzman8374]

Drew Zaremba is already a wonderful reality of TOP-NOTCH all-around young jazz prodigies!. A fabulous reed player and top class composer/arranger. 🤳 His own big band is simply amazing. Bravo!!!

Do you know who was on bass? Thanks for the solo list!

[@luismantaras6460]

Wow!!!!!!!.....what else is there to say?

[@davesax11]

2 drummers!!!! I think they stole my socks too!!

[@raoshridhar90]

Well, I think there's only one drummer and two percussionists in addition to the drummer. But Connor, Nicholas, and John are some talented dudes!

[@grantkoeller8911]

Maynard Ferguson would be proud of these guys!!!!!

[@dianawolf894]

Portuguese Soul

[@ruskugay]

anyone know the percussion instrument that gets played after 4:08? been searching for it for years

[@Jordan-ll5eq]

Looks like some sort of percussion instrument idk the name for it though.

[@Kiwi_boii]

11:12 hahahahaha😂

[@igoramatuzzi]

amazing! who is the bass player? he goes all around with it elegantly.

[@MichaelJohnMUSlC]

hottest band on the planet! I would make two changes though- give the organist a real B3 and beef up electric guitar sound

[@raoshridhar90]

Yeah, the electric guitar sounded muted. But Drew would LOVE to hear that suggestion.

[@paulmataruga6558]

Oh my..beautiful

[@jaywilkinson2689]

Dreeeeeewwwwwww!!!!!!

[@raoshridhar90]

Is that John Sturino in the lime green shirt as second percussionist?!

[@raoshridhar90]

I guess I know it is John Sturino.

[@nebula02]

I have been looking hard for sheet music for this. Was this arranged or transcribed in house?

[@TylerMire]

This chart was transcribed by Brett McDonald and Thomas Davis around 2009/2010. Jay asked me to tack on an ending, which I took from the end of "Greetings and Salutations" (another Thad Jones' chart) but had to transpose to be in this key. The original version of this ends with a board fade.

[@_Charles_LeClerc_]

The keyist in the beginning also plays alto sax

[@ausalray]

Does anyone know the name of the tenor sax player next Garret Wingfield?

[@teddavies5898]

Brian Horton

[@saxboi6307]

Is garret wingfield back on bari sax?

[@raoshridhar90]

Garrett doesn't even live in Denton any more. Andrew Duncan is on bari sax now. Garrett got his Master's from UNT and that's when he was on bari sax. Unless he's come back to get his doctorate (which I doubt he wants to), he is definitely not going to be in the One O'Clock.

[@katieeatsrocks]

raoshridhar90 this was filmed in 2014?

[@don4476]

These guys are done. Why are they in college?

[@Anomatron]

No, they're never gonna be done, that's why they're so good

[@SteveDew]

TWO bass bones?

[@raoshridhar90]

That's how they roll at UNT!

[@jslevenson101]

Human beings in general are intelligent enough, if given information in a slow, deliberate, consistent, reliable, truthful, factful, based on science, reason and comment sense, logistics information, quality control and empathy to produce the best quality products for the greater good. People can learn life sustaining and emergency and other information, and activities in one week's time compared to other wise unended years of blissful ignorance, contempt, greed, psychological, emotional or spiritual contempt, emptiness, and no end in sight.

[@jslevenson101]

The uncanny thing is all these guys are playing with discipline and the artistic creativity and genius that matches and surpasses an actual hot concert of cannibal Adderley and the jazz greats of the past and present. And North Texas State came up with that program that closely matched that discipline and beyond that creative geniuses have done in the past and or will in the future. Thank you U. North Texas State and all the great music colleges and teachers all over planet Earth that have made this place a better place to be and live. ❤️

Why double the bass bone part? Balance issues maybe?...If anything I'm surprised I don't hear more of them... but there's two :p

Potuguese

[@joshwestbrook2157]

8:17 = Woody Harrelson on trumpet

[@raoshridhar90]

I think Garrett is way better looking than Woody but hey, I'm sure he'd be stoked to hear that!

[@soulet303]

Lol that keyboard player is lucky that his mini "solo" sounded good towards the end. Nonetheless, wonderful job to everyone and all the soloists. I believe the little trombone battle perfectly represents all trombonists: Goofy. Talented, but goofy. And they know how to have some fun.

[@allanbirmantas1695]

Just don't like the sound of electric pianos.
