We're going to do more of these! What songs do you want to hear? Let me know!

[@legoblox01]

Cherry Juice or Groove Merchant

[@DavePollack]

Ohhhh great tunes! (they don't HAVE to be Thad tunes though)

[@legoblox01]

@@DavePollack Then add to that list something from the Maria Schneider Orchestra like My Lament?

[@olavijaroslawstanek856]

Such Sweet Thunder by Duke Ellington!

[@Mooresax1]

Magic Flea

[@brotherkabeer8877]

Can't get enough of the sax soli

[@DavePollack]

Appreciate that!

[@RiotFighterFilms]

This was great! Definitely used it to learn this piece for my university’s jazz ensemble 😬

[@riczi.j]

Being able to play that well on piano, vibes AND drums is quite an achievement. I'm a pianist, and while the vibrafone feels pretty similar and isn't that hard for me to play some basic stuff, the drums are completely different.

[@kennyr1161]

Ryszard Jezierski He probably started as a percussionist knowing vibes and drumset already then started learning piano.

[@adampfannenstiel6287]

You are correct! I started as a percussionist - playing jazz drums and vibes as well as classical percussion! Then picked up piano in college!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Man this incredible! One of my favorite big band charts too. Great playing by everyone.

[@DavePollack]

Thank you!

[@gregbelair4164]

Hey Dave, It would be great if you did a video showing how you put this together. Show us what kind of software you used, what went into mixing it, and getting it to display on the screen like this. Kind of a behind the scenes look at the whole production.

[@DavePollack]

Great idea! I get asked all the time how I make these videos, so I think I'll do it!

[@billy_rayes]

Yes I double that suggestion. Would totally watch it.

[@DavePollack]

Just a heads up- today (April 16th) at 1pm ET the video on how I edit these videos is going live!

[@jameslawrencewirth]

@@DavePollack Dave, I've watched it three or more times, taking notes. I think you're the best, certainly the most detailed so far as I know, thanks!

[@RangeWilson]

Damn, those are some LONG leads! "Take it sax, brb in a thousand notes..." The result was AWESOME!

[@DavePollack]

Hahaha thanks

[@chuckwoehrle1707]

We played this at MN all state last year!! Awesome to hear you play it. I was a sax player so it was cool to hear your cover of the soli on all parts!! Would love to hear you cover Afluencia by Bill Cunliffe (another one of our all state tunes). Great vid!

[@billnyman9219]

Absolutely Great, Congads to all you guys!

[@Filippo-Parisi]

Really amazing!!! A real big band. What a swing

[@BigBeatBigBand]

This is so good.

[@math469u]

Amazing

[@RickySweum]

Really well done! Very swinging

[@mrsandbergmusic]

The rhythm section and tempo are awesome.

[@skaraborg55]

Awesome. The sax part in the beginning was joy to listen to and the guy on the double bass was truly awesome. This is what you get when a bunch skilled musicians work together.

[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much!

[@hyrdra123]

The quality of this is awesome Dave!

[@DavePollack]

Thanks so much!

[@stickyvalve1032]

This is epic

[@10MFAN]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DavePollack]

Thanks bro!

[@saxguytony]

Great choice Dave, one of Thad's best (although they're all great). I was ROFLing at how behind the beat you were on your solo - love it!!! Keep em coming!

[@rainerschnelle1]

I was thinking the same and I was wondering if you really played the solo that laid back or if this was how it came out after the track got synced to the rhythm section tracks.

[@DavePollack]

Oh I definitely wanted to play that far behind the beat!

[@NathanielLapointe]

[@DavePollack]

Well that didn't take long

[@mattcasadei3894]

The guy with the captain america shield was the best change my mind

[@rchlclr]

What a killer bass solo!

[@DavePollack]

Mike is SO good!

[@NachtRecords]

thank you!

[@willbrinkert0032]

Amazing alto solo!! That’s what I’m striving to have my soloing capabilities at 😁

[@DavePollack]

Thanks, I appreciate that! Keep working at it - anyone can get there!

[@langstonhughesii2838]

Great stuff! Waiting for your channel to get the views it deserves.

[@DavePollack]

I appreciate that! Just trying to make great videos.

[@dillonring6372]

🔥🔥

[@jomiar309]

I love these, because the video looks like a small group of highly skilled musicians were cloned multiple times to get the ideal band :P

[@rainerschnelle1]

Sounds and looks great! Please make a video explaining how you did this recording. Did you use a click track? And who did the video editing? I really enjoyed it.

[@DavePollack]

I think I will! Lots of people ask how I make these videos, and it might be easier to make a video explaining. And I did the editing for this.

[@ganglimyeo]

The great Eddie Pollack !

[@theludicrouslime]

I want to do this with my friends, but my tenor’s octave spring snapped. Great playing as usual 👍

[@DavePollack]

Sorry to hear that, but thanks!

[@SaxSpy]

play in one octave or the other 😁🎷

[@DavePollack]

Hah! Honestly I used to practice playing the full range of the horn without using the octave key, so find a way to get it closed and go for it! Embouchure is your friend.

[@theludicrouslime]

Dave Pollack I’ll give it a try

[@alexsimnhoung4191]

If you could play George Stone's "Straight Ahead" that would be great!

[@blackitachi6935]

Very hip! What software did y'all use for recording?

[@DavePollack]

Logic Pro for audio, Final Cut Pro for video

[@carmelonunes9678]

The marimba played the lick

[@colepalensky5620]

@no_meed spotted

[@3A5530NE]

Cole Palensky did I get downbeat yet

[@rayid2003]
