I love you too

[@bassbone52]

Thanks Chester!

[@komcclennon]

Aww, you too

[@georgepether4077]

I know now why I love this instrument so much...A beautiful melody played so well in dedication to the wonderful people of Japan who handle themselves with so much courage and calmness in tragedy.

[@1banjrpkr]

I'm SO proud that Trombone players rose up and embraced all of you that suffered so badly thru the storm; with a song for you. Our hearts are still with you all!!!

[@JohnBone727]

2:09 leaves tears in my eyes...

[@alipfreedom]

omg! i love the sound of bass trombones

[@hanger4409]

Thank you so much from Japan!

[@LowBrassGuy22]

One of the most gorgeous arrangements of this I have ever heard!!! The Tenors are so mellow when they need to be, and bright and brassy when they need to! It's soooo beautiful! The bass trombones have a beautiful deep dark sound! As a bass trombonist, I know that hitting those low notes (esp pedal tones) deep mellow sound is crucial! Absolutely gorgeous! :D

[@JohnBone727]

I take that back, the whole song does.

[@syeritomona8838]

[@wwgg60]

Very sweet.

[@Kid99Cool]

Amazing

[@raymondfallon7429]

Nice playing of one of my favorite pieces. At the fortissimo coda you were cranking enough air through those horns to generate electricity to the entire Mid-West for two days. Well done.

[@ohboyd42]

This is beautifully performed

[@usugi7484]

fantasistic! Bravooo!!!

[@johngilbert6988]

Wow! Wonderful piece and great playing. Shall use with my students.

[@rodneycluff1348]

Good Form... Good Form

[@TheRealEarthquakeJake]

Excellent job!

[@rodneycluff1348]

Beautiful song I had to look it up What is the song for Japan about? The "A Song for Japan" project was started by Japanese trombone players living outside Japan in collaboration with a group which has deep connections to Japan and includes Japanese members. It is in remembrance of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan on March 11, 2011

[@queenzhou2979]

If you play it again. Just take it slowly. Reduce the tempo a little bit. And it will result to a emotionally piece ❤❤❤❤

[@BernhardMichaelPlos]

great playing!

[@AhbaYah5]

Absolutely amazing. If only I could hear it from an all French Horn ensemble

[@tramoldovatrandafir]

[@jameskihiu1078]

Is that Brian Hecht?

[@MarkPearson1]

Fantastic. Hi Guys, can you tell me where we can get the arrangement ?

[@DaveCannon55]

Awesome guys. Where was this performed?

[@miqueiasaraujo8413]

the same but at 4:07, bass trombones

[@JordanCarterTrombone]

Hey is that Doug Elliott in there? Not to overshadow the rest...I just use one of his mouthpieces.

[@sjhudson8]

It's ok. You guys will never come close to the precision of the Japan XO Trombone Quartet.

[@sjhudson8]

And pay a little more attention to tuning. 2 of you are off to the point of embarrassment.
