Does anybody have access or know where I can find the sheet music for the trumpet solo in the video (2:48). I have access to the printed one but I was wondering if anyone has this one.

[@chloejackson-reynolds418]

Transcribe it yourself. It is improvised so you would have to learn it by ear if you really want to play it.

[@discogoth]

It's improv, your best bet is transcribing by ear like Benjamin recommended above, or improvising with the melody and intervals in mind.

Oh rip. Well at least you guys get to play what's written. Our band director doesn't let us play what's written. We always have to ad-lib our solos.

[@TheRobloxianOfTheWorld]

That's what jazz is all about. You don't just play what's written and go from there. Improvisation plays a HUGE part in every jazz songs. Improvisation is what gives jazz its "feel."

[@eeeaeiou]

Flash Gaming I agree

[@shrillex_1530]

What's the point of lead trumpet if 2nd trumpet gets all the important parts

[@thatoneblueslime1530]

Just the arranger forgetting rhe bari sax is an instrument for half the piece and then giving them a solo to make up for it

[@Megumin69420]

Bro, what? The bari sax is like the prominent sounding instrument in this piece

[@thatoneblueslime1530]

​@@Megumin69420 look at the score as it plays, (typically) is only playing hits and long notes. The first time the bari plays anything remotely interesting is when its playing a soli with the saxes, but, guess what? Bari only plays during 1 or 2 of them. The only particularly intersting part of this arrangement for the bari is the solo. Listen back and look at the bari part on the score. The opening is alto 1.
