Bel effort et hommage collectif ! Quant à l'original, je me demande encore comment l'orchestre d'Ellington a atteint une telle perfection à Newport 1956 ! 🎉

Wow! As the fan of original, in my humble opinion this is very very good! They even have dude attempting Paul Gonsalvez’s saxophone part and even if short, very good! Gave me chills to see band mates clapping and cheering him on!

that kids got serious talent

By far, my favorite essentially ellington performance. Incredible, just incredible.

エロいですね。

the tone is so delicious. I take much inspiration from her, and hope to one day play half as good as her <3

Outstanding Kid! He has a great future as a jazz trumpet player! 🎺👍

Wow!

Personally, I find vibrato to sound nicer in this case than tremolo

No charts.

These kids are amazingly talented and gifted

good job guys, Play always to the delight of the listeners, all the best

just so good love it thank you

Out of musical fog comes dew of delight!!

This zapped me back to the 40's , I love it .

Very nice

great to see the new generation kickin it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this! Bravo.

Well that was darn impressive young man. You may be goin to music school, but I say you have a promising career in the United States military. The mission is simple, every day bright n' early at 0500 hours you will sound your fine sounding trumpet to wake up the cadets. Your such a talented young man that when we march onto the battlefield I'm more sure than Truman with the bomb that they'll even let you play the war horns. You, young trumpeter, can sound the horns that sets fear into the hearts of our adversaries, letting them know that we don't back down in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I believe that with your trumpet you can protect this land of stars and stripes. Good on you young man.

A little Dizzy there. Superb. The old man is great. Wonderful. Ex Disney player. More trombone. Use your finger tips kid.

Fantastic band, great job Jacob.

The future of the music is sound because of performances like this! Thank you Julius for your guidance to this wonderful band....Mark Morelli

Wow wow what a racket….. let me know when they play it together

YESSUHHH🔥🔥🔥🔥 the attitude in this tune is just incredible

There's no black people at the Newark academy?

what trumpet is he using?

As everyone seems so bent out of shape let me correct myself….. This the most astounding thing I’ve ever seen. These kids are so unbelievably good they play better than Ellington could have done himself. Why aren’t they recording cds and getting record deals I have no idea. I’m just so overwhelmed with seeing such young people being able to surpass the capabilities of the Ellington band itself…….jazz is sooooo not dead…. Ellington will forever never be the same.

Dang! Got some Cootie Williams going! 🎶🎵👍🏻

Outstanding!

Amazing job guys! Love from instagram ❤️❤️❤️

that's the ticket!

damn bruh that kids chops are difffff

Outstanding.

This is a true classic trumpet feature played with beauty and joy! Congratulations Jacob!

They came to swing.

Thank goodness for Wynton Marsalis!!!

So proud of all of you you were sensational

Sounds great all around! What a band too!!

Even watching at home, it was so obvious from the first few bars that you guys came to swing. Congratulations.

Amazing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Wow wow wow! So much energy, soul, musicianship. Congrats!

Nobody ever that they lost the swing?

Super... it got a swing!!!

Great band, the rhythm section was noteworthy, especially the drum solo.

I feel it’s heavy sang, no air in the voice.
