Friday, May 22, 2009 from the LA Jazz Institute program "A Swingin' Affair". Featuring (left to right): Bob Summers, Wayne Bergeron, Willie Murillo, Dan Savant.
@@CouchEconomyTX In the words of my son's late great tuba teacher, Dr Owen Metcalf "Tubas are the best people you'll ever find. You build a music program on your tubas." I've found that to be the case all my life. Yeah, these are some nasty trumpets, but tubas are the great people in music - selfless team players. Keep playing the big horn.
As a trumpet player, I appreciate Gordon's opening remarks to this video! Spent a number of years in the "back row" and LOVED them all! .....and Bergeron is, and always has been "The Beast!"
I've always greatly appreciated Bob Summers' contribution to the Big Phat Band. His sound is totally dark and un-commercial; in stark contrast to the rest of the trumpets. I love his melodic motives, and bebop notes over the crazy high notes and 16th/32nd notes. He's truly a classic guy.
let me tell you, it's a pain in the ass 😭 I'm here trying to absorb some talent through osmosis before my band's performance of this this Wednesday, and those 16th note passages are killing me 😂
Man! I cried because how good they are. T This is my favorite song and I listen to it all the time everyday. Thanks for the inspiration guys to definitely keep playing trumpet!!
Long time listener to Bob Summers. Since he came on Maynard's band around '74. Always one of the coolest Jazz soloists even if he rarely if ever ventures above High C. Takes a committed musician to stick to that which he does best. As many cats who don't have such monstrous upper registers tend to give up the racket. Either that or try to keep up with the screamers and eventually lose their chops. Such as the Great Freddie Hubbard did.
I really liked Wayne’s playing, the dude on the far right and the dude on the far left!!! They both have a great tone, great soloing and controlled upper register without making the trumpet sound like a toy.
Hi, Wayne! I just heard about some health problems you had & that you feel much better now. So relieved! Looking forward to your wonderful playing for many, many years. your fan, John.
This music, and this big band culture is completely foreign to younger generations who have been raised on rock guitar bands and talentless rap groups. They can't understand this music, or even hear it properly. They view this music as something their quaint old grandparents listened to. To Gen X,Y and Millennials, pop music has to be vocal, self-indulged, rebellious, deafening, sexual, vulgar, and anti-social, led by stars who have roots in narcissistic drug-dealing and gun violence. Goodwin's band culture is born of the 1940's dance bands when people had fun, dancing together in large, well-lit dance halls, doing jitterbug and acrobatic steps. Innocent by today's standards, yet extremely entertaining and fun, especially when the audience became part of the entire musical experience. Thank God and Gordon Goodwin for keeping this fantastic American tradition of great music alive in 2021 !!
haha this makes me laugh, i'm in high school and it's great to see the war continues between brass and woodwinds even as adults! Saxophones are kick-A by the way
Sorry. Bad post. Meant to include that these guys are monsters. Each one is a monster. Completely sick. Gotta love this band when you have experienced them "live".

Is nobody gonna talk about how perfect their squeezes were
that's exactly what i was thinking
It’s actually insane
Drxppie Jayy A squeeze is a quick glissando upwards so it sounds like you’re literally squeezing the note
@@adamh951 no one asked
@@AngelOrtiz-zy3bm someone did but they deleted their comment ig
@3:39
"Mr. Bergeron, do I have permission to use the plunger?"
"Sure, but let me smell it first."
AttackTurkey1 3:39
lol what if the got it straight from the bathroom
Pretty sure it's a trombone plunger and thus not wayne's :)
Now these are musicians that still know how to have fun
Underrated comment! :D
I wish i was a trumpet in a big band
Sadly I’m just a tuba in a small high school jazz ensemble

It’s called trumpet players

"I can play higher than you can." "Well, I can play lower than you can!!" LOL
Way fun.
The unison lines are perfectly in tune!!!!
Tighter than my shoelaces when I ride a rollercoaster

more like willie murillo😌
it's amazing how great a song sounds when they're having fun
absolutely smashing comment justin. keep it up.
8:06 and 9:00 the trumpets play those 16th notes so clean!! It's incredible!
That passage is truly insane :-) Insanely good!

Trumpet players, gotta love 'em. I know some pretty high chop guys. These gentlemen look like they are having fun.
I caught Rhapsody in blue in that solo!!!!!!!!
TrueScore 5:42 I thought it was just me
he always does it. I think it was something the section or gordon decided to keep after he did it in the recording.
And the Sweet Home Chicago quote?
its songs like these that remind me why i play this and not anything else :) GOD BLESS THE BACK ROW
I love that the plunger mute just flies in at 3:33.
😂😂😂
Man! I cried because how good they are. T
This is my favorite song and I listen to it all the time everyday. Thanks for the inspiration guys to definitely keep playing trumpet!!
Bob Summers calms them kids down...since the 70'. What a solid musician.
Never tire of this song!🎉

Met most of them attended their first jazz camp. These guys are absolutely at the top of their game all the time
Bobs like: "nope...not going to do those dumb visuals"
4:43 a subtle mouthpiece switch?
He switched to his lead piece XD
J T some mouthpieces help with different things
Kinda like different mutes
Good catch)
Love all these Guys! Gordon has lots of skill in that back row!
I really liked Wayne’s playing, the dude on the far right and the dude on the far left!!! They both have a great tone, great soloing and controlled upper register without making the trumpet sound like a toy.
i play alto sax and and all for it but that trumpet quartet was wickedly awsomeive. 10 stars man **********
8:12 that shake was incredible!

What a bunch of greats!. Each one a 'one-off'. Superb jazz.

"rap bad old music good"
~ every boomer ever
dan looks like hes enjoying it. waynes like "this is too easy"
Haha bob summers starting off his lick with a low note after Wayne’s high note lick
Even if you didn't like it (I just LOVE it) watching them have fun is joyous. Sometimes I'm enjoying it so much I forget just how good they are.
these guys play sooo well together it's insane.
Who would dislike this? This is Fantastic. I've seen them in person and they are just amazing.
seriously cool, n there soo tight. just awesome.
Estos músicos son formidables., puro talento
Absolutely terrific,brilliant solo's.
Wayne take it easy on them 😂

You're welcome
This song is great!!
Willy is awesome!! we played with him last year for a benefit concert! :)
Woo!! Cal High Jazz!!
I am in love with that super crunchy (as Adam Neely would probably put it) chord at the end! :)
Absolutely hilarious!
I hear a lot of Waynes Horn of Puente Solo in his solos in this video. I love it!
How could anyone NOT like this video? It's AwEsOmE!!!
This - was SO MUCH FUN to watch!!! BRAVO MAESTRO’S!!!!!!!!!!
This song was my favorite out of all the songs they played at delta college jazz festival 2009 last night.
watching stuff like this, perticularly Wayne, is so much better after playing with him, there is no experience like it
This is just fantastic - I hope they come to Europe in 2013!
No one can beat wayne in a range battle. Wayne is a boss.
they are having so much fun! this is real music
Wayne is coming to our school to play with us this upcoming high school jazz season! =D
Não me canso de assistir. Muito show essa apresentação!
I saw them last night at the Delta College Jazz Festival! It was great!!
5:40 my man just put a subtle "Rhapsody in Blue" reference in lol
i dont feel it was so subtle but yeah its awesome
SUPER TRUMPETS ! GEILLLLLLLLL !
Saw Wayne bergeron live at JEN 10 it was an honor
Great stuff. Thank you for posting.
7:00 LOL, "I'm not done yet."
Too awesome for words. Bravo!
Willie Murillo is absolutely astounding! All are great though
This is just AMAZING.
They are all freakin good.
@trumpetguy3039 i saw them last week, and he did the same thing with the iPhone saying "Flutes suck" lol wayne knows how to have fun
That they do. Trumpets for life
Who the hell gave this thumbs down?????
The jealous people
Woodwinds
Classical trumpets
Probably the flutes
People who can’t play high
Opening up a new world
I have never seen such happy spirited people :)
Playing this in my hs jazz band on bass trombone and holy hell its fun
Sounds terrific!
haha this makes me laugh, i'm in high school and it's great to see the war continues between brass and woodwinds even as adults!
Saxophones are kick-A by the way
Saxophones are the worst, honey 😂
@trumpetguy3039 He's got the "FLUTES SUCK" sign running on it :-D
Agreed. They have some sick unison parts
they're awesome!
last note = killer
I keep hearing the Ed Edd n Eddy intro everynow and then and it is because of the same key
LOVE the Clifford Brown-- Jordu quote at 5:12
Anyone notice Bob quotes lee Morgan's solo from moanin?
Just wonderful! :-D
GOLD !! 👍👍👍
Wow! Shades of the late 60s and the Tiajuana Brass. So we need some Sergio Mendes here too.
I like it :) Andrew you where rights trumpets are pretty freaking awesome.
Willie on plunger...nice. I got to meet him once
Flutes
amazing
2:53
That fill!!!!
willie had the best stylised tremeolo ive ever heard
I played this is my HS Jazz Band, needless to say, we took first that day in the competition.
wow - unreal ! so good
6:03
Oh my lord the rhapsody in blue quote
I love how gordon kinda pisses off the trumpet section by putting in a flute/ piccolo soli for this tune!
Barri Sax player- No man, I ain't having none of that flutey Tutey mallark!
Best part is at 6:31. Hilarious. Trumpets will always reign supreme over flutes.
great tune , we play it at the college
Sorry. Bad post. Meant to include that these guys are monsters. Each one is a monster. Completely sick. Gotta love this band when you have experienced them "live".
5:31 I don't know any names other than Wayne's but look at the dudes face next to him lmao
Rip I just read the description, name would be Willie.
Im playing this in my jazz band. (I play trumpet)
if they added artouro sandavol it would be the greatest band ever
lol.... Rhapsody in Blue quote? O_o
Красавчики
fuckin 'ell m8 that's a section
I practice along them to get better
payback time for the sax section!
