Excellent we're playing this in our community band great song

[@landonfowler3991]

We played this in my middle school jazz band a few years back and I still almost get emotional listening to it, just because of the memories I made with the people I played this with

[@adamcollester2655]

Just got this piece in jazz band; although I'm the auxiliary player, I still think this is the catchiest piece we've ever played

[@NoodleBoxGaming]

[@ats_the_best7755]

[@milespetersen569]

This is groovy! The drums are fun to play, interesting use of brushes to give it a little lighter sound yet still adding a lot

[@linusbates3485]

how is there not a trombone solo in this song?!?!?!

[@moondogs384]

Linus Bates ik when we played it there were 4 trombone solos

[@aidan4473]

We played the trombone melody at the start as a trombone feature

[@ryanhull9940]

You can transcribe the tenor solo to trombone and it sounds pretty good

[@jacobmartyn7504]

I just transcribed the trumpet solo to trombone doesn’t seem too hard

[@dyskordia_]

It’s jazz fundamentally so improvise and repeat it again

[@EpicBOSS505RBLX]

[@DiegoGarcia-ue6rt]

I swear this has the same feel as all eyez on me by tupac

[@jonatasdemelo4404]

como consigo essa partitura brother..?

[@miguelalves7423]

uma boa forma de obter essa partitura é adquiri-la através do site oficial da Hal Leonard #não_à_pirataria

[@bradenzahajko7386]

When does trombone shorty come in?? I guess I’ll sub…

[@Bryn_Raschaul]

What software is this?

[@fffbf6r837]

There should be

[@martinmiazga2025]

Wait.. how do you fall on piano???

[@shiftedreality4063]

I know ima comment necromancer but if by the "fall" on the piano you mean at 2:03. Then that's the notation for a glissando which you do on a piano by just chromatically rising or falling pressing every key. What you may be thinking of is a scoop or a low or higher pitch bend notated by a solid line curving up or down as opposed to a squiggly line. You cant scoop on a piano because you can't bend the pitch of the keys on the fly.

[@amord895]

I have one question that I can copy it for orchestra in which I play ?

[@amord895]

+William Cerier ok. but where can I buy it. In Poland, I can not find it.

[@goproman3504]

jwpepper.com, then search this song. It should show up

[@KinBoysIps]

I am the same person as davethedude 64 just on a different account lol

[@owen-ng8oe]

We are playing this in my middle school jazz band I am in 6th grade I am on Euphonium

[@Bloxxar]

Euphonium isn't a jazz band instrument and this would be suprising to see in a middle school band

[@owen-ng8oe]

I know the euphonium is not a usual jazz band instrument but they still let me in. We also have an oboe and flute and clarinet so I am not the only unusual jazz instrument player. Our Middle school jazz band was really good last year and we rocked this song along with some other harder ones like Work Song By Nat Adderley arr. by Erik Morales.

[@Bloxxar]

So do you play the trombone part?

[@bom.6658]

Probably the Baritone sax part.

[@chadcallander]

Robert Miears I doubt it. Probably the trombone because it's bass clef

[@thactis5139]

hold on a minute... "Grade 3"?!?!?!?

[@ItzzNoxygen]

but how Jazz Stuff Is almost Always around this Level

[@jenkinsfamily2229]

I know this is a simpler arrangement for younger players. But man this just has no life! So flat!

[@kidjackson21]

wrong key
