life like this sure is sweet
It definitely is 🥂
Knowing from experience playing with a conductor that is that into the music is both rewarding for the player and the orchestra. And it fits the feel of the song perfectly.
people really be dissing the director for digging how the students are playing
If he reads these comments, he might keep still in future. Then the comments will be 'Why is that guy at the front just standing there? Is he bored? Doesn't he like the music?'
Haha he's doing what you're supposed to do
I absolutely love this song.. the sax section did awesome!
Big bands never went away, they just got better!
What a sterling ensemble filled with such great solo talent. The UK has a great jazz future ahead!
Thanks for posting!
Life sure is sweet huh
these kids swing pretty hard!!! another great rendition done by students u guys should take a listen to would be jazz band of america 2006 i believe little bit faster tempo too and those kids might be younger not sure. keep jazz alive!!!!
tempo is right on it !
I say just keep on jazzing! 😎
These cats are no joke wow!!!
What a great arrangement. Reminds me of Sammy Nestico' s "Sam's Boogie", very cool.
Your totally right. Thanks for sharing.
The 'fool' is Mark Armstrong, a renowned Jazz professor at the Royal College of Music and amazing trumpeter
1st Trumpet soloist has a big fat sound. Great stuff! Sax section was great too.
I turned 59 today. I am sax player, i guess...but back in 76.i was a drummer in FYJO.. (Scotland)......great memeories and experience.....but i have to say.....why are big bands always on lonely stages...almost symphonic.......instead of up close in your face in a pub?
LOVE this tune, and really like this arrangement. For me, the definitive version still remains the Thad Jones, Mel Lewis & UMO rendition in C#; someone upload that one, please.
This is in the original key.
Thank you! Knew it was something.
Great band - these cats are no joke.
2:54
2:54 Sanford and Son!!!
The little motif used at 2:54...where's it from? I could have sworn it's a TV show theme or something. Any ideas?
Tom Gough Stanford and sons Theme song
Theme to the TV show Sanford and Son starring Red Foxx
no,if he put hits in with saxes it would lose the swing, keeping the accents on 2 and 4 helps the saxes swing better when theirs a soli section like this,if you listen to the original recording by Thad Jones Mel Lewis orchestra you'll find the drummer does the same.
Do these players actually need the sheets or do they know off by heart
Wonderfull
Please no piano fill behind saxes tuttti.
What does proms mean?
A bit late, but it is a British musical event.
Sorry it's me again....why does NYJO not have more stuff out there? CAMRA? Little Mr G Ward on durms.......13 yrs old playing 'Opening Time"......saw the orch live in Perth, Scotland.......watched that little shit setting up his kit...with red plastic brushes... I was never the same again........until Stuart Copeland! As far as I am concerned..this music ...the youth...and yes, pardon mon francais..the bloody talent that has been and is still being nurtered ...it should be playing live weekly at a shopping malls and family pubs all across the nation!! In your face! Bring forth a joyous ....."sorry can't hear you..bands too loud"....sound/noise to the...."those bloody trumpets!" Lord. Love and peace.
Actually, upon JUST NOW going back to watch a live performance by the Thad Jones and Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, I would still have to disagree with you/ The drummer in that group most definitely adds small fills and hits to correspond with the sax soli
I'm not one to talk considering that I wasn't in this group, (however I WILL be playing this song in the all east coast jazz band in april :P) but I can't BELIEVE that the drummer didn't pick up on the sax soli and put in hits in accordance to what the saxes were playing, I just think it would've livened this performance up a little.
All around VERYY VERY VERY good, though
One of my favorite bands/tunes...nice playing all around! Get rid of the guy that's dancing like a fool, it takes away from the performance. :)
I see; good for him. Is he renowned for his dancing skills as well? I guess I'm judging this from my personal point of view where the director is secondary and the talented band and great music is showcased. Did Thad dance around on stage like that? No. He got into the music and moved his body a little, but it was all about the music and the players...not hopping around the stage and drawing attention to himself. There's a great video of this same tune by Thad's band, check it out.
great playing, but the director is very annoying, dancing around
Some hit, some miss... this is a miss.. The sax soli is a dreadful mess. Those trumpet soloists do not qualify.
How did the world-renowned Proms get conned into presenting this bunch?
It's because London lacks a jazz audience/musicians, all we have is Guy Barker.
Keep in mind it is a 'youth' band, it isn't some professional big band.
You are right. My expectations on the "youth" are quite high thanks to a young jazz pianist called "Joey Alexander" but he is a genius.
Gosh I hope you are joking!
