Young Jazz Ensemble - Grade 3
From The Jungle Book, this timeless classic appeared in the original movie as well as the latest blockbuster hit. With a 2-beat swing style and well-known melody, this one is impossible not to like. This carefully crafted arrangement requires no solos, but features every section of the band - trombones first, followed by the saxes, and finally trumpets.

Does anybody else think that this is the best arrangement of Bare Necessities for jazz ensemble? Because I think it is one of the best.

[@pitchingwedge7546]

Hannah the Musician it's arranged by the composer of Caravan so of course it is

[@NMusicYT]

And Chanchanita of course ;)

[@matthewpearce7641]

I’m playing this in my jazz band group, I was happy I found this. I’m trombone 4, even though I play bass trombone. My favorite part is measure 97 to 115

Me too.. I play 4th trombone on a regular one. I originally play tuba so it’s pretty easy for me to play low notes on the regular trombone

[@bot-lb7qv]

As a tenor on fourth part I love this part ot I want to play over and over again

[@venturi2_085]

This was the last jazz piece I played in my high school career, after only being jazz band for one year this song Brings back lots of happy memories. I’m sad I won’t ever be able to go back, but am reminded of the good times through this wonderful song

[@michaelfauber6418]

Best jazz band song ive played so far. Great for talented junior high jazz bands.

[@joshuamiller2632]

I really want our jazz band to play this! I love this song!

[@ethanxu905]

I am playing it in band right now. I'm in 6th grade, and on tenor

[@zackgopie5028]

I am playing this

[@paigemcara]

It’s so much fun to play and our jazz band loves this piece and it’s actually pretty easy for me (clarinet playing trumpet one)

[@simplylexieee5063]

i am playing this!! i play clarinet!

[@archerstown]

This is an amazing channel to listen to when I study. Really great music and so much work put into the different grades. I also listen to the marching band channel. (I play trumpet and tuba)

[@shealinbanta4169]

My high school jazz band is playing this on our concert

[@elizamora2305]

Your channel should get more attention than it already does.

[@MickeyX2M]

Pretty sure its not an actual person its just a bot that uploads the music from jwpepper

[@reid-pn6cc]

best song to play on bass trombone or the baby blues but still one of the best songs

[@ambercampbell6325]

I sang this all the time

[@skyrose2890]

I'm playing this for band

[@jasobres]

So _that's_ why a bear can rest at ease.

[@wy935]

Our jazz band is playing the one arranged by Sammy nestico and I'm sad cause this one is better

[@snickpickle]

Sammy Nestico was from a different era, hence the difference. Nestico could possibly be considered more of a "classic jazz" guy, as after all, his heyday was some 60 or so years ago. I do like the bright, uncluttered arrangement done here -- bravo, John Wasson! Much respect and admiration from me!

[@adamcollester2655]

Without edit, I believe the drum solo is way to slow for a piece like this. Honestly it should be half note = 110.

[@tylerbarnestb]

I think it needs less unison parts

[@noahbromberg3675]

I agree, especially in the saxes

[@snickpickle]

Considering this is probably for a school group, I think it's a good idea. And it's uncluttered this way, so there's that.

[@mrdonut1533]

I feel like the wood block shouldn't be there. It makes it sound of time.

[@mrdonut1533]

Because it's on the and

[@verfuncht]

No it isn't

[@RikardPeterson]

I really like the wood block.

[@paigemcara]

I think it sounds lighter
