rhythm section deserves a Nobel Prize
You mean a Noble prize, lol
Idk... it's not quite my tempo :P
It deserves a tuneless prize. Blop blop hubba hubba.
I actually got to play with the drummer his name is Luke Berger
binkymagnus the percussionist plays for the army band as of 2019
massive props the the upright player for keeping with that insane tempo
That's Henry "The Real Deal" Beal on bass.
You should give their practice video of this a look. If you think this is wild, they practiced it much faster actually!! Just look up "UNT Cherokee Practice"
It's the 2 of them (bs & dr) working together ! By groovin' like a MF and above all not playing too much or too loud, the drummer leaves room for the bass to lead the band which is so important on a tempo like this.
He definitely got laid after the show.
see also the bassist in this version th-cam.com/video/DUhdlKvAE50/w-d-xo.html
The bass player and drummer are hauling ass that entire song
Well said!
Rest in peace that drummer damn 8 solid minutes of playing that at somewhere around 330 bpm
Nah he's a young buck, he'll be fine :)
Don't forget the bassist jesus christ
I was just thinking my chops are bad after watching him
350bpm sheesh
@@wdonpercussion3179 right!!?? Buddy would be proud!
For anyone wondering, the tempo is approximately 350 bpm.
350 mph :-)
michael antoun ‘tempo do cocaine’
double time swing!
thanks jajajja
the tempo is approximately coffe time
This outstanding drummer was just named the new drummer of the Army Blues.
playing the drums
Jazz ambassadors
Yes Sir.
His snare drum is mint!
I had the joy and honor of being one of Sean’s high school band directors in Warren, Ohio in the mid-90’s. Not only was he the finest student musician of my 35-year career, but I can honestly say he more than equals his trumpet virtuosity as one fine human being! His warm, caring and humble personality, family values and his passion for the Lord as well as for his horn, are the qualities that set him apart from so many of today’s shallow music superstars. BTW, he used “Cherokee “ at 350bpm as a warmup before HS band rehearsals!! LOL
I could do without the "passion for the Lord" crap, but the other stuff is real nice.

5:45 that was one of the smoothest things I’ve ever heard
Agreed!
Sean Jones solo is so cool: from relaxed half time to 'Laura' quote to burning bop, to screaming. What fun.
Glad someone else noticed the “Laura” quote lol
@@dylanmcgaharn5676 timestamp pls?
@@simonlutgens 4:02 He transposes that melody whole steps down
Oh my word......if that bassit hands arent sore....He is totally amazing. I played bass in college and could
not do a tempo like that. INCREDIBLE. GREAT JOB fellas.
That drummer lays it down even at that tempo!!
In the words of Ernest Hemingway, "The drummer did a fine job."
They were going to let a trombonist solo, too, but he said the tempo was too slow for him...
...or her...
There actually was supposed to be a trombone solo, but, the Domino's delivery car broke down on the way...
you could have judt used a valve bone for soloing
only jazz musicians would get this trombone meme LOL, this is so funny!
hehehehe
HELL YEAH THAT'S MY SCHOOL. Can't wait to finally see this band in person.
Expanding on my comment below as one of Sean Jones’ HS band directors - A TRUE STORY - Yes, Sean was actually in marching band! Truth be known, I think he was just “ok” with marching in order to play in the jazz ensemble, where his heart definitely was. We had a fine musical tradition at Warren G. Harding HS and a marching band of around 175. Sean was section leader and featured soloist. I had written a short arrangement for 5 trumpets of Bill Chase’s 70’s jazz-rock hit, GET IT ON, to use as a stadium cheer. None of the 5 trumpeters (my son was one of them) knew the song or had heard of the trumpet-loaded rock band “CHASE”. After we read it down, I glanced back at Sean and noted a satisfied grin and a little head nod. Well, on the second run-through, there was our man, Sean, effortlessly playing the already challenging lead part a full octave higher…flawlessly…the cascades and all! That was Sean just being Sean! So that’s exactly how we played the cheer until he went off to college. He listened many times that week to my vinyl album of CHASE, thrilled to have discovered yet another trumpet wizard he could draw inspiration from. A kid in a candy shop! Even now, when we talk in person, he never fails to bring up how grateful he is for that teaching/learning moment frozen in time. (I never told Sean that I HAD considered writing that part 8va, but I thought, naw, he’ll do it anyway!)🎺😆
For readers who may not be aware, “Chase” was a high-powered horn band formed in 1970 by Bill Chase, former lead trumpet for Maynard Ferguson and Woody Herman. They were propelled by a powerful lead singer and a horn section comprised of Bill and three other talented trumpeters. Their success was tragically cut short when Bill Chase and most of his rhythm section perished in a chartered tour plane crash in 1974. Check out their live GET IT ON performance on TH-cam.
I had the great honor of playing at the First NY Brass Conference and got to speak to him only months before he tragically died. Your student is fantastic .
Would love to hear that one for sure.
I love when conductors jump to cut off. It feeds the audience so much energy.
Watched it, shook my head. Watched it four more times, STILL shaking my head. Wow. I wonder where these musicians are playing post-graduation?
Teaching school, or McDonald's. Your choice. America hates jazz, so no real point to any of this.
@@rkomada88 DEFINITELY a point, but it's likely wasted on you. Jazz may not be the hottest art form around, and New York may no longer be the center of the jazz universe, but there are plenty of people here that appreciate and admire the skill required by the individuals to create such a collective masterpiece. And each time it's performed, it's a different, new little masterpiece. THAT'S jazz. But their blend of technical and creative expertise transcends the genre of this piece, and as a musician still learning, practicing and performing my craft after 40 years, I can both respect and be awed by the difficulty required to perform said piece so magnificently. What instrument do YOU play?
Tyr Morris ..... well to name some, clarinet, saxophone, flute, oboe, trumpet, trombone. Enough for you? And I'm a college professor and teach people how to play jazz. I've trained generations of musicians in 30 years. But, entertainment sales are only about 5% jazz. And for the most part, average American people hate jazz, and will even start a fight with you if it's playing someplace where they can hear it. So, yes, these musicians are awesome. But they are students, and my concern is where will they go for employment once their training is complete? What's the point if one cannot survive? I have been hoping for the last 30 years that things would change, but they haven't, and really are only worse now than ever. Btw I mean no hate to you, these musicians, or anyone. Peace and be well.
@@rkomada88 If you can play jazz at a high level, you can play anything they want for Broadway style shows, jazzy portions of soundtracks, etc. Dance bands are still a thing too. It doesn't have to be stereotypical jazz. Jazz has evolved beyond just swing even if some people (Marsalis) don't recognize it.
Even then, is everyone in this group primarily focussed on jazz? How many of them have a different primary instrument or are non-music majors?
I did jazz as a trumpeter but my primary instrument was the organ. Most of the people in the jazz band weren't even music majors. In fact, I would guess that the vast majority of the band and choir members when I attended University weren't music majors. Of those music majors, most were in the music ed program or had a dual major with music performance and a non-music field.
Karl Rovey....... ok, good points all there. I'll just agree with you. I still think, though, that all arts schools need to be up front and honest about what potential employment exists within the field their students are putting thousands of dollars and countless hours into. I know that mine was not.
5:45 Brother Jones giving a sermon out here. Preach!
Love that"laura"melody quote from the trumpet soloist!!
What a showpiece for the UNT jazz band. One of the many reasons it is considered a premier school of music.
honestly, this the best of best cherokee play ever. Sean Jones and UNT sound so great . awesome
This is a DAMN good take on Cherokee, but Clifford will always be the standard bearer.
@@aaronjohnson8266 he is awesome also. I think seon is better now
are you shitting me with how good this is
Sean you're the GREATEST
I'm HAPPY to know you
You're a WONDERFUL musician
Sean killed it on this concert. So great to hear him live. Fantastic player and great guy. Henry Beal holding it down too!!
The 45 people who voted this marvelous performance down should be utterly ashamed of themselves
Bravo Sean Jones. This is one of the best trumpet solo of cherokee that i ever heard.
Trumpet Masterclass !
As a UNT grad ('78) my mates always make me proud!
North Texas graduate also... I got my masters there in 77... I learn more and progressed faster at North Texas then any of my time at U OF H.
is someone wants to get their playing together North Texas is the best place to go.
I'm also a UNT grad from 2015, nice to e-meet you both ^^
My goodness, the virtuosity of the entire band is mind blowing.
Amazing how clean at such a lightning tempo. Special kudos to the guy on bass.
That was one of he greatest things I have ever heard
no. shouldn’t be possible. i cannot comprehend what i’m watching.
I thought the trumpet section was gonna play Clifford's iconic solo
Bad news though, the GRP Band played that shit to rest with Arturo, Randy, Byron, and Chuck back in 93'.
I thought so too. Would've been hilarious
I thought so too, it would have been beautiful. In currently working that solo, and my God the treasures inside it, just locked away.
So many, my favorite runs come from there. Not to mention he makes Bop so melodic, singable, memberable
like watching supersax but for trumpets....incredible
Sean Jones is outrageous.
Sean Jones Is the best Jazz concert I ever got to witness such a great genuine man hope to see him again soon!!
Just want people to know its the best fast trumpet player I've ever witnessed but I've also seen wayne b, and arturo s they are totally different specturms
the drummer at 5:39 shaking his hand out😂. I feel it man!
The tempo is CRAZY!!! Kudos for the bass and drummer.... WOW!! What an arrangement...
Had the pleasure of playing with the piano player over a summer workshop a few years ago. Best piano player I've ever played with.
2:23 man with the tenor sax at right : " Why do not I play this solo??"
He looks like jschlatt but lost all motivation
@@markymarc6385 LOL
that rhythm section is so good, not just keeping the tempo steady but making sure that it's swinging. i love how bassist is shaping the dynamics... tasty..
Yeeeeooooow! Horns ablazing! Loved it. Charlie Barnett is smiling down on them.

Unreal! These are kids??? I can’t even talk that fast, and I’ve been talking for 45 years! Beautiful!
Rat Noble was an English bandleader (he appears in the Fred Astaire movie "A Damsel in Distress" as "Reggie"). The chord structure for this tune was used for Charlie Parker's "Ko Ko". Parker just wanted to play ""Cherokee" but didn't want to pay the royalties. "Ko Ko" was about 300bpm. Don't know if Parker "invented" playing the tune at hyper speed, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Thats what I call Jazz. Masterpiece. Bravo
Sean the man

Man who the hell is that trumpeter? !!!! just WOW!!!!!

Absolutely incredible
smoking! Eric Pers laying it down on drums...fantastic...
Yes, that drummer is pretty burnin...
Love it! ....Great technical prowess! Musicianship A+++
out of this world musicianship
I see so many people in comment sections of music videos like "Well yeah, that solo was pretty good, but that drummer is next level".
I am that guy on this vid
Good job my brother Sean 🤠
This video seems, to me, to demonstrate an aspect of America's true potential. A uniquely american art form created by melding differences into one common purpose. An America where this could be replicated throughout society would be a wonder to behold. Outstanding, bravo!
Solid rhythm section!
Trumpet player & drummer great...burning tempo!
Just love that bassist
Great arrangement and fantastic performance by all. Charlie Barnett is smiling down.
Well, that was just a good time!
masterpiece
Yeah, Sean!!!!!!!
Sean...bringing the fire! BAMF!!! :-)
ok, all cool with the winds and stuff, amazing, but bro, HAVE YOU HEARD THAT NON STOPPING LIGHTING FAST WALKING BASS THE ENTIRE TIME!? holy guacamoly
Well if that wasn't smoking, I don't know what is...
My mother is
I would not want to have to keep up with Jones, and would not want to follow him. Amazing all around!
I’m a trumpet player and they kicked ass, but that kit player needs an award. Jesus man
I saw Sean Jones playing with the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra..what a gem ,! Cherokee def separates the men from the boys…
That bass player!
wonderful. always.
Amazing to hear these super talented young musicians ♫ I could stay on this channel all day listening...just wonderful ♫
It is a marvellous performance and it is hard to believe this is not some big name band - they would put a lot of the names to shame. You can see in the faces of all of the players they are there to make music not money - they really love what they do (as well as being superb at doing it). Fantastic trumpet section and soloist.
2:30 that little run, oh my GOD makes me jump out of my socks.
Wow, what a performance.
Jus' awesoome! Baylock too!
This music helps me relax when listening to it when I work👍
this is my favorite version of this song
Know this an old video but the soloists all went off! Very tight groove and heck of a performance, could watch this on repeat!
Absolutely amazing. I'm so in love with Bigband jazz.
His trumpet, make me crying 😢.. thank you...
awesome band
Gosh that rhythm section. This is simply amazing
Back in the sixties we used to play a tune with that sort of frenetic tempo. When you had no amplification and were trying to get volume from your instrument . . . well, my fingers and forearms staged a protest. On the other hand that's a perfect tempo for "Cherokee". I love it.
Damn, they're Burning!!! Young man at the drums is incredible. To hold that tempo, and keep it grooving is incredible!!! The whole band is amazing
First Alto's Socks are on point
Just recently had a concert with this guy at Interlochen man, that was a night I can’t forget
Henry Beal You are very insane....
Wowowowoooooooow!!!!!!!!
Bass on fire guys!!!!!!
Good lord. Wish I could burn HALF as fast.
Sensational performance! 😳 ✨🔥🎶🎹🎺❤️👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Bass player’s fingers on fire👌🏻
Now if there still existed touring bands and venues like Woody, Basie, Ellington, Buddy, Thad , Mel , Maynard and
more. The fact that that the trumpets come out front and know their parts is the professional
thing that attracted audiences. Promotion of this genre could make money for the people in the middle, the bookers, managers promo people. Some one person with love of it and the the capital could bring this back. In America, one can sell anything with the right marketing. It is still called
" The Music Business or the Music Industry"
as an upright bass player, respect bro.
I'm a junior in HS and we have a combo jazz group and I have to play this and my friends think it would be a good idea so I'm digging my grave rn.they think it's funny, it's really not. it's very difficult. I can play it, it's just alot of concentration and practice. help me
That was soooooooi Beautiful!!! You go!!!!!
Wow! I am speechless!
i love the faces this piano player makes
Phenomenal players and what a stupendous drummer! Yes, great musicians really DO exist! PAR EXCELLENCE!
I'm a brass player and yeah I was like "damn, that drummer". :)
I was trained as a drummer to read and write it, so I can spot perfection pretty fast! :)
Pretty sad that good musicians like this get shunned by popular culture....these people should be the millionaires. They shouldn't be fighting for pennies.
These musicians don't get shunned by popular culture. They just aren't playing the most popular types of music. You can't fault everyone else for not liking jazz as much as some of us.
Hello :) I hear what you're saying but I don't agree. Popular stuff is what gets shoved in people's face all the time, so of course they're going to like that....and when they hear musicians like this, they're not going to like it, b/c it's pretty different. And w/ classical it's sad b/c most people I talk to aren't even aware of 20th century and modern classical, and how relevant it is to today's society....and how when I expose it to people, they want to hear more. "All that I thought was out there was Mozart, Beehoven, etc". Just saying that ideally, in any other profession, the highly skilled people are the ones that make the $. This largely isn't the case in music.
What makes me sad about pop is that's is a cool genre, but when highly skilled musicians go into it, they can't get a break b/c it seems to be flooded by people who have raw talent but not very much skill. And it seems like the record labels aren't really looking for skill....they're looking for flashy, entertainment stuff.....which is fine if people like that. I try to listen to some popular stuff. I've found some progressive rock bands where the people in them have put in the work and study (like dream theater), so I'll listen to groups like that.
So anyway I guess I fault the industry and the media. Not trying to tell people what to like.
Max Roach is grinning somewhere in the afterlife right now
I’m lovin’ it.
Wow. Will this guy ever stop improving!!!! He's a star who still practices 4 hrs a day!
