DUDE, I'm part canadian I've been playing tropmbone for bout 6 or 7 months and just recently picked up tuba. Finding this band, listening to their music, I think I've found part of me :)
First thing I must say to all these guys discussing about the ""Canadian" or "American" this is an "expanded" version of the Canadian Brass including at least 12 brass members of the Boston Symphony and the New York Philharmonic as invited in their "RED WHITE & BRASS" CD. I played trumpet and piccolo myself for many years, the sound @DvidLnza though it was a woodwind could be actually a piccolo trumpet as Omar Morales has rightly said, a very short phrase though. Finally we can hear a trumpeter playing very high pitch in several places, as in 1:24 , 1:45 , 2:13 , 2:21 , 3:07 and particularly at the end 3:40 he's is not a Canadian Brass member but Jon Faddis, pupil of the great Dizzy Gillespie and now one of the greatest by himself. He is well know for this high playing, we can hear it in a wide range of styles from Jazz or even in disco music like "Winds of Change" (1979) by Alec R. Costandinos.
He did that a while ago. I actually know him personalty, great guy, great friend. The whole band is actually a great group of folks, very genuine and kind.
@DvidLnza Its called Canadian BRASS for woodwinds. No woodwinds. They use mutes and other things that make the brass sound different. The part that sound like clarinet is in fact a trumpet.
This is based upon the JERRY GRAY arrangement that he did for Glenn Miller. He really knew how to swing these things. The original American Patrol, as written, is far more staid than the Miller version or the Canadian Brass version here.
Having played the trombone for over 50 years, 'staid' is not a word I would apply to a good march. "A good march should make a man with a wooden leg want to step out." John Phillip Sousa
@bandgeeklover96 I'm sure you've realized how transformative the Canadian Brass has been to brass quintet literature. Look up all their old recordings as well, and you will find so much to emulate.
A real pity there is no video here. Was amazing to watch at the group while playing. In a such way everyone could have done thejob and we have no confidence at all they really were Canadian Brass. Of course I trust you, but my brother doesn't :-)
but lets not forget to mention that these guys aren't actually form Canada, this recording is from the newer Canadian brass, mainly from the US. but yeah, Canadians and Mexicans are technically American, just as well as anyone from South America.
I was under the impression that this swung version of American Patrol was arranged by a jazz musician during the second world war. Also, amazing horn and trombone.
I actually dont know when this particular recording was made, but I think something like only one of the performers in CB is actually Canadian, or Canadian born. Something like that. Dont feel like doing the research, but thats my sloppy two cents
GamerGuy 1750 Wrong again. The correct instrumentation in the picture is: trombone, flugelhorn, french horn, trumpet, and tuba (left to right). This picture has nothing to do with the actual song, however. This picture is the cover for some other Canadian Brass album (one where they actually use a flugel). Nowhere in this song is a flugelhorn actually used, nor a baritone.
This makes me feel like I'm strolling down the city streets in 1946
Ah, the Canadian Brass are the ultimate in brass ensemble. They are the best of the best!!
Almost everything about this is amazing, but after playing in a swing band for about a year, I can't get over how straight their eighth note feel is.
that is amazing. I love the Canadian Brass
Canadian Brass ROCKS!

Canadian brass are geniuses of arranging
Gotta love those trainers ;) This is literally the only thing that could persuade me to put down the saxophone and learn a brass instrument.
That Tuba solo.
I respect that profile pic.
Love that trombone part :D
Good tribute to Glenn Miller, Canadian Brass
Jon Faddis on the high notes. I bought this album in high school about 25 years ago.
Really? It's Jon Faddis?
Von A bis Z extrem exzellent !
@DvidLnza

they prove why they're the tops
melhor american patrol que ja ouvi the best.........
Very fucking awesome arrangement!!

Sounds like freedom.... MERICA
+MardukFilms so true
You spelt oil wrong
this has a good feeling behind it
amazing
I like the added drums here. Canadian Brass don't usually have percussion.
@DvidLnza Probably a piccolo trumpet
Very good and great, but I don't know who I play in this CD, you can tell me. Thank you. Successes
Hi, does anyone know how to tell me what trumpets they played on this recording or the name of this album. Thank you
Well done.🇺🇲❤️🇨🇦
but lets not forget to mention that these guys aren't actually form Canada, this recording is from the newer Canadian brass, mainly from the US. but yeah, Canadians and Mexicans are technically American, just as well as anyone from South America.
I have a recording of this as played by the Glenn Miler orchestra. Lots of fun.
I was under the impression that this swung version of American Patrol was arranged by a jazz musician during the second world war. Also, amazing horn and trombone.
Glenn Miller. He then turned The St. Louis Blues into a march.
Pretty damn smokin' sounding that's all I can say ;-)
YES
What video are you watching exactly? This is the Canadian BRASS playing American Patrol.
That's why several french say "étatsuniens" for the inhabitants of "Les États-Unis"
Umm isn't this by Glenn Miller? Well at least the jazz arrangement
Yeah meacham's original is honestly kind of boring
I actually dont know when this particular recording was made, but I think something like only one of the performers in CB is actually Canadian, or Canadian born. Something like that. Dont feel like doing the research, but thats my sloppy two cents
I see a flugel horn in that there picture
Well, they /are/ classical musicians primarily...
The 1 guy plays the trombone, the next guy plays the flugelhorn, and the last guy plays tuba?
?? Trombone, baritone, french horn, trumpet, tuba. (left to right)

The Canadian Brass typical arrangement is 2 trumpets (one sometimes piccolo), 1 french horn, 1 trombone, and 1 tuba.
which album is it from?
There's more than five players here.
trumpet71 they preformed this with a brass band
it is not boring :(
Glenn Miller would be proud.
When people say America, they usually mean the USA, though. Good point, though.
Canadian Brass is so good for ony 5 players ehh
or a mut most likley
This isn't Canadian Brass. There are way more than 5 people playing in this arrangement.
This is Canadian Brass, a triple brass arrangement with NY Phil and Boston Symph players.
Called American Patrol not USA Patrol
When you're this good, you can wear white tennis shoes with a suit.
Alan Epp those shoes are running shoes.Tney have much more support than tennis shoes.
13 people misclicked.
GLENN MILLER STILL GOING STRONG ALL THE TIME
muted trumpet
P
I hope you apologize.
