Complain about the camera-work all you want, but I'm grateful that one of my students sent me this link (several of my students worked on this piece in early 2024). Chuck M's music is classic now and this performance is exemplary! Been a fan of Al Vizzutti since I heard him on Chick C's "Music Magic" album while I was still growing up in NYC. Got to meet Al at VCU and learn from him about his approach to practice (that he learned from Raphael Mendez). No motion sickness for me, just love and admiration for a masterful trumpet/flugelhorn player and these Rebel Alliance Jazz Ensemble players!
Just please take look at Allens lip muscles motionless expression and amazingly beautiful and buttery tone on flugelhorn, NEVER EVER heard that before, this time he beat himself BIG TIME!!!!
Nice long phrases, Allen! -- something that my eyes were first opened to by Sonny Rollins. This piece would have been truly epic with solos everywhere - 12 minutes long I say! - you've got the talent and the composition almost demands it. Beautiful sax section blending. Thanks to all, including the recording experts!
Great performance. We are currently playing this in a community concert band I'm in. To the camera operator: thanks for uploading, but next time, find a good spot from which to shoot, set up a tripod, pan and zoom.
People have complained about the camera work but I think it was spot on for this performance. It added to the sense of energy of the performance. It placed the viewer inside the band during the performance. It focused on the intricate figuring of the flugelhorn when appropriate. It moved over to other members of the band when appropriate. I say bravo and well done. Very enjoyable!
100% agree. I'm sure Mr. Vizzutti is too polite to say anything, but I know I'd be annoyed having a camera shoved in face from a different angle every 5 seconds. I stopped watching and just listened after about 30 seconds lol.
Camera man is moving tooooo much! Does not have a steady hand to get the players. Trade in this current camera man for one that has a steady hand; it's like the band is in an earthquake!

This cameraman reminds me of every kid ever recording a school fight. Other than that the playing is phenomenal and that triple E is just insane.
It's a double E. The triple register starts at F#.
Once you've heard him scream those Bs and last E you don't really want any other version.
This band is casually rocking the lead trumpets of both the Airmen of Note and Army Blues 😮
Good catch.. that *is* Brian MacDonald on lead, isn't it?! Wow!! No wonder....

Say what you will, but you will rarely get this view of a master and his technique. I say bravo. Well done.
tough on a mobile phone to get a reasonable vid . sound is great
A triple high E at the end. Wow!
Was that Donny “Dubba D” Dyess ripping out that double E?? That would be something to hear a double E that loud!
It's a double E. The triple register starts at F#.
Truly epic tune! Sounds like a movie 🐬
It was a movie lol
@@SHBazTBone oh snap 🐬
Fire this camera man, and I'd buy the DVD...for me and friends (friends don't let friends live without Allen - their, just aged myself)
I had to take a pill for motion sickness !
Fantastic solo Allen!
The camera is a mini drone folks
I love this Chuck tune. Probably my 2nd favorite to Cannonball Run Theme. Alan knocked it out of the park. I just wish my fingers worked that fast.
Just please take look at Allens lip muscles motionless expression and amazingly beautiful and buttery tone on flugelhorn, NEVER EVER heard that before, this time he beat himself BIG TIME!!!!
get a better cameraman good lord
I was gonna say. I mean, is this an artistic decision or what?
I had to put the video on pause, and take some Dramamine. 😉
Its the same dude recording the UAPs and Sasquatch..just not as grainy.
Or, a tripod?
Let this be a lesson: Don’t drink and video, kids!
Double Bs from the lead trumpet and a double *E* at the end, all in tune and with hair! NBD... 😳
Chuck did write some good tunes, didn’t he? It has to be an honor to have your piece played by Allen Vizzutti!
That tone is like butter

When that was over (like so many jazz tunes) it deserved a huge ROAR. Incredible playing.
Those lines from AV - just sublime - didn't even notice the camera work.
Bravo Bravísimo
Great performance. We are currently playing this in a community concert band I'm in. To the camera operator: thanks for uploading, but next time, find a good spot from which to shoot, set up a tripod, pan and zoom.
Qué buena interpretación de Allen Vizzutti, muy bien
Stop walking around Vizzuttii when he's trying to concentrate. Ugghh.
Incredible sax playing. I have been a pro for forty years and I am blown away!!!!
Hello merci pour ce moment du bonheur musical et de ravissement
이런 수준높은 연주를 들을수있는 저 식당은 도대체 어디인가?? 그리고 박수가 이거밖에 안나온거에 너무 놀랐다
Little applause because they are recording this live. I could never contain myself.
Love this :)

Me encanta el trabajo del camarógrafo, felicidades, y sobre todo a los musicos de calidad.
Superbe solo de bugle!
Love this. Amazingly talented artists. But please, get a gimbal or tripod to stabilize your videos.
I played this piece on bass sax and it slaps, I got the double bass bass line as well as the 16th notes just after the drum solo
I think the camera work is spot on, good job!
/sarc
играют как боги вощеее!
Damn... B-Mac!!!
Love the music, but terrible camera work. This isn’t an action film-that jerky stuff needs to stop.
100% agree. I'm sure Mr. Vizzutti is too polite to say anything, but I know I'd be annoyed having a camera shoved in face from a different angle every 5 seconds. I stopped watching and just listened after about 30 seconds lol.
He was certainly a war reporter or had a difficult birth.
Bin ich erschrocken! Bei dem Flügelhornsolisten hab ich zuerst gedacht dass ist der Lauterbach!!
Tive dificuldade em achar o tempo dessa música no começo 😅
Essa entrada da bateria me quebra kkkkk
Bravo.....
Who is that lead trumpet player??Brian Anderson????
I think this is Brian MacDonald from the Airmen of Note.
Brian McDonald and Allen Vizzutti in one place is my kind of night.
Brian MacDonald played lead and those double Bs. On the last note, Paul Stephens played the double E.
Nice. Is it possible to buy an arrangement of this piece?
Great performance! Who's the arranger?
It might've been Jeff Tyzik.
Chi ha fatto le riprese è un pivello... mi ha fatto venire il mal di mare.....cazzzzzzzz
Good grief, I'm motion SICK!!
Band powerplay!
As good as the band is, well, you can fill in…. Toothbreaking picture 🤯
War der Kameramann betrunken? 😢 Schade, die Musiker sind großartig vor allem der Flügelhornist! ❤
Camera man is moving tooooo much! Does not have a steady hand to get the players. Trade in this current camera man for one that has a steady hand; it's like the band is in an earthquake!
like buttah.
What kind of Flugelhorn are you playing?👍
Its a Yam 631
change the cameraman
Gosh I got a bit seasick! 🤢 🎥 💩
For a band playing this good and a sound so well produced. The camera work just sucks
Great band; terrible camera man.
VERY respectable effort. Difficult tune.
Bro rly thought he was hitting em cool angles with the camera 😭
