Eric marienthal is on the short list of players you almost have to watch play to really understand what's going on. He uses so many alternate fingerings and awkward trills and funky extended technique that it's just impossible to really get the full experience without the video.
The level of detail in the articulations alone on he's 16th note runs is almost inhuman. I'm reading a transcription of it but I don't think I'll ever get those runs quite like he does.
I was in the audience that night; GREAT SHOW!!! Dan Savant and I used to play in the same band "back in the day". He introduced my son, a sax player, to Eric Marienthal who agreed to give him lessons when not on tour.
As a fan of the Brian Setzer Orchestra I really appreciate great big band jazz and swing. This band is incredible and of course Bernie is the perfect drummer for this.
Everything about this performance is total perfection... The energy and talent radiating through the entire band from Eric's solo all the way to Bernie's percussion break with a hint of Ringo at the end! Can't stop watching this. Musicians of the highest caliber right here! 👌
THIS BAND IS OUT OF SIGHT. THEY GOT THE TEMPO, BEAT, RIGHT INSTRUMENTS (and the right people playing them!) THE DRUMS ARE FABULOUS. THE "THE JAZZ POLICE", JUST HAD ME UP AND DANCING IN MY HOUSE. I NEVER COULD STAY STILL TO MUSIC LIKE THIS! IS THIS GROUP STILL PLAYING TOGETHER? W O W!! SYLVIA - FL- 03/29/2019
So amazing... the group... Gordon!! Gordon Goodwin is also an amazing tenor sax player... search "Space Available - Bill Watrous" to see him crush a tenor solo back in the 80's. I couldn't help noticing the comments about the dancers below. I've played trombone in the Big Time Jazz Orchestra for 25+ years and we have a saying: If we're making music and people are enjoying it, who cares if they're dancing... an audience is an audience!
Our marching band at my school used this for the closer for our competition show just last year. Look it up, Centerville Jazz Band Boa grand nationals 2018
What a fine band! Love the driving power and precision of these incredible musicians. Hats off to the arranger(s), too! Reminds me of Johnny Keating, Maynard Ferguson, Kenton's Contemporary Concepts band. What a delight. Thanks very much for posting this!

Legend has it that when Eric goes beyond 90° on his sax he ascends.
holy crap that alto solo is good
heck yeah it is
Eric is one of the best alto sax players of this era

last year eric played with our highschool band and it was a phenomenal performance

Hey do you still have the transcription?
@@isaiahd9947 if you look it up you should be able to find one on TH-cam.
Single handedly the best saxophone solo I've ever heard
*John Coltrane would like to know your location*
Sal at 5:45: "Shit, did I leave the stove on?"
lol
Yall are sleeping on the percussion solo, its playing in the back of my mind 24/7!!
I just noticed the drummer used musical quotes from Caravan. That is AWESOME
he (bernie dresel) actually recorded the drums for the final scene in whiplash
I was in the audience that night; GREAT SHOW!!! Dan Savant and I used to play in the same band "back in the day". He introduced my son, a sax player, to Eric Marienthal who agreed to give him lessons when not on tour.
Those are some brave dancers.
Probably paid dancers, it is Disney world.
Anytime I just need a killer sax solo I come back to this 😂 what a legend
That bari sax, though!
+Kirusha Lanski I've played that part and its a fu**ing b*tch haha
Thicc boi
Nice and P H A T
Better solo here than on the original recording!!
You'll love this th-cam.com/video/7qtiJfajkLU/w-d-xo.html
True
That's a stretch, but it's still really good
Not quite
Brian Scanlon:
Pardon me, but what the fuck?
I love the people just slow dancing while the drummer is just DESTROYING the kit😭
Before they started playing I noticed the bass player practicing his fingerings
Awesome
Astronautical Films Probably because he'd just been playing that upright for a bunch of tunes, probably just getting his electric muscle memory set.
That alto solo!!!!
+Jack Ready altissimo/harmonics are the one thing on sax that I've never been able to get right, but I always wished I could
that sax solo is grotesque, INSANE. I cannot get over it!! had to rewind twice
It's so awesome to see Sal so into Eric's solo
Marienthal was the guy that got me to really start working on my altissimo. I wish I had half the skill he has on that solo!
I'm a guitarist and Eric is my idol.
As a fan of the Brian Setzer Orchestra I really appreciate great big band jazz and swing. This band is incredible and of course Bernie is the perfect drummer for this.
Love it!...sounds like music from a 1960s British spy movie. Fun stuff.
Eric Marienthal steals the show! I've been a fan of his since Corea's Elektric Band.
Everything about this performance is total perfection... The energy and talent radiating through the entire band from Eric's solo all the way to Bernie's percussion break with a hint of Ringo at the end! Can't stop watching this. Musicians of the highest caliber right here! 👌
Did anyone else catch that the drummer quoted Ringo's solo from "The End"?
Funny thing, I had to check the replies to see if I was the first to notice. :-)
I think most of us probably noticed, it's such an iconic drum solo.
Josh Garside-Meyers One of the best Drum solos out there!
THE BARII SOUNDS SO GOOD
Super jazz band!!!Sax alto very beautiful!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The musicianship here is as good as it gets ...what a treat to hear these guys play.
+Doug Skinner amen to that. Incredible to watch/listen to
Sad the Guitar solo wasn't included, but at least we got a solo from the rhythm section!
This is an awesome piece!!! I played this with my Grade 8 stage band (I was tuba #1)
This is the best band and best arrangements you will ever hear.
They danced to the drum solo 😂
3:01 YEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
I'm working on getting technical solos good lol right now I'm just playing simple rythms
i can remember playing this at disney as senior in my jazz band and as i sit and watch i wish could take some of those chops Bernie used back. Nice 🤌🏾
Nice Ringo quote from the drummer!!
THIS BAND IS OUT OF SIGHT. THEY GOT THE TEMPO, BEAT, RIGHT INSTRUMENTS (and the right people playing them!) THE DRUMS ARE FABULOUS. THE "THE JAZZ POLICE", JUST HAD ME UP AND DANCING IN MY HOUSE. I NEVER COULD STAY STILL TO MUSIC LIKE THIS! IS THIS GROUP STILL PLAYING TOGETHER? W O W!! SYLVIA - FL- 03/29/2019
Like the little nod to the Beatles drum solo..."and, in the end... the love you give..."
とても素晴らしいです！🙌かっこいい
Our marching band used this in our 4th movement for our most recent show. It was really good
So amazing... the group... Gordon!! Gordon Goodwin is also an amazing tenor sax player... search "Space Available - Bill Watrous" to see him crush a tenor solo back in the 80's.

Holy hell that alto solo was amazing
Wow, that is one sick saxophone solo!!!
performed this for a school concert… easiest the funnest piece to play so far on bari. (Minus solos)
I love this song! Gotta love the sax solo.
Why are they dancing to the drum solo
+Jacob Bulloch rekt em
Why not?
Cause it's good
You're all here for 3:01
Mmmmm that bari sax
Is That "Red" Summers? (OK real name Bob!) He used to play in my big band in Boston in the Berklee days (@ early 70's) Great jazz player!
Drummer really quoted caravan like that
This is truly amazing im in love with this solo
Great pocket Sam! Tasty and clean!
Just saw GG & TBFB live at Royce Hall. Still smoldering... Crank it up and strap in at 1:10. These guys set the standard.
.
We're playing this for school marching band for the Nebraska state fair. We're not as good as this... but oh well.
Our marching band at my school used this for the closer for our competition show just last year. Look it up, Centerville Jazz Band Boa grand nationals 2018
FAB sax solo!! FAB orchestra!!
Loved playing this song in high school, such a fun song and these are the absolute best guys to play it
What a solo
*Solos:*
Alto Sax: Eric Marienthal (3:01)
Percussion: Brad Dutz (4:12)
Drums: Bernie Dresel (4:12)
Amazing Guys!!
Slamming. Wouldn't mind fronting you cats with my charts. Great work.
Fabulous Band....I have several of their cds........
What a fine band! Love the driving power and precision of these incredible musicians. Hats off to the arranger(s), too! Reminds me of Johnny Keating, Maynard Ferguson, Kenton's Contemporary Concepts band. What a delight. Thanks very much for posting this!
Jerbob1 That's not an arrangement... That's the original
These guys should do the theme from The Flintstones! They would rock it!!!
:D i love this song i played this on trombone this year xP
Awesome but can't believe the lead trumpet bailed on the last note. Super B wimp!!!
awesome sax solo !
lmao I was just about to type that
they came to my school and played amazing they used their bass clarinet for their own version of rhapsody in blue by gershwin
It’s probably a coincidence but the part of the drum solo at 5:44 reminds me of Ringo’s drum solo from the Beatles’ The End
A little bit of Beatles drums at the end of the solo!
i got a lesson with Jay Mason on Baritone, and it was truely the most incredible experience of my life
how nice they are dancing without caring anything about the music...hahaha!
thats sweet dude, i wish that bernie was educating div 1 so he give us the best rhythm section
I know the lick at 3:25 is a quote but I don’t know what’s it’s from. Anyone recognize it?
So awesome :D
2023 and counting...
genius lead trumpet in this band
Bro, Eric is amazing...
This music is just too damn fun
Playing this in my middle school band
Bernie came to our school! .0.
Get it Jay Mason on Bari! WHOOO!
Eric Marienthal rocking as usual
Jesus that is kicking !!!!!!
once again eric is dominating
Just wow.
Such Good
Very Wow
Scary good.............
the guy playing bongos is having the time of his life at 4:35
I saw the Alto player Eric marienthal live at a concert once.
at 2:53 you can hear sal saying "wow"
the song was amazing my only complaint is i wanted the first trumpet to scream a triple B at the end
yazzinblazinpigeon The original has it ending on a double C
Who are the sad, sad 19 people who disliked this video?
Check out Sal's face on Eric's solo fro 3:10..priceless ! 😵💫😝
JUST WOW….
YES! this is so good! love it!!!
Didn't know Elvis could play Sax
Yes😎
@imheercusimbord lmao yea, they're like "uh....what do we do now?..... just smile and move around...smile and move..." XD
I guess the end of Bernie's solo was inspired by The Beatles.
Played this in pep band
