This is one of my most favourite tunes of all times, played by the Master of the Trumpet. Absolutely amazing selection of players. Thank you. My goosebumps have got goosebumps.

Mike's smile at the end - "nailed it!!"

[@jackosallotment6224]

Nailed the last note matey I closed my eyes and listened and thought of the late great Derek you’re so much a like but with your own sound awesome stuff !

[@MrProplayer1]

Really good powerhouse delivery from Mike. Great James Last arrangement originally played by the late Derek Watkins

[@johnheywoodtrombone]

Beautiful balance amongst the ensemble and a playing seating arrangement that works really well. Love how Mike adds colour to every section of melody he plays.

[@TRUMPETSIZZLE]

Getting a very great brassy core to the sound on this solo. Great job!

[@iansimmet5593]

Magnificent ... a marvellous collection of talent being led and encouraged by the Best..

[@jackieemmerson4082]

Jees. The Best of Maynard Fergusson.

[@betseybaby3812]

Reminiscent of the Woody Herman version.

[@mikelovattsbrasspack]

I’d love to know who is the person who gave this a thumbs down and why ?

[@philgraham1274]

String player...

[@rextrumpet]

There are always haters, right? It's always people who can't play who around giving thumbs down. So lame.

[@CDB8939]

Awesome performance Mike, and great playing by the students. We can't wait to start seeing your live performances again wherever they may be.
ps. There are always people that give a thumbs down just for the sheer hell of it,

[@FruitsBasket567]

Someone hard of hearing.

[@russellbradley454]

Peter Gohering what super babble 😅

[@whoopiemudra]

Absolutely super but I cannot watch it, only listen. The visual image is too early.

[@whoopiemudra]

HEY ! Now it is synched !! Maybe it was my machine. Thanks, whomever !!!! Now watching gives me chills. This destined to be a classic watch.

[@rodneydykes157]

So happy memories of Hansi and of course Derek Watkins, and not forgetting Grimethorpe..( who is this guy Jimmy Webb?!!!!)

[@russellbradley454]

I think the video is there to show the marvellous playing skills of the superb young students and has a teaching aid DAH

[@iansimmet5593]

Whoever gave it a neg response must have their lugs painted on !
