The only similarity between this jazz band and my high school jazz band is that we were in high school too. These guys are outstanding.
That trumpet player gotta be like 27 at least
@@stodillerspencer2028
Yeah, high school jazz bands are much like little league teams. All the top schools are just importing Cubans in their mid 20s.
@@Peter-ff1tp and the one Puerto Rican that’s 12 but plays like and is like Aaron judge
@@Peter-ff1tp Y’all talking about the Dillard guy?
These guys played jazz instead of doing concert band throughout school I think
Damn good swingin band.:-)
Bruh why the baby spinach? This piece is incredible but I can now only focus on the spinach!!!
bro the kid on the glockenspiel has blueberry-tipped sticks
That drummer 100% has someone tied to the tracks
Bro I literally could not breath because i was laughing so much at this.
I love the bag of organic baby spinach on top of the piano
How did I not notice this I literally watch this all the time wtf
why is it there lol
@@liljxs3627probably a good luck thing/ trolling the UA-cam audience
It’s a Popeye reference I think, to make the pianist play stronger
the drummer looks sooo happy when he plays
if playing your instrument doesn't make you happy then why even play
Yeah if I was at Essentially Ellington playing solid old man, I’d be pretty happy too.
Bro lookin devious
@@dailyblankscreen7938 man’s got that jerma985 jawline
@@Person-275 nah dream's one
Mad respect for waluigi on the drums right there
I read this comment and almost choked on my water
Come on it's green goblin😂
🌜🥁
Have some respect you bunch of idiots. This is a person…
At least he has a better jawline than ur chin line fattass
bro that drummer looks absolutely devious
that’s what i’m saying aba aba aba ba ba
Bruhs like the meme face 💀
He looks like dream 💀
I can't unsee it
Devious
The piano players hands are gigantic. Such long fingers and a great touch on the keys. Dang. But the thing that kept getting me to wonder is where the hell do you find a high school kid who plays great vibes. What a throwback.
give this man a rachmaninov tune
That soprano sax solo gave me goosebumps absolutely incredible. You all smashed it.
All the solos but that and the Bari solo were really good imo
@@FNBRVolts all the solos were near-professional quality, if not professional-quality. Maybe you just don't like saxes :)
@@volatilefish3908 I said all the good solos were good, and I pointed out that the saxes solos were especially good. you misread, I am a sax player, why would I hate.
@@FNBRVolts sorry bruv I just thought when you said "all but that" you mean you didn't like it, I was in turmoil wondering how someone couldn't like them
@@volatilefish3908 Oh no I was saying the soprano and bari solo were the best.
I’m a retired high school band director. My jazz band very rarely got less than a I- at festivals. But I would hate to perform after these guys. They are on a completely different level.
what is I-?
What state is this the grading system of?
@@astanarr i think he just meant a I, or 1. In my state (and most states to my knowledge) band festival ratings are usually 1-5, or I-V ( same thing, some places just use numerals instead)
Ohhhhh makes sense@@talesoftheinlandseas5063
Wisconsin uses 1-5
@@astanarr best score, lower half
like an A- type thing
Everybody's talking about the drummer while totally missing that insane trombone solo
Amazing! So great; love your pianist. Jazz is so difficult for pianists. Hope he continues his studies.
@5:36 why tf does the pianist have a bag of baby spinach on the piano????
Bag of... Spinach? On the piano? Swagger for days.
the whole rythm section absolutely killed it during the entire show, also the bassist does not get enough props
Every solo was nuts but that pianist is really tying everything together. Wow!
is that... baby spinach?... on the piano?
Yup! I think they said they were trying to find an example of the vibe they wanted from the pianist at the beginning, and they found an old Popeye cartoon where he ate a bunch of spinach and then played the piano
@@matteorivera9894 lol that’s awesome
@@matteorivera9894 lol
I love the mic error in the beginning. It gave really good 1930s vibes for a second.
it really does!! i love it
The best songs are the ones even the musicians themselves can't help but jam along
The drummer will (deservedly) get a lot of the percussion section's shine, but the guy on the xylophone was locked, too!
vibraphone
Is no one going to talk about the bag of Baby spinach on the piano???
@@Snavels this was the only time he ever did that, nobody had any idea it was gonna happen
Adrian R I saw that too, but thought it was a tune book!!!
@@elisullivan7392 lol, a snack to alleve the anxiety of preforming maybe?
I can't imagine why or how that could be there
That drummer though looks like hes got his jam face on!🎶
The piano intro sounds so fire
Damn - some great music going on there! Must show my son who at 12 has just joined his high school jazz band here in Sydney. Thanks for sharing - Dave
Speechless!! HIGH SCHOOL??!!
You know they are good when their Bari Sax actually plays a solo
I’m a bari player and on a Gordon Goodwin tune we were supposed to have 4 solos, trumpet, tenor, trombone and finally me. The day of the concert all but the trombone and me chickened out last second and I was really happy cuz I got to play 32 bars solo instead of 16.

@@TooTactWithTheKnocks yea but he only soloed on alto and soprano.
You didn't put any * on the last trombone solo
@@nkk334 that’s because unfortunately Nick Mesler didn’t win any awards for his solo.
@@rainewoods He should have; I’m not sure how they judge solos at EE though.
@@theblackbasketballIm not sure how they judge either, but he’s a fantastic soloist, he really should have
Also holy crap that second sax solo. That kid was laying it DOWN. And the drummer is really solid.
The drummer is the trollface
i thought Nick Mesler killed it. Maybe a few blunders but he deserved an honorable mention i think.
Well, seeing as how he got into Juilliard’s jazz program, I doubt he’s sweatin it haha
His solo on this chart was SO tasteful. I agree.
@@paulfujimoto6849definitely lol, he’s a fantastic player
I really love the 2nd trombonist's energy
the vibraphone player looks like someone straight from the 30s-40s.
I wasn't familiar with this Ellington tune. I went back to listen to the '49 Ellington band play it. This high school band really does the tune justice. Great solos, but also really good ensemble playing. Thanks!
I’m in my middle school jazz band and I could only imagine being at one of these competitions when I’m in high school
these kids are gods... best version of solid old man i could find
People don’t give enough credit to the bone player
I didn’t know Matt Damon plays the bari
love the drummer
Wow. I was thinking it was a concert 'for' Roosevelt HIgh School and I was thinking how cool the students get to listen to this great music live. hehehehe
if anyone was wondering both tenors are playing martin committee iiis and lead alto is playing a (50s?) martin indiana and his sop sax is a 1920s martin i believe
a sax section full of martins- i love to see it!
How’d they place? , cause they CRUSHED this one
We placed first lol
anyone else see the bag of spinach on the piano? lol
Man I wish my midwest highschool hadn't cut band when I was like 7. I didn't even get to hear this music until I was in college.
Is no one gonna talk abt that bari sax solo tho😁
Extremely underrated
So good
I can't believe this is a high school jazz band.
This video is one of the many reasons I bought a soprano sax
Same
has anyone relized that theres a bag of spinach on the keys?
That lead sax player 👌
Just curious for anyone else that noticed.... what's on the piano? Because it looks like a bag of spinach or cucumbers. If it actually is, mad respect.
is that a bag of spinach on the piano?
Dream looking like that drummer
The bari sax solo was so fly
Fr
fr, ima try learn it
I need to know that soprano sax’s mouthpiece I am in love with that tone
Roosevelt is insane
Trumpets- that wiggle gives me shivers
I know my high school is auditioning for ellington next year and we played solid old man to practice over the summer and I couldn’t get it close to as good as theirs was it’s crazy.
@@imdead8368I think they kinda mix in a lip trill with a regular shake because when I did it like that, it sounded like theirs
Use of dynamics and tempo were AWESOME.
That drummer is crazy good
Walter Jr. is jamming on the drum set
Does the pianist double on the bag of spinach?
Soprano ❤️
Bag of baby spinach on the piano???
Go to 5:54 in the video (RIZZ ALERT⚠)
agreeable shaan srivi
agreeable shaan srivi
Agreed and ur a w shaan Srivi everyone loves u
Is nobody going to talk about the piano solo at the beginning
How do you do that trumpet technique at the start?
Martin Atkinson it’s the plunger mutes
Looks like there shaking there instruments a little almost like a vibrato but faster
Elmo01 Miller you’re actually just changing partials really quickly
It’s a really hard shake along with a plunger mute
Hands down to the Rythem section the drums and bass are solid
Why is nobody talking about the bag of spinach on the piano
So is no one going to adress the bag of baby spinach on the piano💀
this is my fav soprano sax solo
easily it is so damn good
wow I mean wow. That was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
the lettuce on the piano and the drummers *devious* look ,,,
Drummer why the long face?
Wow! This is beyond impressive.
If you look at musicians you'll generally see that the younger they are the faster and more complicated they want to play. And it isn't until 15-20 years into their career that they understand what truly makes great music.
However, these guys already have it! This is the most impressive performance I've ever seen.
Absolutely sublime!
The drummer looks like Walt Jr. Tell me I’m wrong
Great band and a head arrangement, impressive👍
how come there isn't a single black person in this band? not american asking.
Most high school bands are white by majority. Nothing wrong with it.
To double up on the last comment, I think this high schools also in Seattle. Seattle doesn’t really have a whole lot of black people
It’s still not all white people
Roosevelt is a predominantly white school unfortunately
this is my favorite jazz song besides cuphead
(specifically this vid lol)
Wow!! What a nice soprano sound!!
I love this song
Now THAT's a bari solo!
Trombone soloist has a great sound. Band sounds great.
Male pattern baldness be damned, my boy can play trumpet
And my band got our booster team to go to walmart the day before festival at a small high school about an hour away to buy us actual plungers that i took the liberty in deconstructing.
Didn't know Ludwig played sax
o7
The Soprano sax …….beyond professional! A tough beast to play!
The drummer looks like he'd steal my cymbals and give them to people who can actually play them well (he's devious; but for a good cause)
amazing groove, Henry Mohr on the drums is so far deep in the pocket that he's busted down through the bedrock and popped out in hell
:44 seconds there is lettuce on the piano
absolutely loving their performance and their outstandous socks
Wonderfull, I see it over and over and over again!
Why is there a bag of spinach on the piano
Can anyone tell me why there is a package of baby spinach on the piano?
is no one talking about the bag of spinach on the piano???
anyone notice the baby spinach on the piano?
Did anyone else click on this vid thinking it was ludwig playing? 💀
The piano at the beginning is amazing
i would ask why there is a bag of spinach on the piano but the music is too good to care
The spinach on the piano 🤣
That drummer be lookin like Charles V
Why the piano got spinach on the lid?
