Orange Sherbert by Sammy Nestico

Originally recorded in 1975 by Count Basie and titled because Basie loved to eat orange sherbert, this fresh setting features easy registers, strong jazz figures, and a bright, free-swinging style. A written or ad lib trumpet solo in the midsection and an ensemble shout before the final chord are highlights. Print music available at www.kendormusic.com

Jazz is about style, not about playing it fast or slow. The tempo in the video is what it should be imo and makes more room for the trumpet solo.
Its a flowing jazz song with a walking bass, not a sprint.

Yes, thank you!

[@dennis8927]

Ik this is a old comment but thank you for saying this since there’s so many people here thinking they’re better because they played it faster and in all honesty to me it doesn’t sound right when played fast especially with the call and response between trumpets and saxes

[@phwoggy.]

You can really groove to the bass at this speed

[@mateoe5742]

Put it on 1.25x speed

[@micahbowe3046]

Yeah my band played it a bit faster

[@phwoggy.]

It makes the swing aspect of it really stand out though.

[@leoperez9825]

Play the song back at 1.25, that's what my band played it at

[@vgcontroller101]

Kinda defeats the purpose of jazz, don't you say? Take it slow and smooth lol

[@trchorizon3526]

Righttt

[@kingaidanofto4467]

This is too slow

[@ironblockheadsThegamer]

Its at 172 what are you talking about?

[@theadventureofcarsyn]

it is, but me, being the bass, I wish my BD played it this slow

[@zacharypetty2439]

U guys don't know how to play music.

[@backdoorbrag]

This is slow compared to the most famous Count Basie recording. This is a totally different arrangement that would be easier for a High school band to play.

[@clark5648]

We’re doing this song in high school but our tempo is around the tempo this vid is when you put it in x1.25
