The chart then moves to a samba around 110 BPM for the half note. Lead trumpet range is to written high C and there is a tenor solo with chord changes. You won't forget this chart!

This song was actually made as a tribute to somebody who died, the piano is supposed to be his heartbeat. That's what the note basically says summed up on the inside of the score.
XxContraryLambxX what’s the story
It was a guy that died because of heart defects

JuniorSr it has been done
There was more applause from that last low bass trombone note than there was for the solos at our jazz fest
Ricky Minor that note is the best one to hear
i was at a school jazz fest on thursday and the high school jazz ensemble (the best of the best) played this for our middle school band and i (the pianist of my band) got to sit right behind the pianist and watch him play it was so cool
had the honour as an alto sax player to play the solo for this piece last year, we won gold nationally and was one of the best experiences I've had as a saxophonist
Wait you did it as an alto sax... we had a tenor do it
This song makes me feel things
Finally another part with a Bass Trombone part that goes lower than Bari Sax
I can imagine trumpet 1 and bass trombone just playing chess or smthing during the whole song
can confirm
Playing this in high school as a 2nd alto, I’ve always hated slow songs but this one took my heart away
'took my heart away' bro...
y’all really have to hear the story of this song to understand it fully
whats the story to this I have never heard it
TheAwkwardMexican beginning of the video read the notes
@@keyanpowell927 bih what
@@theawkwardmexican1299 I believe a highschool student in a jazz band died and Alan Baylock wrote a song in rememberance
@@markjohnson3413 what what? there's "notes to the conductor" at the start of the video, read them.
I play the B Bone... Man is it fun! Those pedal G's and Ab's. And that pedal Bb in the begining is just good.
Yessir
my high school jazz band played this yesterday at the last fall season comp, really emotional as well as knowing what this song was written for
Played kit for this in my high school jazz ensemble and had an amazing time! One of my favorites from the year
I want this played at my funeral.
Herr Joe Did you read the directors notes at the beginning?
@@zestra123 no why?
@@aabatteries1741 its a tribute to someone who died
I’m playing Tenor on this song for my high school for this festival season and it is amazing. Easily the best Jazz chart I have played.
Wow...that tenor solo was hip!!!
Got to watch this live! AMAZING SONG! Better in person!
I saw two high school bands play this one after the other at a music festival.
I really gotta transcribe that tenor solo. Incredible
LOVE THIS. The ending was copy-pasted and I think it was a bit of a missed opportunity to not have that motif overlap over itself at the very end so the final chord could be this cool held-out thing with lots of voices, but I love the layering of the instruments when the groove comes in, and that sax solo was so good
The notes explain why the ending is the same as the beginning
Great chart. Epic.
Playing this song hits differently
Beautifully written piece and when I heard the story behind it this instantly became even more beautiful!❤️ Thank you Alan Baylock for creating this unique piece
Recommend this song to my band director I really hope he gets it. It's s very high possibility because we need a Latin, balet and swing charts for the concert and this is like all 3 in one. He also loves the arranger of this song. And he knows the meaning to this song so fingers crossed 🤞
ITS LIKE PROGRESSIVE JAZZ!!! I LOVE IT!
thanks for the upload. We are doing this one in jazz class.
Yes we are!!! We're gonna be awesome!
We are always awesome.

How descriptive.
Well they aren't wrong
this is the first song i played when i met my first love, and the final song that i played in hopes of her changing her decision but her ultimately breaking up with me
This song is my Ultimate Jam
4:34
We played this and everyone clapped in the middle when it stopped, right before the piano plays again
Omg I love this song (hi rodri)
Who is this 😭
@@venteach.6289 there’s a gag where my friend will look at songs we played in jazz band and I’ll comment something like this and he’ll laugh lol
Great song honestly
Just saying whoever was on drums was fantastic especially in the little sax solo parts
Great swing and demanding intro.
Love it
Amazing! 👏👏❤
The first part would be a really good opener with some SCV 2016 kind of writing after the slow part
This could maybe fit in somewhere during the ballad. Or after, as a transition of some kind...
In 3:08 Tenor sax's fire!!!!!
Trumpet 1 is about as useful as a human appendix
4:51 would be lame without it though
@@schloob That doesn't justify the whole piece.. I think it's a poorly utilized part in a bad composition
Well if your lead trumpet just got done screamin to he heavens on the previous chart, this would be an awesome break, especially if the rest of the concert has some heavy lead trumpet playin
Trust me, I've written plenty of high notes. This composition isn't about that, it's about something much more subtle.
@@colinnolan2212 Hey, thanks!
Sounds like a Jacob Collier Song ❤️
Can't wait to be the flat line
When the tenor sax solo is by a 16 year old chad LB 😂😂 but great song/arrangement and a good solo.
This is Chad?
@@robertorabello1050 no lol it does sound like a young Chad though.
@@matthewstevenson7452 oh yes.
I’ve put the title into Google Translate and what came out was the word _Hug_
Why does this sound like Wii Sports?
cynthia toum I know wtf I was thinking the same thing
Same
Because Nintendo actually makes some great jazz tunes for their games :)
ua-cam.com/video/7EveJYDloAc/v-deo.html
I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING😭😭
bass trombone plays like 20 notes total and almost all of them are just the double bass part. rip
Nah thats fine. This would be a good song after a aggressive piece like torque or moanin. Gives bass bone and trumpet 1 a break
They sound really dope thoughh
It’s all about the colour!
@alfredmusicjazz is there any chance to aquire the transcript of the tenor solo?
3:08ソロ用
I don’t know about that A section again at the ending...
Read the concert notes
1:40
I’m more of a st Thomas man myself
I'm more of a Cheesecake guy
Can this be considered a ballad?
The beginning is a ballad, but then it goes into samba and swing, so I don't think the full piece would be considered a ballad.
Who is playing that monster tenor solo?
Sounds like Samsung wth
what scales is the tenor soloist using to sound so out throughout his solo ?
Yes please I need to know this
Chromatic
Both forms of diminished, Dorian in the minor sections, and lydian in the major sections of the form, and their patterns in and out of it. Hope this helps.
im gay
Among us
Got a few Metheny vibes, but overall I don’t really like it. Feels too “basic”
Life can be simple, too.
Alan Baylock Oh wow this is an old comment, the chart has definitely grown on me since then lol. I adore the use of contrasting styles! Great bassline, too.
ALAN IS SUCH A MENACE
