Ben (dude in the suspenders) is the main beatboxer, and he’s absolutely killing it with the main groove. But Noah is also adding hi hats throughout, and he’s so in sync with Ben that it sounds just like one beatboxer.
Gordon Goodwin was so impressed with this that he linked this on his Facebook page which is how got to enjoy this. This tune is one of his charts for the Big Phat Band.
How is it possible that kids can sing so flawlessly a cappella, a song with such harmonic and rhythmic difficulty, and while dancing?! Such "supernatural" talent displayed here! lol. Absolutely unreal, and a pure joy to listen to. Lookout! The new Swingle Singers of America are here! thanks so much.
Yeah, you guys killed so much with Strasbourg St. Denis, I was like, surely that won't be beat in the next decade... but damn if this isn't up there with it... Amazing what the Academy produces, as a too-old-for-it-european I am at the same time jealous and in awe :D
This is everything. I’ve never seen anything done like this before. Performed by such young talented people. Improves, crazy jazz harmony and rhythmically challenging as “f” great job guys 👍🏻😊
This sounds like a direct transcription of Gordon Goodwin's arrangement for big band... Which made it easier for them to rehearse because they could practice at home with the recording. Still really cool I love to play this chart and I love to hear this rendition
SUPADOPENESS!!!!!!!! had to watch again andagain.....the steps and vocalizin...percussion lips!!!! WHAT....?..... BarZZZZZZ. and PRETTY LADY FEET.......SOLD. WHERE CAN I BUY THIS???!!! Comeon tell me. or ima have 1000 views here
@joklable I mean, there was definitely some Melodyning between July and November. Here's what the people in the room heard: ua-cam.com/video/sVX-fmxwexc/v-deo.html (which is already going thru a ton of expensive kit) None of this takes away from the performance. If you've heard world class groups perform live then you know these kids aren't far off.
that beatboxer is... so talented.
what. the. hell.
this entire performance is incredible i am shook.
I think there are two beatboxers?! oh my god...

I have no words for this, and neither did they😂 This performance was nothing short of legendary🙌💙
Ahaha “and neither did they” 💀
This is the Strasbourg St. Denis of this year. incroyable!
INSANITY. PERIOD. everyone in cloud 9's a beast.
Amanda Taylor has my heart with her arranging. Actual genius.
Baylee Maskil felt that
SO. TRUE.
3:15 THE BACKGROUNDS... LIKE, HOW DO YOU MEMORIZE THAT?
Amanda Taylor is an absolute monster of a director! Incredible.
Peep Ben and Noah absolutely destroying it on perc 🤩🤩 y’all are a whole ass drum set and I freaking love it
Gordon Goodwin was so impressed with this that he linked this on his Facebook page which is how got to enjoy this. This tune is one of his charts for the Big Phat Band.
I’m gonna transcribe the solos and learn them on guitar. It’s my next mission
Ben's snare, man how does he keep it that snappy all the way through the performance!? What a beast
as soon as the solo scatting started the stank never left my face. This is absolutely incredible.

imagine how wonderful the world would be if we all communicated like this instead of with words
I cannot wrap my head around even ONE second of this. CMON NOW
This song/performance has won Best Jazz/Big Band Performance in the 2021 Contemporary A Cappella Society Awards!

This is absurd. I can't tell if these are voices or instruments. Has the world ever known harmonies this tight?
This bass is dummy good.
Anything from Amanda’s work is just so good!
BEN YOU DIDNT HAVE TO GO THAT HARD. go OFF
This is everything. I’ve never seen anything done like this before. Performed by such young talented people. Improves, crazy jazz harmony and rhythmically challenging as “f” great job guys 👍🏻😊

That was just brilliant! Such talent and energy. Well done!

Great! sounds like 50's jazz is still alive! thanks
