Damn, when I saw they tackling "Moanin'" I was "oh that poor girl on bass!" But she absolutely slayed it! That's a TOUGH tune to play at high intensity on the double bass for 9min! Arrangement for the ensemble was pretty true to Charles' studio version, just wish the audio recording was a little better. But mad props to the bari sax and bass players! Wish I was a quarter that good in high school!
I was thinking what High School Band is that good. Then I looked again. Lincoln Center Youth Orchestra are probably the best High School students in NYC.
i get this is a high school band, but where mingus was one of the masters of organized chaos this performance lacks cohesion in places. still, props to the effort; this ain't an easy piece to pull off even for seasoned musicians.
There are two Moanin versions, one by Bobby Timmons and one by Mingus. This is the Mingus one, from this album en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_%26_Roots.
@@FeldmanJazz I mean : Bobby Timmons is the composer of Moanin'. Mingus wrote an arrangement of this tune, of course. But the tune played here, is not Moanin' but "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting". Hear the original version of Moanin recorded by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers to hear the difference between the two tunes.
@@philippeghyssens3527 the songs are different. Different composers, not an arrangement. You don’t believe me, get the sheet music here www.halleonard.com/product/7010238/moanin :-)
@@FeldmanJazz I didn't know that two composers could deposit a tune with the same title. Apparently nobody talks about this oddity, neither Leonard Feather nor Scott Yanow, for example. Especially since the two compositions were written almost at the same time, 58-59 for Timmons, 59 for Mingus.

It has students from the tri-state area. Top 3 bands in the USA
This piece is like every person is soloing at the same time and they sometimes stop to listen to one person
Exactly
Had chills all the way to the end
that lead in was awesome! then just laid it out real mean. Love it!
Insane Baritone Performance
He looks like Pepper Adams at 16? Seriously!
Totally amazing young men and women!!
OMG.. it started really fast but the bass player KILLED IT.. GREAT JOB ...
Heartening to see that there young people who have not forgotten Jazz
Orchestra is on fire!!
Proud of everyone performing.
Bass and drums keeping it so tight let’s goooo
Excellent rendition! Loved every moment. Hope they did well in the competition!
They got third place in 2023. Several of the musicians got individual soloist awards, including the bari sax and the bass player.
Arrasou, seu Felipe!
Baritone on this rare occasion getting the love it so much deserves!
Pepper Adams... an uncanny physical resemblance?
Congratulations Charles, incredible solo!
the future of American Jazz is in good hands….
Great tribute to the great Charles Mingus & Ronnie Cuber
absolutley sick, i thought it was a bit too fast but nicely done !!
I can't believe they didn't give the bass player a solo !!!!
Check her solo on Ecclusiastics, same concert.

That’s an absolutely amazing bari intro! Hella long but amazing nonetheless

Moanin is a tune by Bobby Timmons, not by Mingus. But this is really a tune by Mingus : it's "wednesday night prayer meeting" not Moanin.😊😇
