The tenor pans screaming in harmony. Damn, how can you contain and control such agressive beauty and keep it in such discipline when all your tendency is to just let go. Wow!!!
There are certain things that should belong to a nation's heritage. This is one of them. This arrangement is nothing short of perfection. You can hear the melody everywhere in the arrangement.
Song is intense, loud and powerful all the way through yet somehow it's also dynamic in ways I cannot quantify. I am flabbergasted as to how they do this. Magic.
People, forget who shouda wouda, this is the baddest piece of pan ever. Close yuh eyes and listen to every piece of metal ringing out... This is my feel good music.
The entire second half of the arrangement is fantastic. Incredible amount of musical content. The players discipline has to be applauded as well, to pull off such intricate layering between all the pan sections. Like a classical piece played at calypso tempo! Jit was truly in a class by himself. :]
Come a carnival and experience the pan yards and see for yourself how it evolves before panorama. Or come and play most bands are international in composition
Seeing how they don't teach you with sheet music, it is amazing they can remember the whole thing. I'd fail after the first two minutes and just randomly play notes.
To me, this the ultimate in awesomeness. Had the sheet music for years, and I always blow the 7b section. Watching the whole stage rocking and moving is bad ass. Every time I play this on my car stereo while driving, I speed up 10-15 mph.
+Sara Lassalle Yes, Phase 2, This Feelin' Nice, written and arranged by Boogsie, recorded by Denise Plummer (sorry if my spelling's off). Was in the crowd that night, and always thought if ever there was a reason to allow a tie (not that i'm fond of musical competition), this was it.
This is the best and most complete panorama piece ever arranged in panorama. Learned this on the tenor to better my pan playing. God bless Jit and the Renegades.
Pan In A Minor will go down in history as one of the greatest tunes ever arranged for a Panorama Competition. R.I.P. Jit You attained musical glory on earth now you can spread it in the Heavens above. God Bless.
I went to the Ocean Beach street fair, in San Diego CA, and saw they had a DJ playing music at the beach. So I hiked up to my car, and got the CD of the Renegades, took it to him and asked he play this song. It was unlike anything any one had heard (and better in my opinion ) T'was interesting to see how some recoiled from it, but others listened, heard de music, and were jumpin up and loving it. Gotta spread the pan joy!
The Lord Kitchiner, lirics together with his melody took the steel band's to great heights, to quote, ah walk around the room and ah started to create un quote, any one who is familiar with his lirics will agree that he was truly the Grand Master of calypso.
2020 and I am still in awe. I am loving the great Late Dr Jit Samaroo's arrangement as only Renegades can do the greatest steelband ever. Rest in eternal peace Jit, you were a good humble good soul.
One of the best panorama tunes ever arranged. The melody is always on one of the pans in the band. Jit's interpretation of this tune is a master piece which with his other future arrangements would have justified his honorary Doctorate.
I've been telling people that for many many years. What Jit Samaroo did here by making sure at least one pan always carried the melody was just pure genius. It made the arrangement the perfect interpretation of the song. The actual tune never left the orchestra which in my opinion shows how disciplined he was as an arranger and musician.
Was there to see and hear this masterpiece live....7 of the 11 or 12 bands played this song for the final.....a Kitch masterpiece and brilliantly executed by Renegades!
ah love it..ah love it ..ah tell alyuh ah love it.....ah love it...look how pan sweet nah boy....jit really takes a tune n put life into it boy...jus like way he do wit toco band n so much more...ah love it..ah tell alyuh da alrdy?
This is a diamond encrusted classic! Jit's stocatto style is given full rein and let loose on the audience. If you want to hear a version with decent sound quality you can find if on Spotify.
listening to all the renditions of this tune I now fully dig how jit surpasses and is a cut above the rest...his intro is always always unique and mesmerizing......somwith which other arrangers I have not seen...also the way he fuses the pans together is mind blowing.....it's as thgh is one big pan playin...so uniformed and in sync wit each other..each pa complimenting each other.....listening to the other renditions I did not find any that cud best samaroo....fonclaire i tink was the worst......dis is pan....wen an entire band plays and u only hear one pan ....not meaning it like u literally one pan........alyuh know weh I mean. ....such a class performance ....jit truly deserves the title ..."greatest arranger of pan"....he truly has defined the instrument and used or in ways no other arranger has created a challenge to others to meet this standard.....
i swear i never heard an arrangement like this before this is out of the focking way omg ... i praise him , sounds like he would give clive bradley a run for his money
damn my brother loved this song played it for him on his funeral motorcade last year memories and yes his father is trini RAYMOND MASI JAMES runnin st.croix red with pan music awoya
I have an idea, but I'll keep it to myself until I can get someone to help finance the idea. Renegades music is purely magical. All of their music I've heard is far superior than the others. The best is Rant and Rave.
I totally agree. Dr. Samaroo had the best understanding in my opinion of this instrument and took it to it's highest potential with his arrangements. And by no means we can't leave out the fantastic group of players he had to work with. However, he's left us a student that is proving to surpass him. All credit to the genius Dr. Samaroo.
Over 7 billion people on earth. Can’t expect everyone to love or like the same things. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Just because you and others like it don’t assume everyone will. It’s okay if some people don’t. There’s also how many other steel bands in the competition. People have their basis opinions as to who they like and who they thought deserved the win that year.
Strange. I can't even remember who won and what they played that year. For me Renegades won by a long way. These judges should have been banished in a world without music. Oh well !
Just the fact that Dr. Jit put the head of the tune in the end shows his ingenuity. The best ever to do...Dr. Jit Samaroo.👏🏾🎶
This is the sweetest instrument ever invented. Nothing can compare.
Jit Samaroo was an absolute pan genius 🙌🏾❤💯
Yes he was.
The tenor pans screaming in harmony. Damn, how can you contain and control such agressive beauty and keep it in such discipline when all your tendency is to just let go. Wow!!!
Well said!!!
There are certain things that should belong to a nation's heritage. This is one of them. This arrangement is nothing short of perfection. You can hear the melody everywhere in the arrangement.
C Gollum I kno right, this is eargasmic.
The greatest pan arrangement ever. Case closed.
10,000% Totally agree!!!
That arrangement is just sick
Amateurs should not be allowed to fudge Geniuses. Nuff said. There was no better arrangement or performance on that night.
Song is intense, loud and powerful all the way through yet somehow it's also dynamic in ways I cannot quantify. I am flabbergasted as to how they do this. Magic.
When your arrangement is the go to music piece for college students world wide, you know you've created a masterpiece.
People, forget who shouda wouda, this is the baddest piece of pan ever.
Close yuh eyes and listen to every piece of metal ringing out...
This is my feel good music.
The arranger has passed...but he has left us much.Every pan lover will pay tribute to this great arranger of pan music...Jit Samaroo.
indeed. ..kudos to a great pioneer of steel...
@@kobysadmar6069 Great arranger!
I was introduced to this arrangement in a university music course, and I cannot believe how amazing it is! The complexity is mind-blowing!
The entire second half of the arrangement is fantastic. Incredible amount of musical content. The players discipline has to be applauded as well, to pull off such intricate layering between all the pan sections. Like a classical piece played at calypso tempo! Jit was truly in a class by himself. :]
class by himself I wouldn't say that 3 others in a class with him
Come a carnival and experience the pan yards and see for yourself how it evolves before panorama. Or come and play most bands are international in composition
Seeing how they don't teach you with sheet music, it is amazing they can remember the whole thing. I'd fail after the first two minutes and just randomly play notes.
+Gilles Gionnetti May I ask how you'd go about getting into one of these bands? I've always been curious, being a pannist myself
Best arrangement ever. There will never be another like it. Greatest steel pan arranger.
agree!
Tie, curry tabanca by all stars in 1987 man…
They tief yuh Jit Samaroo...but doh mind dem. This was a BOSS arrangement!!!
The Incredible Jit Samaroo. After so many years of listening to this arrangement I am still in awe. 👍
To me, this the ultimate in awesomeness. Had the sheet music for years, and I always blow the 7b section. Watching the whole stage rocking and moving is bad ass. Every time I play this on my car stereo while driving, I speed up 10-15 mph.
This arrangement rivals any Bach or Beethoven. The sophistication of the arrangement and the incredible solos are really a marvel.
They were robbed. They should have won with this. This is one of the most amazing compositions I have ever heard of any kind of music, period.
still cant understand how this came 2nd ! One of the best arrangements in Panorama history.
Israel Bachew The best!
who came in first
Israel Bachew 1986 had 4 of the best arrangements in Panorama
nathaniel roper Phase 2 Pan Groove....Pan Rising I believe, their first victory in the Big Yard.
+Sara Lassalle Yes, Phase 2, This Feelin' Nice, written and arranged by Boogsie, recorded by Denise Plummer (sorry if my spelling's off). Was in the crowd that night, and always thought if ever there was a reason to allow a tie (not that i'm fond of musical competition), this was it.

R.I.P Jit Samaroo...this was one his best
+Reuben Cruickshank Amen to that! One of his best, God bless Lord Kitchner also, what a team.
The sheer beauty of this piece by Jit Samaroo is that you could always find the melody everywhere in the arrangement.
Oh how I love my country. Miss you my love and see you soon. This daugther will love you forever and a day!
The Lord Kitchiner, lirics together with his melody took the steel band's to great heights, to quote, ah walk around the room and ah started to create un quote, any one who is familiar with his lirics will agree that he was truly the Grand Master of calypso.

Best Pan song ever composed :)
You are absolutely right about that. I don't know of a better piece of music ever played for Panorama.
The greatest of all times bless jit

A pan genius has gone rest. He was way ahead of his contemporaries.
Man i swear i tell ever hear pan till you hear it like this...sweet sweet music

This still gives me goose bumps
ah love it..ah love it

Very cool. Thanks again, Glenroy, for bringing these jewels to us.
Miss you Jit R.I.P
The sweetest pan! SIP Jit Samaroo
I want to know who are the people who disliked this? Really? A classic.

Still rase my pulse shout out to the Harp
The LORD GOD of PANORAMA ARRANGEMENTS. PEROID
sweet fuh soooooooooooooooo!!!
I remember my mother cussing wind when Renegades didn't win. Actually, she was more upset cuz Phase II won.
Gosh this makes my pores raise all over my body especially the original
Jit Samarooooooo
2023 world steelpan day ❤
na greatest robbery have to be rant and rave...still trying to figure out how that lost
major boss fight vibes
YES

I swear people don't even play pan like this anymore
Strange. I can't even remember who won and what they played that year. For me Renegades won by a long way. These judges should have been banished in a world without music. Oh well !
My friend is playing this with our school's steel drum group at Disney World...but faster, at 120bpm.
Well if this come 2nd, I don't want to hear 1st place..
One word: Mario kart
Most definitely
