Two summers ago, I participated in the 5-Week Summer Performance Program at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. I played with the 5-Week Big Band, directed by Wayne Naus, who played at the Blowout Concert on August 8th, 2007. This is us playing "Cruisin' For A Bluesin'" from the DVD of the show. Enjoy!
It might just be the mic, but the trumpets are covered up by the bones and Saxes.
WOW that is a tight sax section...
I luv the fact that they are dressed 'down', they look comfortable & chilled out AND like they are enjoying their performances. The young people performing are a "work in progress"
WOWWWWW YOU GUYS KILLED IT! Especially the first tenor!
I’m a trumpet player and normally zero in on that section which was fantastic in this tune but the saxophones knocked it out of the park. Fantastic.
watching this brought back awesome memories!! Thanks for uploading this!!!
that was tight! im the drummer on my high school jazz ensemble, and the drummer did an awesome job with the tempo and he didnt falter on the drum breaks. i give him props becuase im still working on the beginning break because i do soemthing fancy and it throws off the time, so this video gave me some ideas.
The Bari player is rock solid
i like the tenor sax solo. pretty great.
and i had a lot of fun playing this song in high school. my favorite song to play on sax :)
DAMN! Amazing!
Awesome 👏
Great job!
Thanks to all the people that explained how it could have been done better, or how they did it better.
more trumpet sound!
@ysmnthelight niice. i've been watching a lot of your videos and am liking what i'm seeing. keep up the good work
Gotta love that sax section at 4:40 ^^
Nice video :)
Dayuuuuuum
Fantastic! One of my favorites.
dude, you're young and for how old you are you def. have plenty of potential to be a really badass drummer. keep it up!
me gusta! a great stroll in the blingin jazz way!
God i love thay sax soli
That last chord is so dirty, i love it
I didn’t hear enough trumpet for a Maynard Ferguson song but damn those saxes are fire
That’s mostly in how badly it’s recorded.
More cow bell!
Hey! You guys were awesome! I'm not a drummer by any means, but from what I could hear, you were awesome, and you really got into the piece, like, some drummers just sit there playing with poker faces, and you actually were really, wholly, inside the music which was awesome. I really liked the part where you stopped playing and then the guy with the saxophone did his thing and everybody got back into the thing. The only thing that bothered me a bit, was the thin sound of most instruments.
kick ass tenor player
Its actually very good. Listen to the maynard ferguson arrangement and they almost sound exactly alike
just slower, but yes this was a great rendition.
...and one Bari to rule them all...
@ysmnthelight oh my god your drum solos are amazing our jazz bands druk solos can only hit one drum. the tom
are you planning to put any more of the concert up? i'm quite interested in hearing the rest of the set.
how old were you in this (and how long had you been playing drums)?
haha yes you caught me in the act :D
Wayne Naus from Buddy Rich's band w/Lin Biviano?
I liked it, but I feel(from experience), with more practice this one needs to be good amount faster. Obviously it needs more than 5 weeks.
what's bassist name?
1:23-1:30 oh my god
@chazzles93 It's hard to just change your tone on a dime, but what you can do without changing your embouchure is to try out some different mouthpieces, reeds, ligatures, and alternate tenor necks. Hope this helps!
your comment is ridiculous.
i thought berklee's recital hall would be bigger. it's about as big as UMBC's.
our bands doing this aswell. won't be as good as yours though!!!! :-D
Bill Watrous at 1:27
6:03
2:52 3:05 3:18 3:30 3:42 3:55
I could Use more Volume out of the Bari, He should really attack it with a growl.
so sick!!!!
that is, when i saw your face in this video...i became nauseous.
I wish the brass were micced better, other than that absolutely right performance
Well, I think the recording has quite low quality audio overall..
ah, thanks. i'm only interested in the big band stuff, and specifically listening to the way the guitarist is comping.
Is it just me, or did they slow down a bit? and yeah, I can barely hear the trumpets at all....
It sounds good although kinda immature yet but you have alot of time rehearsing all the best!
eh idk i like what the trumpets are playin its just they are underbalanced...they need maynard back from the dead to show them how to handle a horn like pro ;). great job on a difficult tune and the "hey" in the middle of the sax soli at 4:52 gave me goose bumps... this is what jazz is all about...bringing something new to the table and shredding as hard as possible. great job
Dressed way too casual for a public performance. Obviously not recorded well, but the saxes are strong. Maynard would approve.
i just wished they could have done it a little bit faster. we did it faster in our high school band. it sounds cooler
the trombones are way too quiet
The only cool drum solo ever.
The Drummer Should try to play more along the lines of the soloists. It's hard to do but if your a good drummer, your can pull it off. Also its fun if you and your bass player hit a couple hits together in random places, just watch each other make eye contact and smack! The audience will get a wake up call. Also not to crazy on your solo, nice effect.
You don't know what you're talking about.
@@user-tb9lx1oz9n man, what a good comment on a 14 year old post. You were probably one of these kids in this video and now that your hair lines receded you’ve got nothing better to do. Have a great day!
Jazz cant be listed down to one band and one sound. There is many different styles and ways of playing jazz. So by the way your saying it, greats like Coltrane and Miles Davis and Cannonball Adderley and Herbie Hancock didnt play real jazz?
I guess I misunderstood you, my bad.
you can barely hear the trumpets
Hmm only takes 5 weeks to sound like that! LOL
Jeez Berklee kids are just ridiculous. Those saxophones are so tight it's not even funny.
yeah, the bari player is a little too quiet. hmm, just like the bari player in your band eh. oh well, at least you can't give me crap on this tune, at least you can hear my now even on the far end of the section.
