Almost 10 years ago, I wrote a proposal for a service that would make it possible for musicians to play together remotely, across distances. Such a service would revolutionize musical collaboration, allowing for musicians to play together in situations where cost of travel, schedule, and practicality would not allow it. Musical education in bands, recordings for revenue, and so many other applications would be benefited by such a service. The problem with such a service: Physics! Latency. The time of flight for a signal, as well as the latency introduced by the transmission system means that playing a note at "the same time" is not possible. I believed then, and now, it is technically possible to create a synthetic "real time" experience that can overcome latency (more accurately put, factor latency out). This video -- by marvelous musicians -- has motivated me to do more work on the proposal.
I played 3rd trombone on this song with The University of Tulsa’s 3 o’clock Jazz Band at the NE State University Jazz Festival (an all day HS Jazz Band Contest) in Tahlequah, OK in 1980. We were the feature performers for the evening concert. David Sanborn was our guest saxophone soloist. We (with Sanborn’s unbelievable play) brought the house down with this song. Great memories.
If there is anything refreshing or something to make you 😊 smile during this pandemic then this is it! So glad I found the video of Birdland! It just gets better and better!!
Right on! Out of all the insanely impressive material in this, that trumpet solo was the highlight for me too. That said, the sax solo was fantastic too!
@@keithwilson5521 I just watched it again after the first time 10 months ago because of your comment notification, and I had the same reaction of bewilderment and amazement as I had back then. Thank you for bringing me back to this!
Yes. I got this album from way back in the day. So good to hear the young folks digging it. I’m watching this on my tiny little phone but it appears many are playing memorized?
Never let these guys out from the quarantine!
😂
I agree
Seriously. This is absolutely incredible.
That lead trumpet with the effects board is SICK!
This is the definition of “tight”!!! 👏

Cool, thanks for sharing the story!
As good as the music is whoever did the mixing and put the video together is also a real talent! This is a very professional musical product.
Bombastic killer music a'la Tower of Power, musicians fabulous Randy is happy Thank you boys...
Hard to move on from this. I just may have listened to it ten times consecutively. Sort of in disbelief here.
damn, dem cats are tight! Also kudos to the sound engineer!
I haven’t heard a trumpet do that since Don Ellis!
Suddenly I can see around corners, both in the past and the future at the same time!
This is a really really good band!!! Go Finland
Brilliant!! All the more incredible by you all recording from home! Love it
The mixing is really great

I think everyone is reading music, not 100% sure though 😄
The Brecker Bros album that this song is on is a real classic from that era.
