The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge

Jazz Style Coach: Joanna L'Estrange
It don't mean a thing (if it ain't got that swing)
Duke Ellington, arr. Ben Parry
If the results of that recording session were released as an album, I would most certainly buy it.
Frighteningly good- how far have Collegiate choirs come since their beginnings!
Quel hommage à Duke Ellington ! MERVEILLEUX !!!!
Sounds great and amazing. Thank you all.
It sounds like I'm in a magical choir, and I'm also learning this song for my concert, sounds amazing keep up the good work❤
Great ! I recognised Owain Park - Bass!! This is such an unexpected musical treat, thanks for sharing Jeremy.
Great musicality!
Can't get enough of this!
Wonderful! Lifts my heart in anticipation!
There should have been a camera in the Ante-Chapel also -- no doubt Newton was shimmying vigorously!

Absolutely brilliant from a choir oozing with musical talent. A joy to watch - and I love the boogying!
Can’t wait to join this choir (if I do get an offer)!!
I did not get an offer. :(
@@avesta5390 You keep singing , join as many choirs as possible , just never stop singing , it's GREAT for the soul regardless of if we are paid or earn the respect of other accomplished musicians , it is our DIVINE right to express and vibrate in this way and one of the fastest ways to connect to everything , Music , the best language in the world ;D
Would LOVE to hear this used as a film track , too good
Gute - Laune - Musik!!!
cool version, well sung :-)

Really well done and very enjoyable...but what an odd choice for Easter Sunday.
;D wow , spectacular
Belíssimo!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please! When is this Album coming out so you can buy it?🙏🙏i would so love to have it😀😀
Tony Pike
Fantastic
May we PLEASE have more
I detected a couple of bars towards the end from "Lullaby in Birdland"
The performance reminded me of a concert in West Road a few years ago
when Maestro Layton was in a similar "get with it" mood
Brilliant. Please post more from these sessions. Is this available to download/cd/dvd?
love this version, I think The Swingles also sing this arrangement.
Well done

Is this not published, say on Spotify?
Let's s(w)ing!
O, gut!
Brilliant... Please can l to get this Not ? Thanks
This is my kinda vibe.
Not sure how some of the singers can sing without moving. I’d be all over the place! 😁
Stance. It's a specific stance I think
- is he conducting WITHOUT a pencil?!
No, my eyes deceived me....but great stuff, guys!
He is holding one in his right hand!
!! !:-)
:v american dad
Okay? I can do this too?
The bass is really sticking out
Good!!🎉
Energetic, but lacks the laid-back quality this kind of music needs . . .
It's a bit precious.
Steve did it better , if yk yk
I was looking forward to this. However, I am disappointed, because of the "jazziness" of the music that seems to be anachronistic with the solemn Easter celebration. That is only my opinion. Happy Easter, a time of rebirth and renewal! 🙏
Alan von Au***** I think one important thing to remember is that this was recorded a while ago since choirs and people couldn’t get together to rejoice this year. I’m just grateful that they are able to share their gift of music this Easter even if it’s online and an interesting song choice!
Easter is also meant to be a celebration.
Remember when people actually had respect for a church? Typical C of E reduction of a liturgical sanctuary into a performing arts Center. Very sad. But not unexpected.
Oh bore off will you, it is their own chapel after all. Also chapel not church by the way.
Tis true, perhaps more than enough come into God's Holy Temple Building without a sense of quiet awe. Their lack of reverence reduces a possible greater Holy connection to God to no more than a society meeting . Before anyone knows it, The Liturgy will be in English and non scripture songs will be sung with instrumentation. Oh, too late. All by the Church of England, too. However, I have witnessed this choir seriously participating in their devotion & worship. They gladly share their craft with others. For me, they have lit their lanterns and are shouting from the rooftop. Jesus said, "These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full".
William Campagna That's the venue in which they rehearse, perform and record. There was obviously no audience or congregation present. Anybody listening to the recording (assuming a release on CD at some future date) wouldn't even know where it was recorded. And this is not the repertoire that they would perform in an act of worship in there, though they would include in concerts that they give in venues (particularly secular ones) all over the world.
The wrong music in this place. It's not good to mix profanum with sacrum. Jesus, I trust in Thee +
That is their rehearsal venue and often their recording venue. This was clearly part of a recording session, not an act of worship. This choir performs a broad repertoire including secular music, in venues sacred and secular. You may object, but you won't change things.
