It requires some more than good chops to dare to arrange this mythic tune for big band and to play it live, excelent work!! Michael, wherever he is, sure is proud
They are both playing on Selmer Mark VI tenors. The first chair is using a Silverstein t-ligature and I believe the second chair is using just a Selmer metal ligature. I have no idea what mouthpiece the first chair is using, maybe a Theo Wanne. The second chair I believeeee is using a Meyer Hard Rubber mouthpiece of some flavor. Hope someone can help fill in the gaps for you, (or correct me if im wrong lol).
magnificent and immense
What a tribute to Michael. Not an easy piece to play. High 5 to these young musicians.

Love this tune, nice to see an actual fiddler play the opening reel. Nice!
Ooh, they zoomed in on Alan Baylock's fancy shoes!
Classic!
can anyone recognize the setup the two tenor soloists play on?

@@thomasmadigan6009 thanks for the insight, that is more than I could recognize!
@@thomasmadigan6009 Will was playing on an Eric D-Jazz (Eric Falcon piece)
They should really teach more false fingering work. The unison moment at 5:50 is just atrocious.
Nathman (First chair) was prepared for that part. The other tenor completely botched that part.
@@gungademon1185 that's supposed to make me feel better about a part that's supposed to be played in unison?
@@rexmelgoza4703 it’s the second tenors fault
