Congrats y'all! I hope the music program there inspires y'all...I honestly crapped my pants in awe when we sat back down in the audience after our performance, and then they started swingin like THAT! They were even tighter during their judged performance too, which is even crazier!
@@diegoamdrumshaha I saw you play Tunisia at Ellington this year on the web good shit bro. I’m in Roosevelt’s top band this year so hopefully I’ll see you next year in New York
Cant wait to see this school in the next few years with Nathaniel being lead at this competition. I for one wanted to see him play in actual bands since all I ever saw of him was solo playing but this was such a good performance. Feelin like another Summer Carmargo type personality for the trumpet community at EE. (Also what is the Snookie Young Award? is it best lead? best overall trumpet?)
The Snooky Young Award is a new award that is given to the lead trumpet player that plays with the most accuracy, style every quality a good lead trumpet player needs but also has stylistic soloing as the great Snooky Young was known for his creative solos especially with mutes. This can be compared to Ryan Kisor who is my favorite trumpet player and lead of JLCO who also makes some of the most creative solos out there.
God gave us genius musicians to entertain us this good..staying closer to them is this great fun, great kids bravooooo bravo bravo you did a great job indeed, let it only music rule the world and let it sound just this good
Man, Ella Kim has a fantastic and quirky touch on the piano in the first song. Really passionate and expressive. Reminded me a little of monk or Rueben Gonzales. Hyperbolic I know, but I will be checking in on what she does going forward. Very interesting style.
I’ve never noticed this but happy go lucky local and “night train” as performed by Marvin berry and the star lighters in back to the future sound very similar and I think that’s cool and awesome
Bands that go to Ellington pretty much always memorize their music! By the point they're sending in their recordings the song is drilled so far into their head they really just play to enjoy the music and get into the groove rather than reading something off a page. Of course, we always start with sheet music, but memorization allows everyone to feel the tune that much better.
check out ken titmus @ktcustommouthpieces he is using a piece he created and I play on a custom mouthpiece he made for me as well it is amazing but currently after this he plays on a lotus mouthpiece
Essentially Ellington has turned into some kind of jazz caricature. The kids all make the Wynton face, hoot and holler, cheerlead, and act as if every note their peers play is akin to the invention of the most incredible idea ever thought. This is some kind of jazz acting, combined with music as a sporting event and drum and bugle corps silliness. This is exactly what is wrong with the state of jazz and jazz education today.
Hey Magan! Essentially Ellington is a festival about being in the moment and appreciating each other in the special moments that JALCO and others gifted along the way to us. Because we all know the hard work that everybody puts into their music, we want to show our appreciation for them by supporting them throughout the night. This kind of hype involves us clapping and yelling because everybody is having fun! I hope you understand that this is primarily enjoyable to the people who were there to see them at that moment.
I see a group of hard-working students being celebrated by their peers and other musicians, does Marcus Printup look like he's watching/playing alongside a "jazz caricature?" If anything, this band has earned the right to cheer and be cheered for.

Lead trumpet is incredible! Style reminds me of 1950s Maynard.
That's Nathaniel Williford for you. You should check him out in NYO Jazz this year.
I GO TO SCHOOL WITH HIM
I was thinking a young Arturo..
Thank you!!

Let’s go OCSA!!!
oh. my. goodness. let us understand that Duke is in great hands with this generation of fabulous musicians.
Man, Ella Kim has a fantastic and quirky touch on the piano in the first song. Really passionate and expressive. Reminded me a little of monk or Rueben Gonzales. Hyperbolic I know, but I will be checking in on what she does going forward. Very interesting style.
And the best part is that she is like that in rehearsals. I love playing with Ella.
That girl is FIRE! I LOVED it!!!🔥 🔥 🔥
Love Nathaniel’s energy when Marcus solos
@@kaseejay761 you think you’re funny, dawg? Check yourself

Now hold on. These are High School students? Holy Cow! They are so accomplished.

As a tenor sax player, hearing the Dexter quote at 11:00 was super cool
YEAHHHH!!!!
Absolutely mind-blowing....!
I heard the first piano chords and I knew it was go lucky
Wow wow impressive performance!!! Bravo!!!
I’ve never noticed this but happy go lucky local and “night train” as performed by Marvin berry and the star lighters in back to the future sound very similar and I think that’s cool and awesome
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Edwin Bysuke thanks for the video
No problem
9:40 Sean Jones Cherokee lick
Yep, sounds like a variation on Dizzy’s “One Bass Hit” riff
Awesome job! Kudos!!
Love the dexter quote at 11:00

@@jawnsuns second balcony jump
@@yuvalagam2 i love you

BravooooO !!!!
Is sheet music like a foreign concept to them??? I can’t wrap my mind around it😂
Bands that go to Ellington pretty much always memorize their music! By the point they're sending in their recordings the song is drilled so far into their head they really just play to enjoy the music and get into the groove rather than reading something off a page. Of course, we always start with sheet music, but memorization allows everyone to feel the tune that much better.
Does anyone know what mouthpiece the lead trumpet player is using?
check out ken titmus @ktcustommouthpieces he is using a piece he created and I play on a custom mouthpiece he made for me as well it is amazing but currently after this he plays on a lotus mouthpiece
!!!
The bass player looks a couple of years short of 40....
Lol, I was 17 in the video.
