nobody’s giving credit to the drummer for LOCKING THAT SHIT DOWN!!!! those entrances during the alto solo are tough, great job keeping time and his playing was amazing. the full ensemble was incredible and wow those players are talented!
@@bandit916 idk man it wasnt bad but nothing to shout about. his timing was decent but his dynamics were lacking and (though subjective as it may be) i thought his choice of fill and style wasn't always appropriate: ergo, bare minimum - he complemented the style and kept time at a level that engaged his band and had generally acceptable musical choices. maybe my standards are high and for someone his age (which is about the same as me) it's not common, but simultaneously it's hardly rare
Wow amazing alto sax solo, not a lot of people our age can blow over changes like that. Amazing double time and diminished scales. That solo was truly very mature and authentic. Also love that dark alto tone, very impressed.
you should hear the William H taft Jazz ensemble, they won 2 out of their 3 jazz festivals, and hosted their own jazz fest, killer lead players, their Sax fronts should be labeled “Taft Jazz” with the logo in the middle, I recommend that band, crazy good
what an alto solo! Altisimmo and all of that, wow outstanding. love the progression of that solo of that blistering speed incorperated and keeping time! wonderful
I can definitely hear the quotes from the Leo P BBC proms Moanin’ bari solo and I LOVE IT! As a bari player, I could only dream about playing Moanin’. I’ve been begging my jazz director and he’s finally said maybe this year (my senior year). Also, as a former alto player and musician, I can definitely appreciate the talent from the alto player. He totally shredded that solo! Excellent job to the whole band :)
That was actually the most nuts alto solo I've ever heard from a highschool band. That's some real talent and love for music out of that solo. Keep it up!
Look at how these kids are all vibing and dancing to the music, and looking at their fellow soloing bandmates with wonder and pride. This is a band that gives a damn about both the music and each other, and that's why they sound so good.
Fellow Bari sax player here. Man killed it. Wish my high school jazz band could play this, sadly, we have no trombones this year(we’re a small school). Maybe someday… watching stuff like this just continues to prove how amazing band is.
That was amazing. High school band?! I could only wish my school had a jazz band, let alone one sounding this good. Massive props to ALL of the talented players in this video. Very happy.
Dunno if this was intentional, but I heard a little bit of the saxophone riff from "Tequila" from 0:10 to 0:13 . Nonetheless the Bari at the beginning was phenomenal!
@@hincapiej4 fr he attempted Ronnie cubers and Leo ps solos but kinda butchered them. I can tell he’s a good charismatic player. It would’ve been better if he had made his own thing and killed that instead
thats a super great solo for a Bari Sax me as a Bari Sax player it's not to hard to play Moanin I know it from memory it did take a long time it's hard to play Leo P's solo wthout the music sheet but I can do it!
Wow, this piece was absolutely amazing! A lot better than my old high school. The lead alto saxophonist reminded me a lot of a mix of Charlie Parker and Don Menza. The bari sax was good as well, but I kind of wished he would have done a tad more improv instead of just attempting Leo's proms solo. But then again, I can't tell if it was intentional or not.
That bari sax has been waiting for this moment since he discovered moanin
That is me rn
@@ThePickIeGod ME TOOOOOOO
literally! Us bari sax's rarely get any solos!
not every bari sax player responding to this lol
he's just like me fr

ngl, didnt even realize till now
i feel like that's the bare minimum tho...
dude was way more than the bare minimum
@@jwlsiee nope.. he did much more than that, and even the “expected” part is pretty challenging.

Props to this high school director for allowing the jazzband to play together and independently like a real jazzband
YES
This is a HIGH SCHOOL jazz band!?!? They're playing with some great energy and that fat tone coming from the bari was 🔥🎷
Only complaint is balance issues but that probably just the recording
@@mrmrmeta3698 Probably, the camera can really hear the barri 2 times which is a bit odd they sound pretty great overall
@@oneoddcanadian9468 I can hear the bari thru out the whole thing....
I'm a Bari playing and I am completely stunned
high school jazz bands are good, wdym
i love their attention to detail, implementing the "uh" and "yeah" in the beginning
Me too
That alto sax solo was insane
Thank you!
When exactly?
@@YoavZad 3:37
It's not very jazzy, though, it's too straight in my opinion.
@@ayhahga727 I disagree
Bari and alto sax solos were absolutely insane 😭😭 that bari player is a beast
Wow amazing alto sax solo, not a lot of people our age can blow over changes like that. Amazing double time and diminished scales. That solo was truly very mature and authentic. Also love that dark alto tone, very impressed.
Thank you so much!
one of the best sounding high school jazz bands i've ever heard, nice job!
you havent heard many that means
You should check out some of the Essentially Ellington recordings! Its all of the best high school bands in the US!
@@cjenks5677 Mb mr high school jazz expert I'll just take back my compliment i guess
@@JuanVazquez-si9xq crazy

I LOVE the saxophonist in the green dress. She's someone with a real love for music
I like how she's dancing and having fun with it
she was playing tenor saxphone
@@user-dz7eo7jf1x !yep
u can tell she really loves what she's doing
nice pfp@@sevnovikov

The influence leo p has lmfaoo i also play it like that
Did u do it
4:10 that was powerful, you can see it touched the soul of the bari sax player. Amazing playing right there
As a jazz drummer, I appreciate the triplets from the bari sax player 😂👏🏻
because the song is called “moanin”?
they’re not triplets, its called swing 8th notes
4:10 to 4:25 that might have been one of the most elegant time signature changes i've ever seen
I'm literally moanin over here listening to this, so clean.
🤨
Love the energy that the bari sax brought. You can really tell he’s passionate about what he does.
That was actually the most nuts alto solo I've ever heard from a highschool band. That's some real talent and love for music out of that solo. Keep it up!
This is legendary for HS band. Those sax and that drummer are insane, but it wouldn't come together without the rest of the band.
One of my favorite jazz charts with a good Bari and alto solo. This high school band was crazy.
Look at how these kids are all vibing and dancing to the music, and looking at their fellow soloing bandmates with wonder and pride. This is a band that gives a damn about both the music and each other, and that's why they sound so good.
As a drummer in a highschool jazz band Im watching this guy play and realizing I need to practice more😭🤩🤩
this guy definitely watched Leo P at the BBC proms on repeat.
exactly was I was thinking. His solo was essentially Leo P's but modified a bit
@@quackymoo8553 Much, much rougher. Listening to him 4 years later he's gotten so much better, but that middle solo was super rough.
These kids ROCK!!! They truley feel the music! There no fakes whatsoever. I Loved this!
The conductor is digging all of it so hard and that makes this video that much better. Great teacher and mentor I'm sure
This is a High School band? Oh my goodness, they’re marvellous!
Wow, this was phenomenal!!! Incredible work for a high school band. Hats off to all of the performers, especially the bari and alto!!!
Rhythm section on absolute FIRE
STRAIGHT UP
Fellow Bari sax player here. Man killed it. Wish my high school jazz band could play this, sadly, we have no trombones this year(we’re a small school). Maybe someday… watching stuff like this just continues to prove how amazing band is.
Great job! Really amazed at how close this is to the Leo P performance. Excellent job!
I played this my freshman year of high school and it was so fun. Y’all sound amazing❤️
As a freshman I played this a couple weeks ago as my first big solo and I loved it
What was the name of the arrangement
Guy on alto absolutely shreds
the bari does too but my god that alto solo was crazy
this man just barely pulled off a Leo P. solo. THATS BADASS
THE SAXOPHONE SOLO AT THE BEGINNING WAS WILDDD I LOVED IT
That was amazing. High school band?! I could only wish my school had a jazz band, let alone one sounding this good. Massive props to ALL of the talented players in this video. Very happy.
you know its gonna be good when the director is Jack Whitehall
that bari was having the time of his life the entire time, love the energy
no one is talking about how good the drummer is
I love the bari part in this. once i get my bari back from the shop ill be back to playing stuff like this.
I wish my HS jazz band was HALF as good as you guys! You rock!!
same here man
that bari n ALTO SHREDDED on those solos
Damn bro your phrases are so good I hear a ton of modern stuff
thank you!!
i love that you can tell they're all having so much fun and that they're proud of their work, great to see
band directors must be doing everything right
This looks like such a chill band, their energy matches so well
This was absolutely bumpin
absolute love it i have watch this 1000 times
Dunno if this was intentional, but I heard a little bit of the saxophone riff from "Tequila" from 0:10 to 0:13 . Nonetheless the Bari at the beginning was phenomenal!
That Leo P solo ain’t as easy as it looks 😂 props for attempting it though mr. bari guy
That bari sax is insane
Also let take a second and appreciate the bassist !! bro was going crazyyyyyyy !!
A great tribute to Charles Mingus & Ronnie Cuber am they both RIP
This bari sax player did a great job playing the leo P solo from the BBC concert
need to get my jazz teacher to let us play this
I've always loved this song
great job best highschool performance I've ever witnessed
Bro that Bari was straight vibin 🔥
Man, you guys even have an upright bass, the best my jazz band got was two bass guitars! So cool, and great job to everyone!
At ssome point I had to deal with keyboard bass. That always felt off to me
What a great job! You guys killed it, ill definitely show this to my students!
A nice combination between the original mingus big band recording and the leo p version, approved 👌
Mingus big band recording isn’t the original
Amazing stuff, love it
Love the inspiration from Leo P.
That’s a real good sax section
I remember seeing you guys here when I was a freshman
Got confused for a second because my school is also called MHS, and I was like “Wait, we never played this” lol
simply incredible.
Love the director’s little dance moves
damn bari sax is 🔥i wish i was professional enough to play that lol
So does he.
@@hincapiej4 fr he attempted Ronnie cubers and Leo ps solos but kinda butchered them. I can tell he’s a good charismatic player. It would’ve been better if he had made his own thing and killed that instead
That bari player is absolutely killing it
Love it, well done guys!!!!👍👌
Naw this was extremely well done. And for a high school band 🤯
I have 8 days to learn this on guitar for a concert. Wish me luck
Awesome performance
to be comlety honest this is one the best high school jazz bands around
I wish I was that double bassist right there. I always find myself imagining how I would play during the performance.
wow that was actually addicting I didn’t wanna click off lol that was great
After hearing this I’m gonna suggest it to my my teacher for the jazz band next year
good god, look how quick that bass players fingers are during the Alto solo
Bari sax playing the Leo P solo! I can definitely hear it at some parts
alto player on another level 🙌🏽
Bro on the bari having the time of his life lol
Definitely a little rough, but honestly really good for a HS jazz band. Would love to hear what the bari sounds like now
This is amazing, I just wish it was recorded better. The band doesn't sound as full and separated as it would with better and more equipment
Absolutely banging performance, only quibble is I'd like the tenor to be mic'd up a bit better, but really nailed it.
Bari sax having way too much absolutely shredding his part
I love it!
I see you with that Leo P. 👏👏👏😩🎷
i can't be the only one twerking to this my god this is an amazing jazz band
what did i just read it is an incredible jazz band but why the twerking comment
@@bznazrin cuz the music is so good!!!! 💯 💯
@@raspborae agreeable
Honestly better than the Charles Mingus original. This is fantastic!
thats a super great solo for a Bari Sax me as a Bari Sax player it's not to hard to play Moanin I know it from memory it did take a long time it's hard to play Leo P's solo wthout the music sheet but I can do it!

great balance here 🔥🔥
This is really good for high school. The solo at the beginning could’ve used some growls though
nobody was ready for when you stood dude im telling you that was so next level.
better than my high school
Se la meta rifaron, que impresionante el chico del Sax alto, que elegante
me playing bari sax and that bari player, we do the same shit and i love it
nastiest bari tone for a high schooler i’ve seen in a while
that bari was very leo p inspiredit was a good solo for how hard it is
Alto man was absolutely filthy 😮
The crowd in the beginning even sounding like the actual song too 💀
bro that bari player is funky
