Raving Platypi saw Wayne in concert, met him too. Super nice guy, always willing to teach. When I was in high school he came and gave us tone lessons. I'm a bone player and he even helped me
Don't you just love the feeling you get when you hear a song like this. the chill that goes down your spine (and Gordon goodwin's charts are the only ones that can do this) when you hear a triumphant ending like this one.
My jazz band played this last year, we won the Eau Claire Jazz Festival and played at the University of Northern Iowa with this song being one of our charts. Sick sax part!!
I like this style of jazz...not the 50's stuff you hear on Tom and Jerry, the newer, underground stuff that nobody gives a flying fuck about...I LOVE this style of jazz, and I'm interested in learning to play jazz drumming, even though I'm also a metal fan (SLAYEEEEEEEEER!!!)
@MrRhoadsfan95 I'm in the same boat right now. I've been in jazz band all through high school, but now I'm a senior in high school and finally playing lead trombone, and jazz has become something I love. Now I'm just absolutely fired up for jazz. Metal is literally the only thing I've listened to, but after a jazz festival this year I started listening to Gordon Goodwin, Herbie Hancock, and other great musicians. It's so amazing.
i remember playing this in all county jazz band.... that first sax soli was increadibly fun to play! too bad we had to cut it out cause only three people could play it. :P
@bronstain27 im lead alto in jazz band at my school and id love to be playing this, we played count bubbas revenge though and jazz police was our marching show this year. the movements were jazz police, land of makebelieve, and big niose from winnetka.
im in the second jazz band at my high school and we're playing this exact arrangement (we just got the music today) and im playing lead trumpet. its gonna be sick when we perform this and shock the hell outta jazz 1 and many other people that we are very much capable of playing this
the best thing in this song is def the little instrumental solis that go on. I love the trumpet soli near the end. I'm lead trumpet in my high school Jazz I and i REALLY wish we could have played this song. Right now we are playing Sing Sang Sung but i think this one and Jazz Police both are better.
We just spent a week trying to get our trombones to play something past the first 2 bars, saxes worked our asses off, and they're the only ones who can't play it. We don't get to play it at festival now :(
I played the 2nd trombone part on my clarinet December of 2009, but we had no trombones in our jazz band and baritones, also, we played a different arrangement.
i played this last year in jazz band earned us straight ones at a band review! really fun song to play and high notes for us trumpets are always a plus :D
@donnatrannadelee 144 quarter notes/minute, if I recall correctly. I sight read this song in my high school jazz band class a couple of weeks ago, plus I'm estimating from the speed of the hi-hat.
I'm 3 years old and lead trumpet in my preschool jazz band and were playing this for the president! Please validate me!!!!!!!!!!
The Flying Scotsman now that you’re 5 how did it go and how is your career?
That trumpet 1 note at the end, I don't even know what note, almost made me cry. Wow...
+Mike D Double High C
+Mike D double high C wow
+Brevin Robertson I can hardly hit high G on a good day. It's a good thing the double high C isn't written, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play it.
+Rondo Anderson TBH I think James Morrison and Wayne Bergeron are tied for best lead trumpets in my eyes.

Played this my freshman year in highschool on bari. god i love this piece
Patrick Bernhard So you play french horn and sax? Cool
Patrick Bernhard same. Still in my freshman year tho lol
Patrick Bernhard same
Oh God. Here I am in your place. (Terror Insues)
I love the sound of the tenor saxes
Joe-Hanson Aircraft Co. and trombones. Duh.
That double C in the end though :P sounded like gold
That trombone part...oh my god
i'm playing trombone 2 for it on May
its not that hard of a part
I love this song. In our jazz band, the trombones play with the tenors in the beginning.
Oh and just in case you guys wanted to know the tempo of this song is 184 shuffle.
+jaman198 The tenors and trombones are supposed to play with each other. That's how it's written. It's not just you.
So fun to play on drums! Gregg Bisonnette is my hero.
Bernie Dressel

I played trumpet on this last year too! Fun.
Love that rythm guitar in the background!
omg omg that trumpet is insane!!
That awkward e flat at the end of the trombone soli...
The Gaming Channel IKR!
Our lead trumpet player last year in my high school jazz band did it
Wayne is beast!! He just murdered everybody in the studio with the double C at the end! And he can do that all day long to top off his abilities.
I think the best thing about this is knowing that I got to play with both Wayne and Eric for a jazz band concert!!
man its crazy how they can play all of the notes perfectly together with all of the corect dynamics. thats what makes a jazz band.

soooooooooooooooo good why does everyone listen to rap and cheesy love songs with synthesisers this is the best thing EVER!!
Zac T.S because people are allowed to like different genres of music 😂

Trumpets in this song are beast
I think my heart grows 3 sizes every time i hear the saxophone and trombone soli, then it gets to the trumpet soli.....
God yeah. Never fails to impress. Wish i could play trumpet like that.
I love playing that shout section and taking that double C. So much fun!
I remember playing this last year. Oh, the memories of our previous assistant band director. Krum High School jazz trumpet section 2011-2013!
Loving the lead Alto Sax sound for this song! Can't wait to perform it! :)
Sal and Eric both have such great, rich, full, clear alto sounds, love um!
6:50- the end. UGH SO GEWD
James N. O'Sullivan I can hit the last note on 1st trumpet it's just on my trombone the lol

I totally appreciate the mostly unison trumpet soli. Man what a great song and arrangement!!!!!!!!!!

Playing this in my high school big band! 'Trumpet part sooo good'
I still can't over the fact I saw them live and met Wayne. Its just insane.

Dude yes. We are playing this too. That ^ ^ ^ C on trumpet at the end gives me chills
I love how you listen to this and reach the end, you just sit there for a few minutes recovering from the orgasm that was this song.
I love the sax solos. I love this group of people in general. P.S. Kevin, this is what we need to sound liike someday.
Love the alto solo!
@antaries93 thats awesome! i sure wish our marching shows were themed in that way -- normally we do some movie. But thats great!
Playing this on my Bari Sax in my high school band right now, SO FUNN.
infamous499 me to but I play alto
Amen Zac........Great stuff.......Great band.......Wonderful charts
That solo makes me proud to be a sax player ; )
i remember playing this in all county jazz band....
that first sax soli was increadibly fun to play! too bad we had to cut it out cause only three people could play it. :P
@lucaman1221 It's an homage to Count Basie, one of the legends of the Big Band era.
7:28 [weyahhhhhhAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [head explodes]

The stop-time tutti section... I couldn't breathe.

Playing trombone 1 on this is so much fun. Especially the soli. Playing some nice high Bb's

mana843 Gotta love those Bb's
@bronstain27 im lead alto in jazz band at my school and id love to be playing this, we played count bubbas revenge though and jazz police was our marching show this year. the movements were jazz police, land of makebelieve, and big niose from winnetka.
The soli is the best. All of them.

the best thing in this song is def the little instrumental solis that go on. I love the trumpet soli near the end.

We just spent a week trying to get our trombones to play something past the first 2 bars, saxes worked our asses off, and they're the only ones who can't play it. We don't get to play it at festival now :(
Double C at the end, just to top off a smoking chart
And its perfectly in tune!
This song is so fun to play on trombone
We always just play blues and more blues in Jazz Band. This is so much better
My dream to play bass for this amazing band
awesome.
At the end of the first trumpet it says opt. *triple c*
oh yehaa
Just the straight squeak on trumpet at the end, nice.
Paul G. There is Wayne for ya
Our jazz band is playing this but we don't have the written solos in this video of the different sections...? They sound really good, it's a shame
I played the 2nd trombone part on my clarinet December of 2009, but we had no trombones in our jazz band and baritones, also, we played a different arrangement.
holy crap the last note.....
Just listening to that last trumpet note hurts my lips!
That trumpet section
@Kerpaltheballer thats good that yall like the high notes! The lead player at my school complains!!
8 people were born without ears.
That bass line
Fun tune to play bass on!!!!!
Benthoven1 no, trumpet!
William Rees TRUMPET SUPERIORITY!
Yea. My boyfriend is a bass player and he recommended I listen to this. 😄
#saxophonenationalism
@PosadkaFilms I'm not sure? It's in Port Orange, FL
The note at the end is a high G, i played my junior year in high school.
+Jacob Rouse Wayne plays the G first, then goes to a Double C. Great tune, I'm sure your HS band loved it and played it well!
what a song guys...cool!
this it's real blues, sounds great.
Loving that trombone soli...
I can always jam to this! its aldrenaline rushing !! :D
Sax soli is the best.
Agreed
Yep
I don't know...6:50 to the end is pretty kick ass
@trumpettttttt classic wayne steamin like a tea pot full of purple drank
we played this at MTSBOA midstate silver band. it was not as good, but it still kicked @ss

trumpet soli is the best
double high C
I'm a sixth grader and I'm first alto j. My schools jazz band and we have to play this in November
@donnatrannadelee 144 quarter notes/minute, if I recall correctly. I sight read this song in my high school jazz band class a couple of weeks ago, plus I'm estimating from the speed of the hi-hat.
i hit the super c at end!!!!
same set part though. soo stoked
Yeah we have three- one plays a baratone, one doesn't play at all, and one tries to play, but never practices.
thanks for posting this i needed a recording for jazz band and i didn't want to buy it
I for one completely missed almost every single note on the soli the first time I went over this
