2009 Jazz Band of America

[pantscrapper12]

Afro-trombone is now my hero. I hope to have an afro as amazing as that someday =D

[InconspicuousJohn]

I would love to do something like this but I could never do a solo, I freeze up in front of people.

[bellbkcndle]

I could listen to the trombonist all day..man he is good!!!!!!

[NicChambers93]

thought that trombone was a high schooler for a second.. just lost all respect for my self haha

[UhMysteryGuest]

That chick is amazing at bass

[nfn58]

dozens of people try out on every instruments, in my opinion there's usually 2 distinct levels, the kids that just decided "might as well try" and the kids that honestly have a chance of making it.

[CincoSnare76]

Facial expression of the guy in the back at 1:46 is priceless

[CDB1997]

what a fantastic trombone player.

[DavoBowRowe]

@CDB1997 thats wycliffe gordon,world renown trombonist

[Firaje]

If anybody knows... what are the odds of making it into this group?

[tumbleweed94]

@Firaje There aren't odds involved. It isn't a lottery.

[Firaje]

@tumbleweed94 I know, but what I'm saying is how many people try out. It isn't well known like allstate band or anything, but it's nation wide, so there are probably better people trying out.

[tumbleweed94]

@Firaje My misunderstanding. That is an interesting question.

[shepgthollywood]

@Firaje Well, listen to the players in it. They're obviously extremely high-level players. If you're a fantastic player, the odds are pretty high. If you're not so happening, the odds are pretty low.

[cougarbubbleyum]

love the trumpets solo at the beginning and then the trombone solo i love it they're all in love with music to be playing like this

[MrEdwardLyons]

I hate Wycliffe Gordon's style.....

[nikomakarov]

[nstrea2]

[LHSax27]

Man, I'm really diggin' those tritones from 1:05 to 1:12

[Beaverr14]

i'm not taking anything about from these players, i'm sure they can all kick my ass even if they don't play my instrument but, is it just me or does the drummer who's not playing just look like he's in awe at around 1:50 ?

[ddave3004]

@Beaverr14 That's the 2nd drummer. He's not playing in that song since the drummers switch out.

[Beaverr14]

yeah, i know. i was commenting on his facial expression.

[rodolfmm]

@Beaverr14 He's not the drummer
