What an excellent performance, what an excellent composition, Tone quality from the entire band, Especially the Trombonist. I had to get out my Nakamichi headphones for something as spectacular as this. Myself being a Trombonist, i have now made Don Immel one of my trombone idols.
Fuckin awesome! that's the best i've heard that song played. I also like the few liberties taken at the second cadenza. I'm doin this for NYSSMA, any advice on how to play it?
Very well done, especially on hitting the penultimate note (the super/double-high F!) It must have been hard after playing the whole of this piece. Also, great work on the lip trills.
wow....this is great. and i love all the comments, a lot of people don't appreciate this kind of music, but its shaped the difinition of music as we know it today!
To be able to play that song well, you pretty much have to practice it so much that you end up memorizing it. You don't have time to read the music that fast, lol.
holy shit!! I've played with that guy, well, sat in the back row with my tuba trying to resist dropping my jaw. He's a really great, cool guy. Bravo!!!
Great job, I like the tempos you were taking it and I'm probably gonna do that for my solo contest. Well, you only kept that tempo cause the band was holding you back from unleashing, I heard you all the way through it trying to speed it up.
Love the one woman laughing really loudly through the cadenza - either it was a small audience or everyone was scared to have some fun. Lip trill semitone run was awesome.
He is definitely an exceptional trombonist. Unique cadenza and good playing definitely deserves a standing ovation. I thought his tempo was fine since this piece is a solo and ad lib. Marvellous!!!
Wow

I like this performance. This was done in a very classy manner. Too many trombonists perform this song like it's some sort of a circus attraction.

This individual is complete, man, from double-high F to double-pedal C. AND HIS SEMI-TONE TRILL FALL my gosh, almost wet my pants right there!!
JMR6916 4 years ago 5
very nice
much more conservative tempo from others i've heard except for the last variation
but i'd rather have that than someone playing fast and just slopping through it
trust me i'm working this much slower than that lol
