[Joejoseph888]

[Thedawg4life]

We play this in our high school jazz band and instead of a guitar solo, we have a alto and tenor saxophone solo.

[kj4ilk]

[UndeadGamingCA]

I like it better without guitar like the original.

[tado0le031]

This is the song we play in Jazz Band! it's easy

[MrChopinMan]

drums wrong its not as rolly

[MrChopinMan]

drums wrong its not as rolly

[Rogan2311]

this is the exact same arrangement of this song and version we are playing in my jazz band

[E3guyy]

They sound great, but the trombones in my opinion should be a little louder when playing this song.

[beno0515]

definately

[WrestlerFRK09]

not to bad, i like it

[therachelspice]

nice bass

[MaskedEmrys]

Guitarist's bends were off and he had issues actually fretting the note and picking at the same time, but other than that it was pretty awesome as a whole.

[normannws]

This is just like our arrangment! GREAT JOB WITH THE GUITAR SOLO!

[MrSplitTicket]

this is cool guys - IM a guitar player playing it for my jazz band this year and I figured Id throw down the first half of Terry Kath's actual solo before I rock into some improv - do you think its worth transposing? (my school playing the same key as yall)

[Pianomagicdude]

Well, the original song is in a totally different key from the arrangement we play. That's pretty much why we all hate it. We play a marching band version that is in an even different key.

Terry Kath's solo is really cool and it would be worth transcribing, however, you will have to transpose it to the key the band it in, and that work will be a little taxing.

[MrSplitTicket]

yea man we're playing it in Bb too - thus the transposing. But I mean I just learned the solo and decided to play the first half three frets up then Imuh improve with that Pentatonic and the Dorian scale, maybe touch on some Bb minor Harmonic for good flavor. My cousin was the lead singer for this band Chicago so Ive always known the song and I agree this key can suck a dick - but what are ya gonna do?

[6246701]

@Pianomagicdude why would you hate this song it is like one of the est songs we play in jazz band

[Pianomagicdude]

@6246701 It's easy - wrong key - and doesn't show our full capabilities. It's just fun for the audience and fun for us to play. Just my opinion.

[ednatoki]

@Pianomagicdude the begining the trombone part would be fun to pedal my middle school played this last year and we got first in state middle school jazz band

[ednatoki]

@Pianomagicdude and is that the written solo he played or improve

[0xXryuzakiXx0]

i wish the guitar solo was in the right key... hes good, but at least play in the key the bands in

[famousracehorses]

lol. im playing this in my elite band. we just played it for an hour and were past half way.

[quakershockey]

This song is okay but DAMN, its a jazz band, show some life

[TheNakerz5]

@quakershockey Yeah, it needs to be heaps faster....

[rawrtaylorr]

Bahah, really good (:

I'm gonna play this this yeeeear~

[Brittuli226]

I love this song for jazz band!! Our jazz band played it last year. i am a bass clarinet player but I played tenor sax 2 yrs ago in jazz because only a few fingerings are different and now I am playing the also in jazz. I will record us playing and post it.=] YALL SOUND GREAT!!!!!=]

[benbenjackson1]

what the heck did the drums do right before the guitar solo?

[Abl1indboy]

i like the ending with the conducter

[1996leba2822]

I am in seventh grade and our band it's only 2 trombones 1 piccolo 1 trumpet drums 1 keyboard playing the guitar bass and a clarinet that's 8 and we can play it great

[1996leba2822]

and the teacher

[Pianomagicdude]

Wow, weird instrumentation. I bet it sound awesome.

[1996leba2822]

thanks I am trying to record us playing so that I can upload ir

[UVAFoozle]

@1996leba2822 ya need a sexy sax!

[bllydabest]

I'm in sixth grade too. And I play this for it too. But I play baritone. But I play a trombone part.

[Pianomagicdude]

This is something we only play for large crowds and events. For competition, we play pieces like Count Bubba, Sammy Nestico's Sweet Georgia Brown, Groove Merchant, Night Flight, Lil' Darlin', Mueva los Huesos, Birk's Works, and In the Mood.

We have since won four national competitions with pieces of music such as those.

We don't even rehearse 25 or 6 to 4. It's nothing special and nothing competition-worthy. It's just a simple and easily recognizable song that we can pull out anytime.

[alex62495]

yea im in 8th grade and my jazz band plays this for fun sometimes its easy as hell

[6660666066]

the wind was really good

but the drummer was kind of iffy

[treepeemee]

I'm playing this with my Jazz Band right now.

Trombone 3, and I'm a SAXOPHONE PLAYER.

[alex0dog]

i played this 4 years ago in 8th grade 1st trumpet :D

[j00ssens1]
