[tr0mpwned]

[lucaminsha]

[LeGiTKiLLeR34]

we r playin this in the 7th grade

[happyheart152]

[happyheart152]

attempting to play lead in this piece this year.. wish me luck!

[AuroraCelest]

Ah, nothing better then playing snake with the Youtube loading circle and listen to Count Bubba's Revenge.

[antaries93]

i loved playing this song so much

[SilentM21]

This guy got me interested in jazz music. Thank you to my friend Smurf for recommending this guy for me. Jazz is amazing, plain and simple.

[AvatarNub]

my MIDDLE school jazz band is going to ATTEMPT to play this... its incredibly hard for us that its not even funny O.O

[hanj31]

@AvatarNub you should have your band director get an easy version of this song!

[IncredibleEverything]

@AvatarNub Well considering its an honours highscool piece...

[Nexxion]

@AvatarNub No offense, but I'm really doubting that a middle school jazz band could play this exact arrangement. Both the range and endurance in the trombone/trumpet section alone would be difficult for most high school groups. Show me a middle school player who can consistently play the double G required for this song, and I'll show you a kid who shouldn't be playing in a middle school band.

[SpontaneousRetard]

@Nexxion My extra-curricular jazz band played this in highschool, there is an arrangement that's alot easier and sounds pretty much the same. It removes alot of the flourishes

[StradBandoMan]

@Nexxion PFF this shit would be difficult for a college band... at least to do it anywhere near the standards of the BPB

[Khu314]

@StradBandoMan My little brother's jazz band played it really well, and he's in middle school.

[StradBandoMan]

@Khu314 well, your brother's jazz band played an arrangement which I can guarantee is not nearly as challenging as the original.

[scottguitar28]

I'M SEEING THESE GUYS TOMORROW IN MILWALKEE!!! SO FRIGGIN EXCITED!!! i saw em last year and they were CRAZY good!!

[StayAliveX666]

My band can't even play it at the speed it is suppose to be at and we are insane amazing

[Supermannoob]

I'm in 8th grade and we played this on 192 wow. If only our Jazz Band teacher wasn't so mean because she didn't let our baritone player audition. Also, she didn't let the trombone players who auditioned pass.

BTW, the baritone player has a youtube account. He's my best friend his account is GodofWarhammers.

[PynkWalkr]

love it

[BanaNananoMi]

how come every one wants to show of and say that there playing the exact same speed and version.i mean its jazz< you play it for yourself

[Aeroblacksmith]

@BanaNananoMi

Too bad they actually arrange it for different bands. Who woulda thunk it? Also, you can play any song at any tempo you want. As for the beginning, know what I didn't hear in the beginning? Trombones. Trombones play the 1/16 and 1/8 notes thyroughout the entire song. I didn't hear any in the beggining.

[gotbass7]

this song is swingin

[ProjectmixBros]

I love how Wayne fans Dan with his music when they finish.

[clarinetpride42]

We played this in Jazz band today!!

[dontwantnofritos]

i play piano part in jazz band, shweet song =)

[tflover1221]

im playin the lead tenor part in my jazzband

[antonieb21]

We're playing this in my highschool jazz band, same speed.

[jay9297]

i love the abrupt ending!

[walterqxy]

this is a 6. there is a watered down version that is a 4.

[ratmage99]

we're doing this in jazz band, but it's slower : /

[dinodinojungle1]

cuz ur school band sucks wat school?

[pieindaface]

Does anybody know the difficulty level of this song like medium hard so on.

[XfreeXskierX31X]

the original arrangement is very difficult. You could probably find an arrangement that would be easier though.

[Shieksghost]

JW Pepper has it listed as a Medium-Advance which puts it at a low-middle group 1 song.

The original arrangement, that is.

[ajlaggui]

between medium and hard

[Witch1993]

it's difficult

[freakystyly56]

it's a grade 6

[thecrusade08]

its a level 5 out of 6. so pretty hard.

[perrybdk03]

The ending reminded me, the first time we played this for a semester concert, a few of the trombones let their slides fall all the way off at the end, nothing like ending with 3 or 4 clangs in the middle of the campus center.

[perrybdk03]

I loved playing this song in jazz band, lot of work but it was worth it! :D

[sierrrais14]

I would kill to be in this saxophone section. Literally. Or even for lessons by them, lol <3

[edmondssax]

agreed lol

[mahboy08]

I agree with you on that one! haha

[synyster52]

what i love about this freaking band is it's like the dream team of musicians on the leads lol. you have eric marienthal on lead alto, andy martin on lead trombone, and thee mr. wayne bergeron on screaming lead trumpet lol

[clevoguer]

I agree, except Dan Fornero plays lead on this chart here...nice to spread the work about a bit :)

[saxtom1]

[RJones306]

[elektric8]

[ngbulldog]

[Witch1993]

I LOVE THIS SONG TO FREAKIN' DEATH.  It's the best when Badger Jazz Ensamble plays it though. :)

[freshmenfanatic]

[jacotrumpet]

[sammyc816]

[robin17171]

i played this song at Donner Mine Music Camp their jazz band

[crazymusicalpanda]

ah finally some gordon goodwin stuff and not some crappy tech college re-doing his great work!

[RockandRolRadio3]

Whenever I hear this song for some reason I see Sammy Davis Jr. saying "Hows it goin' all you hep, swingin' cats."

Lol I love this song. Its a good song to dance too.

[imryan321]

awesome

[GoUtes92]

Count Bubba. Count Bubba's Revenge. Both master pieces.

[samfreemanwatford]

just watched it again, i under-rated it last time. its awesome. sooooo tight and such good writing.

is this the original though because on the recording, there are no the solis?

[lbeaudb]

original has solis...i'm pretty sure...but i'm no expert

[Trombone1991]

the original most defionatly had the solis... it is the same arrangement.

[syyylo]

Awsome!!!!!

[Wryn9393]

augh! best song ever! we're playing an arrangement of this in our jazz band./ of course, much much easier!

[itsmehereandnow]

were playing the same arrangement but we have the orginal too

[itsmehereandnow]

I love this song gordon even came and played with our jazz band last year

[dteeter24]

Wow ! What a trumpet section. Who are those cats??? More CD's - Please.

[Trombone1991]

they are:

Wayne Bergeron- 1st

Dan Fornero

Bob Summers

Dan Savant

[dteeter24]

Hey ! Thanks for your infromation.

[Saxman8401]

Actually if you look carefully, specifically the trumpet feature part at 5:50, you'll notice that Wayne isn't playing lead on this tune, its Dan Fornero.

[TrpTguy342]

You're an idiot or you've just never played this tune before. Just because Dan looks like hes trying alot harder doesn't mean he's playing lead. And also, on this tune, the other trpt parts have the lead line at moments.

[Saxman8401]

Ok. Very "maturely" put. However, I played lead on this tune not 3 months ago, I have absolute pitch (and obviously know fingerings) so I can tell who's playing what, he's standing in the lead position, and this is all besides the fact that in the GG excerpt book it says that Dan plays lead on this tune. I did not say Wayne wasn't amazing, just that Dan deserves proper recognition. (I play trumpet AND saxophone, hence the name)

[gotmilk1289]

I can confirm that. I also have perfect pitch and know trumpet fingerings. I can tell that Dan is playing lead. Also, does it seem to anyone else that Gordon Goodwin is not as good at improvising live as he is on the albums?

[MushuPork13]

Sounded fine to me.

[elektric8]

Wait really? Cos i have it too and yeah, i have a lot of albums, and he is better on the albums.

[MushuPork13]

Ooh, congratulations. God you are so stuck up. You're good, that's nice, so are a lot of us.

[spencetpt]

No You are the idiot, Dan does play lead on this tune and the earlier Count Bubba...I went to a concert where Gordon even said that Dan was playing lead on this

[xereas]

Yeah Wayne's my hero... I play lead trumpet for my college jazz band. We played Backrow Politics last semester and were playing Count Bubba in the next concert. Every so often I think I'm doing pretty well, then I listen to the original recording and I'm reminded how far off I still am...

[thedirtysanchez]

man how i love jazz/swing. we played this in jazz band, but much simpler, and definantly not as good. haha way good quality though.

[Crazilus]

Yeah the bass bone is pretty good, but the Bari Sax dude is pretty solid too.

[thebassbone]

well you cant hear the bone as well as the bari sax cause he isnt miked

[Sopransaxman23]

Ive been watching this Since June of 2005.. I just think thats funny.. Gordon does great on his solo. he good at this Swing Shuffle

[samfreemanwatford]

i much prefer count bubba.

[Laanen]

The Bass Trombone is Craig Ware, yes he is a GIANT !

[thebassbone]

man that bass bone

[OjAiSaXpLaYeR]

Cool concert

[newkd]

my jazz band owned the crap out of this song. a much simpler version though.. :(

[ra7xislifej]

1:30 - 2:55.

best part of the song.

[WalexDarsh69]
