[leesoyoung26]

i remember playing bass for this song, it was sooo much fun! one of the best songs to play

[Chocola127]

"The Lick" at 4:14 XD

[pivoteer556]

I love being a bassist, I wish we would do this song in jazz band so I could have a fun line

[RGestwa]

Just found out were playing this in jazz band.

I am soo psyched.

[thebikerack]

I play bass trombone in this song... it's might good ^^

[timsox6]

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!­!! so amazing. I'm playing that soprano part in my band.

[CrazyWolf48]

I'm lucky. I get to play bass for this song :D

Got to love being bass in a jazz band

[tenorsaxloverful]

1 person is a troll. Who doesnt like this song? It's AWESOMEEEE. And mmmmmm bass trombone :)

[skateboardinguitaris]

Mingus rulez

[myhopesareweapons]

That sax section needs to get it together.

[gloften1104]

awesome chart, my high school jazz band played it and it never got old.

[HannahLynnLove]

DAMN that's some fast double tonguing...

[will42b]

@HannahLynnLove actually those r triplets they would be triple tonguing for



[myhopesareweapons]

@HannahLynnLove it's single tonguing.

[regionboy13]

This is a sick tune, the only thing that bothers me is that the form is just like "Moanin'" and they both have the same kinda feel to an extent. I would like to see the soprano player and the trumpet trade/duel... they both have some nasty chops.

[datejanoheat]

@regionboy13 Mingus did like that ol' G blues...

[ApolyonTheSoulRender]

Amazing! :D

[aaronwa71]

seems like they're playing way too fast!!

[HindsiteTV]

@aaronwa71 nope you're just either listening or playing it way too slow

[manamana1997]

[manamana1997]

[technoditz]

If the word awesome fused with imagination, a jazz bass, and the lights of Jazz Alley, and then exploded, this song would be the result. My blood turns to fire every time I listen to this song. LOVE IT TO DEATH!

[AStudCalledKyle]

This song makes me what to punch someone.

[Ikjasmiaf]

This is original style right here. I dunno why, but it makes me want to Crip-walk aha.

[Gigalpine27]

[BetterThanAThesis]

Interesting that they blow over the minor blues... Is this an original Sy Johnson arrangement for Mingus? Anybody know?

[DAsaxPLAYA]

@814jazzer yep

[imabandgeek87]

[TUBATUBATUBATUBATUB]

I wonder if Haitians actually fight to this?

[firefly09td]

@TUBATUBATUBATUBATUB I kinda sorta doubt that...... just slightly, I'll ask though xD

[321briancase]

if anyone ever gets to play this big band arrangement, DO IT! it's amazing to play

[TUBATUBATUBATUBATUB]

@321briancase at my high school there is Jazz I and Jazz II, I'm in Jazz II this year, (i'm a freshman) but Jazz I gets to play this and moanin, and the arrangements are exactly the same. Next year I am in Jazz I (i already auditioned) and I hope we get to play this.
