The Clark Terry Big BAD Band "Take the A Train"

[Hillzy8593]

What was that cornet player doing? Was he high or something?

[Thundermonkeyms]

Damn. I don't think its legal for Clark Terry, Byron Stripling, Conrad Herwig, John Campbell, and Branford Marsalis to be in the same room. Too much jazz happening. XD

[kevinherbert]

What a band....helllooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo.....chops plus....think of a freekin' number...........

[WatsonBrosMusic]

Looks like the guy on the cornet may just be a joke or something

[Phattlippz]

@WatsonBrosMusic Maybe he's the club owner. :-)

[PINCHUNO]

what a total dick on the cornet!

[MUSICRTW]

Peter Dowdall sounds a lot like NHOP!

[neody14]

Byron stripling.. whoa~ thats the reason why the trumpet section is Smoking.. :)

[neody14]

Byron stripling.. whoa~

[CaptainJazz92]

first off, killin!

but whats the cornet player standing by himself by the rhythm section doing......?

[queekers]

Young Branford Marsalis in the sax section - cool!

[MrRose2012]

i know that 5th trumpet guy lokkin wierd

[Drworm89]

@MrRose2012 Yeah, I can't figure out what he is doing. It's cool that he's playing a Cornet, but what is up with the strange motions? He's not exactly conducting for the drum solo...If he's playing lead, strange that he would use a Cornet for it, then why would he step away from the Trumpets at one point? To show off?

[msailors]

@Drworm89 he's probably the host of the show. Either way he looks like a huge tool.

[WirlWind494]

@Drworm89 It looked to me like he was making signals to a sound-guy or something.

[MRLOVINGOOD]

This is the first time I've heard Terry's big band.Then didn't make many or very few recordings.I never got a chance to hear them on radio or any means of broadcastings at all.I like what I heard.

[signupandmakemoney]

There are some famous musicians in that band. Sounded great. I love Clark Terry, so smooth.

[jpetchm]

What a great video. That band is tight!

[OscarPetersonFan]

My favourite tune and my favourite fluegel!

[kidfromredbank]

Who's the guy trying to lead the band from the 5th trumpet book?

[sjking92]

very nice. i love this song. my high school small combo did the Real book version of the A train.

[OscarPetersonFan]

Do you have any recording?

[sjking92]

Nah, we only record at concerts, and big band, and for contest tapings. But i wished we did! Our tenor sax, Max Seiden, won the Downbeat Jazz award right after it.

[OscarPetersonFan]

Wow! That's pretty good!!!
