[qdogbondo]

the Sax's are the only ok

 part

[goemon654]

:) im very impressed for something you guys did for the fun of it! very nice job!

[magicmike51093]

[DEEPJUNGLES]

TANK LIVES mufuckaz!!!

No one will read this because this video is over two years old but.. we did this for fun, not really as a showcase of skill or anything. I don't think we ever had a practice where everyone showed up, most of the time it was like 5 or 6 of us just messing around. Not an excuse, but we didn't practice as much as we could have haha.

Also, our string bass and bassoon were basically sightreading and one of our trumpets was a baritone horn! Still, it was fun.

I fear you guys lost me on this version. There's a high school band with a video on YT called EHS Jazz Band that you should look at. They play Tank! slower but they hit the marks better.

ABC sounds more like a marching band and less like the gripping jazz that Kanno was aiming for.

Criticism aside, I'm glad that you gave it a try. If it takes anime soundtracks to get kids into jazz, I shan't complain.

[darknipple]

i hope you don't mean THS, because that band sucks.

[darknipple]

oh i found the video you meant. it's still pretty bad.

[Demosthenes6666]

In the case of THIS particular OST, it actually worked the other way around for me. I watched Cowboy Bebop originally because I heard Yoko Kanno was composing.

[FREEDOMPRODUCTIONS11]

Eeeeh... The "anime" isn't for kids... at least, not Cowboy Bebop...

But I agree with you...

[sourge7]

HAHAHAHAHAH! i almost fell out of my chair laughing. i just watch the EHS version and they did terrible (i'm not saying that they should have done as well as the ORIGINAL since that was a recording, but why play the song if you can't play it?).

[biskwikman]

This is really cool, especially how it was at a band camp, you guys probably got like, 5 blowjob as a whole after this.

[monkey0271]

where would we get the trumpet notes for this

[MagicRaistlin]

Teh internets i found it cant remember though.

[rattler0709]

please work on articulation. what are the trumpets doing back there? dont play masato hondas solo please. especially the altissimo bro. try working on tritones and scales with articulation tongue two slur two etc.

[SkepticalMouse]

I wouldn't take this so seriously, man. Hah it was just for fun.

[cwsectionleader]

are you kidding me? i doubt you could do better. if you post a video of yourself or you in your jazz band doing better, i'll eat my words but for now, like skepticalmouse said, it was for fun. leave them alone.

[FortunateAzN]

lol sorry this was really bad

props for trying though

[lynth]

The best part of this song is the saxophone.

It's also the hardest, though.

And it's always a pity if it's not played well like in this video. :(

Practice more, jazzman!!

[Meowmiks]

ooooh... there was a hint of a marching drumline in there back. cooool that was a good touch

[roseille]

yeesh.

[nappyharedazn]

Chris was so damn loud . . .

[davidkershain]

lol i love you guys too

[LinnCaj]

Ech...it was okay. When they started to play at first, I had no idea what it was. After the voice, it started to come together...

[KlassyKamikaze]

If you're going to play Masato Honda's transcribed alto solo, at least do justice to it by playing it well.

[Meowmiks]

I here that.

[coolair2545]

I LOVE YOU KNAAAAKKK!!!

[craigdurst]
