The Berkeley High School Jazz Quintet: ASAP

[ergoguitar]

Wow.  I wish I had been in this program. Stunning. Keep jazz alive!

[parkouraddiction]

best musician here is definitely the vibraphonist

[TromboneQueen2012]

that is one killer vibes part at the beginning! totally amazinggg and funny too! ^.^

[SIRDOME77]

All of these negative comments!!! YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE REPUTATION OF BERKELEY HIGH SCHOOL!!! THESE KIDS CAN ALSO PLAY BEBOP!! Benny Green, Rodney Franklin, Peter Apfelbaum, Josh Redman, Doc Kupka and Lenny Pickett came from this program!!!

[donotclickonthis]

These kids are basically trying to sound hella proffessional and out, let's hear them play some bebop, if they could manage. The drummer and vibist are good though.

[Metarch]

to donotclickonthis:

Lol u obviously don't know berkeley High, I go there and the berkeley Jazz Ensemble is fkn raw. They could do anything you throw at them

[GuitarCriti01]

well that statement goes both ways considering there are plenty of bebop highschool combos that couldn't "manage" to play like this. They sound even better now to

[Nuxunumo]

high school.... seriously...

vibraphonist is a freak. haha. in a good way of course. KEEP IT UP MAN. :D

[ChronoZINC529301]

holy shit chase jackson is a G

everyone in this band right here is killin'. this is NUTS

[xxshazzmannxx]

Alright, for high school that isn't terrible. Nonetheless, there were some bad solos in there. Trombone solo...ehhh, I nearly barfed. It was basically shit on a plate with no melodic component to it whatsoever. Kid on vibes was good but goofy as shit. The bass player made me laugh out load. He should spend more time playing well than moving around trying to be "jazzy" haha. And what kind of shirt is he wearing? I feel bad for people at this concert, they had to clap only because they felt bad..

[AraguaJam]

XD, very funny your comment, i think the band its ok, but who are to say that the band sucks? have good a better band?

[dylanthebassist]

why does it matter what shirt he's wearing?! I thought they were all crazy good :) His bass solo wasn't great, I agree, but maybe it's just not his forte.

Let's see a video of your band, and then we'll compare!

[Juliagooliaxo]

Sorry to hear you laughed out load...sounds kinda painful :/

[raypizzi]

These kids can PLAY !!! What a bunch of dick-head comments, their ignorance is much less than bliss ! Don't let stupidity affect your devotion. YAY BAND !!! Follow your heart !

[PatrickG18]

I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS!! You know how hard this east coast shit is? haha I wish we were like you. I wanna be but our teacher is our hold back, our problem. We have some sick people too. Nathan, i miss you dude.

[justinricheyBASS]

yeah bass player isn't wack!

he just... has bad posture which make his chops suffer. but that doesnt really account for the lack of vocabulary he has compared to rest of the band.

the band is pretty good though.

[Kcrunchymunch]

You guys make my high school jazz band look like retards

[Zombbg4]

that bass player is wack, solo couldn't get less melodic. sick drummer though and an amazing vibe solo.

[mwljazzguitar]

I agree.

[LeonLeonheart5422]

Mariel is freakin hot as hell O_____O Haha Saw you guys at Yoshis xD Awesome job =]

[QBCNetwork]

Cool performance! Didn't know you also wrote songs playing the vibes!
