[coltoncrawfordjazz]

Dancers are LAAAAAAME!!!!

[907867yt]

I played this in 9th grade. I had the Trumpet Harmon trio at the begininng. At tempo. Dang that song was fast and hard, but i played nearly perfect, what a fun song!

[SMfan199]

The dancers really need to just fuck off already.

[WaynesvilleRC]

I wonder if gordon pays loud, obnoxious guys to come and laugh hysterically at all of his shows.....

[tambourDOM]

I can't believe they showed the dancers during the trading 4s

[tr0mpwned]

haha i like watching sal react to brian's solo

[enzo321]

8:34 Sweet Georgia Brown reference?

[dyshilton]

@enzo321 the song is based off of "Sweet Georgia Brown" good ear

[TMRPalatine]

Somebody, please shoot the goddamn dancers.

[GraphicParty]

"Let's bring out dancers, that would be a good idea.." Jeez. We came to hear this phenomenal band, not see dancers.

[natbrain]

I feel like those dancers take away some of the attention away from the band. They shouldn't be there, i mean, if you're gonna put dancers, at least don't put them IN FRONT of the band so that they block the band...the show would've better if there weren't any dancers so that all the attention could be focused on the band all the time. They are the reason the people came to see the show. They came to see the band, not people dance

[stevebul]

This is my favorite of the bands tunes, just good old fashioned straight ahead swing. How close can you get to '' Sweet Georgia Brown '' and still be a new song. I agree on the dancers, what purpose do they serve at a big band concert, except to distract. They wouldn't make it on Dancing With The Stars.

[Waligi2345]

Andy Martin is such a beast!

[972driftking]

those trombones in the beginning were smokin'

[benjaminhenke]

dont get the point of havin dancers there. they are not even performing well, it seems like the two guys are afraid of their madames :D :D :D

[DeltaBluesGuitar901]

I love jazz, you can play in any key and it sounds great xD

ALL HAIL MODEL KEYS!!!! :D

[SherwoodBSPLYR]

Love the "Bolivia" quote on the bass chair during the intro, smokin'

[thekingofkong239]

i look over at andy a couple of times when he's not playing and all i see is him giving the camera an angry glare....

[TrumpetFetish]

The Dancers suck!!!

[bootsieginger]

Has anyone notice how you can hum the melody to "Sweet Georgia Brown" to "Swinging for the Fences"? Cool or something else?

[McLarenMercedes8160]

I hate the dancers, no offense. They just ruin everything I dont see why Disney hires them.

Why cant we just have the band alone?

[djmatitan]

4:32 is freakin orgasmic

[sfan1]

@djmatitan, Brian Scanlon is my saxophone teacher!

[daviderato]

Burnin tempo! The flute part is usually played by Sal, I wonder why Jay played it?

[brunogebarski]

Fabulous, easy, laid back, comfortable and stressless! Those cats are not good they are superb! What a band: my favorite big band in town right now! I keep on repeating myself! Sorry! BPG

[DasBullWy]

Man.. Andy Martin shreds.. so good

[AndyMartinfan]

i love watching the guys in the band while andy solos. (sax section, specifically eric marienthal and driskill, and then the bones francisco, and craig.) They just have the expression "frick man"

[texasboy613]

Yeah!! I noticed while watching this video that Jeff Driskill sounds somewhat like Michael Brecker!

[uthspawn12]

the only bad thing about this video....Andy martin is still using the yamaha :/

[AndyMartinfan]

@uthspawn12 why is that a bad thing?

[Bigphatman87]

Killer solo from Driskill

[Vitruvian42]

Those poor dancing couples. They should have warned them beforehand that they were being filmed.

[1WFE3]

I love The Big Phat Band and being a young jazz trombonist I look up to the trombone section of this band. Though I just find it odd, something about the trombone section does seem right to me. They're amazingly good but when one of them solos or just any time their articulation seems a little weird to me.

[uthspawn12]

@1WFE3 trombonists do that sometimes. it's the classic trombone solo "sound" that just makes it good. like andy martin, one of the best bone players in the world. if everything was the same then it would start to be a little bland after a while :) i play bone too

[1WFE3]

@uthspawn12 Yeah! Just thought so.

[TrombonePlayingGiant]

The playing was amazing, the dancers totally sucked. The one couple towards the beginning look like they're being electrocuted.

[stevebul]

This is not dancing with the stars who wants to see people dancing in front of a great big band that's playing in the background. They are not even dancing that well to begin with. One of the best , swingingest, big bands out there.

[saxtom1]

Awesome tune wats the name of the older saxplayer?

[BearHogan]

@saxtom1 Huh? They are all about the same age .. do you mean Sal Lozano?

[ianidinuse]

they're dancing in front of the band. obstruction ?!

[AndyMartinfan]

absolutely insane trombone playing

[trombonechops]

Andy Martin's chops always amaze me!
