Critical Mass

[NicksParodies]

@FeelOurJolt so is ours!! High five for jazz! Were also playing this for a middle school jazz band. It's not hard

[KNIGHTMAREMANIAC]

Bari baby 

[TheMaster9583]

Trumpet.

[FeelOurJolt]

I play bari sax for middle school and were playing this!! <3

and btw it doesnt even take a high school band. our middle school jazz band is one of the top in the world. legitly.

[1bassmansam]

Yeah man that's one funky bass right there. But why cut the solos that's one of the best parts.

[reaper2963]

Hey Lordi, my high school band is playing this flawlessly and I'm the lead Bari. I'm also a freshman! Get on my level

[mr32ish]

@reaper2963 lead tenor, freshman, used to be lead bari but more than one was too many for our band

[reaper2963]

@mr32ish My point is that it doesn't take a College band to play this song, that a high school band can play it and play it damn well with a freshmen majority :)

[mr32ish]

@reaper2963 well said, no song takes a college band to play

[fbranstetter]

@reaper2963 my high school played this and i played bari on it! MY FAVORITE JAZZ SONG EVER!!!!

[Nodes805]

Sounds like my ass singing for 4min ;)

[Lordi767]

Pasadena City College Studio Jazz Band is playing this song as our closer.

[thisisnotdom]

Why were the solos cut out? It sounded pretty awesome.

[GotsItGoinOn]

soooo much swag

[DrZigglett]

We played this two differnt years when I was in high school, once on bass and once on the bari. I can

[Sm00thJAzzer]

WE ARE PLAYING THIS FOR UPCOMING JAZZ CONCERT ^.^ doesnt this sound like it would be played on the weather channel?

[gome5000]

@Sm00thJAzzer im in your class. i play guitar. you stole that "weather channel joke" from mr biles haha

[NitroXplode]

@gome5000 Fail, as I do as well. >_>

[WolfStorms44]

wish i played a bari sax...

That comes from a trumpet player...

[CornbredJr]

@WolfStorms44 i play bari sax. ...

[WolfStorms44]

@CornbredJr well then I envy you good sir.

[E333999]

@WolfStorms44 wish I played a bari sax... coming from a pianist :P

[bubblebath88]

in 2003, my cousin's school band played this and i loved it…i kept the title in my head all this time to look it up later and never did … throughout the years, it would come to me to type it in, but i'd always find something else to play instead…i finally gave in and i can't believe i waited this darn long to play it!! LOVE IT!! ALL OVER AGAIN! <3

[byrnz35]

brass kicks ass!

[byrnz35]

2 people? what the hell is wrong with you?????

[motomonko1]

played this for the parkland high school jazz ensemble, we have 2 bands and the one bari couldnt make it so i was her replacement, we got the highest rank both nights when i played bari for them, and im in the lower band haha gotta love knowing how to play all saxophones:)!!!!

[steelers1337]

God I miss this song, 8th grade 1st jazz band. We played this for a jazz festival, 1st place baby. I was on bari!!!!!

[ratkfizzle]

apparently the two people who disliked this video must be fat...and therefore thought the title of the song was a fat joke! XD

[BandGeekXP]

@ratkfizzle Ha! that just madde my day  XD

[outcastpercussion24]

The drums are SICK in this piece. Nice slow Isaac Hayes groove. Got some swing elements. And the slap bass, with the nice funk riffs, out of sight. OVerall, rhythm section gets 20 thumbs up!

[kulty94]

aaaaannnnndddd this is why i love playing bari sax



[CriticalMass1997]

jeff davis is a fucking fagg he stoll my band name

[TheBiiiiGTiiiiME97]

its wierd. last year in jazz(liberty jazz band) we played this and i never fully learned how to play. now this year i've almost mastered trombone and i'm first chair. I WANNA LEARN TO PLAY IT NOW. to bad the copy i had wuz an original. now i'm searchin for the sheet music.

[jwranson]

@TheBiiiiGTiiiiME97 Good luck at that "Mastering the Tromboine" thing. Maynard Ferguson played trumpet his entire life and never claimed to have mastered it.

[lazorzez]

i'm 1st chair tenor sax, this song kicks ass

[3qzrw41]

just rocked the shit out of this on drums at the kimmel center

[TheSJRubio]

At first we got this song at school..;it was sick..then we overplayed it, song became boring to play...but then i listen to it again...AWESOME :D

[mokimoki72]

2 people got a little too critical.

[lucaminsha]

open new tab, go to the endlessvideo site, find this video, relaaaaax~

[Blitzkrieg47]

Bari Sax FTW!! The part is SO much fun to play!!!!!!!

[Williamshomevideos]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[ranger2l]

Going to play this at Disney Wold in MArch :D GO THAT ALTUS JAZZ BAND

[Scottfanalltheway11]

Slap bass. (: our school jazz band just sight read this today!

[NothingAtAllXD]

Playing the guitar on an Ibanez Artcore to this! Great song just find the right voicings

[itsashaunparty]

sure, the trumpets are sexy, but what's even sexier is that man's voice at the end.... mmmmm, when he says, "medium difficulty level." wow.

[WolfgangRavenna]

I remember playing this song for my Jazz Band. Sure, i was only 3rd Trombone, but i still loved it. The rest of the band, not so much, but then again, we played Frankenstein and Poco Loco, so i can't complain.

[uembbandgeek2]

@WolfgangRavenna i played this in an all county jazz band, and i also played third ( i tried out on bass, but missed that. I was still better then most trying out so i got in anyway :D) Jazz like this is just fun to listen too even if you have a boring part. It only works is you have an awesome bass player though

[JTNorquay]

If you play Bari. You're probably listening to this song right now. Just like I am!

[chrismaster234]

Love that Bari Sax solo at the beginning.

[joshacousticmusic]

Love playing the slap bass:)

[JDJeffery]

This was my favorite tune out of all the songs we played in my 2 years of Jazz Band!

[MaryahRocks]

hahah man the BARI SAX OWNS this song hehe : D

[andyauyong]

can the trumpets get any sexier?

[DrZigglett]

@andyauyong no, they can't

[Flowermeister]

@andyauyong  Don't you mean that sexy baritone sax at the begging?

[SeefuSefirosu]

@Ackamoracca No, it's a funk tune, which has swing qualities to it. Funk still has swing, it just uses it differently. This tune swings on the sixteenth note, and to wit, swing means more than just what people use it as.

[guitarplayaLORD]

this song is SOOO good, my favorite jazz/funk song ever!

[ateliermeijer]

great song!

I'm playing this one too with Pete's corner bigband!

[Ra1ndrop2469]

i love this song... too smooth

[Jeromefromnome]

best part is when those trumpets kick in to complement the bari, they just sound so rich.

[Jeromefromnome]

awesome song, i play bari and we have this song in my jazz band.

[normzippy]

the bari part on this song is awesome (coming from a bari player)

I can't seem to find this song on iTunes tho... anyone know where else i can get a recording?

[henderson26Ayee]

@normzippy You should be able to get one off Kendor Music it's a site to get the actually music but it has a MP3 download because i downloaded it to my phone lol We get to play it for Jazz band this year and i'm a bari player too xD

[TheBiiiiGTiiiiME97]

hecka.i hear the elctric piano in the back. im playin this in jazz band and its TIGHT

[MrRecon1234]

Yo this is so tite i jst had a jazz concert tonite and we played. it. i play Bari of course. i had trouble wit it at first then i jst beasted it tonite

[dannyrobot1062]

Played 1st trumpet on this for jazz band in highschool.loved it!haven't got a song as funky as this one yet.

[SeefuSefirosu]

I think there are still huge problems with this recording, no matter where it came from. It could definitely swing more... I need to put together a band and re-record it :D

[Ackamoracca]

@SeefuSefirosu it's not a swing tune

[hawaiiboy507]

i play lead trumpet in jazz at my high school and we just got this song today! It's SOOOOOO AWESOME!!!

[nicodemus95]

@hawaiiboy507

KAWEO!!! ITS NICK 2nd trombone, agreed, this song is kickass

[AsianInvazian]

Played 1st alto for my high school band and soloed. One of my fav songs

[Slapbass7991]

This is the best version of this song i have ever heard. Its so funky.

[MrMec3]

i love this song and honk but honk is like the watered down version of this

[BetterThanAThesis]

This song is sooo much fun to play. It has really high notes for the bass trombone part though...

[DbzVisual]

Can anyone tell me the chords on the solo section for Trumpet?

[freshsebs74]

Lets see I played this song in my Jazz Band as 3rd and 4th Trombone transposing playing with a French Horn

[jayjae93]

woooow thats awesome! i play first trombone in my top jazz at school and this song is so much fun to play!!!

[lumb317]

[sportsfan2123]

Played this song my sophomore year as first tenor and had a solo. Definitely one of my favorites! I'm a fan of the West Coast funk style... and Jarvis is just an awesome composer/arranger.

[mavic4143]

Playin Tenor for jazz band =] gotta love this tune

[fathersaturn]

Wow this song is great i play Tenor 4 this one... But for the other songs i play bari. this is a great bari tune but my director didnt let me do it :(

[andy0318]

[PINHEAD276]

all soul...love the jazz man

[MrStretchman09]

im playin this song 4 jazz night!! and im lead trumpet

[legolasgirl456]

why on earth did dkn29 cut the sax solo?!?!?!

love the chart, though!

[Hoser101]

He didn't cut it, it's like that when you download the MP3 from the Kendor Music web site. Some songs have random cuts in them. It's a shame really, jazz solos are fantastic.

[dkn29]

I first played this song in 2001 (yes Bari) and have heard this generic version for years, you think I haven't wanted to hear the RAD sax solo?!

[JoeInNorcal]

@legolasgirl456 This is the publishers demo studio recording from Kendor Music

[Persillebalzm]

Anyone played the other composition by Jarvis - High Octane?

[branflakes442]

I Love the 1st trumpet part and the bari part is sweet 2

[Flcracker94]

[branflakes442]

[bigben4]

I love this song. I ituned(sp?) and i could not find a jazz version like this to save my life. Does anyone know of an artist on itunes that has this version? I already tried Jeff Jarvis
