Who this is amazing! I also have a video just uploaded of me and my high school jazz band playing this at our MPA! Check us out please! You guys are amazing!
this song is awesome, we are playing it in the high school jazz band i am in and we arent even close to this, it has suck a different score and sound but after we saw how it goes we have been able to just build up but still we always need the soprano and clarinet parts
sam white? tim victor? oh mano...this is great. I wonder if Herm will see these comments before the show.... (Tim..it's charlie. Sam White...I'm one of the trombone players.)
Great chart and a smokin' band! I'm supposed to play this at an upcoming college big band reunion and wanted to give it a listen beforehand and was really glad I found this fantastic rendition. Loved that red-hot trumpet solo and especially liked the exotic approach taken on the soprano solo! Very original. Thanks for posting.
Well I'm one of the bassists in the ensemble but I won't be playing on this tune when you're here. Just learning it so I can rehearse with the ensemble when our other bassist isn't available...
I rememer like a decade ago in high school Jazz Band, our Director decided to do this piece. Though ours was a tad slower. One of our players was Indian and when he went back to visit family over Christmas that year, he managed to come back with a Sitar for our troupe.
Great one! I've listened to the Thomas Gansch Big Band's "Tribute to Don Ellis" at the Porgy & Bess on last Wednesday. It was unbelievible amaaaazing! At least one of the drummers in the video, Uwe Breunig, has been playing in that awesome Thomas Gansch Big Band too! Thx for sharing!
yea, could possibly even be the use of dissonances. 2nd chords and the like. But I agree, it sounds good because it IS in tune. it just sounds weird because of the chords used.
It's not "out of tune"...They were tuned a quarter tone apart...One of Don's spacialties was a mastery of the se of quarter tones and the quarter tone trumpet.

A very good version of Don Ellis tune!

I love Don Ellis! Great job on a wonderful composition! More people need to study and play his wonderful charts.

it's a fact that, the longer you listen, the more it sounds good. Youre eyes are not used to sutch a sound.
Great trumpet solo also

The soprano section together sounds out of tune. Maybe that was intentional but wow...

GANSCHEE'S THE MAN!!!
He has become one of my favorite players. His playing here is very relaxed even with the odd meter. He gets it!
