Royal High School's Director's Band performing Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band arrangement of Count Bubba at the 2008 Royal Jazz Festival. Soloists include: Ricky Luchesse on Trombone, and Jack Lienhard on Trumpet.
Great job at playing through this, gotta give props, not many high school jazz bands can pull this off. Just a few side comments though...
This piece needs to swing more though.The bass has to walk his bass line otherwise it gets boring, dynamic contrast and phasing also need to be fixed. You can't have your lower parts sticking out more than your leads, and if they are going to stick out more, then they have to be in sync with each other.

Great job though, hope to hear new stuff soon!
