Jazz Experience 2009 UMM - "Things Ain't What They Used To Be"

Duke Ellington's "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" as directed by Joel Vanderheyden from the Summer Jazz Experience at the University of Minnesota - Morris (UMM) on 6/17/2009. This clip features all participants of the four day camp (Maroon & Gold Jazz Groups) plus the musical directors and special guest instructors Byron Stripling (trumpet) and Kenni Holmen (saxophone). This was the last song of a nearly 90 minute concert that closed the camp. Watch for super solos from Stripling and Holmen and a fantastic "throwdown" between Byron and Kenni at the end. These professionals with the help of the students blew the roof off the joint!

I know what you mean. I live in Columbus, where Byron directs the Columbus Jazz Orchestra and he is a hoot.

Good times there. good times. playing with both guest artists was awesome and i couldn't help but admire Kenni for his sax playing. Byron was just as fun to practice with compared to his playing.
