Harlem Nocturne: Ted Herman's Big Band Live

Emma Reinhart (age 15) performs "Harlem Nocturne" with Ted Herman's Big Band and Orchestra, March 2010

Hello YouTube, this is my first video, so bear with me....
A friend of mine recorded this performance and sent it to me. I apologize in advance for the dull background; this is meant to be just an audio thingamabob anyways. I wanted to keep it as close to the original as possible--that is, I left Mr. Herman's speech on it at the very beginning, which explains a bit about the song about to be performed and how we met. You can, of course, skip ahead! hooray!

This was a great experience for me; the band is absolutely incredible, and I'm so grateful to have had this opportunity! I've improved since playing this tune with them, but I don't think this is too bad, considering there was no tune-up or real warm-up beforehand... I hope you agree; comment please if you have some feedback, I love constructive criticism!

Enjoy! :)

-Disclaimer: This of course is not MY big band, and it is not my own arrangement of the tune. It's just my performance of it. :)
