Title: bobman37 Jazz Concert
Post by: bobman37 on December 04, 2008, 10:21:05 PM

We played this gig a couple nights ago. I'm on lead trumpet, to the left of the long hair trumpet. It's 40 minutes long, but you can let it buffer for a bit and skip the talking. The songs are (in this order):

Rhythm of the Masses
A Matter of Time
Moanin'
Mr. Pinstripe Suit
Honk

Sounds 500% better than anything I've ever heard my high school put together!

We pride ourselves in the talent of our music program. Our marching band has won state twice in the last four years, and marching band in this state is really competitive.

Yeah dude, that's some pretty great stuff. I was diggin' the bari sax in that one tune (Moanin'? It didn't sound like Moanin' to me but maybe the arrangement obscured it).

Yep, Moanin'. Charles Mingus. There's a lot of improv going on throughout the song, so sometimes it's hard to hear the motifs.

I think the bari sax in Moanin' and the bass guitar in Honk are my two favorite instrument parts for that concert.

Oh, weird. The Moanin' I'm familiar with was done by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. I see Mingus's tune is a completely different piece.

You guys are pretty excellent. Thanks for sharing your talent.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, is the guitarist playing an Ibanez Artcore AG-75? That's what it looks like.
