That bari solo could cure cancer and I’ve been lucky to meet Eric Richards he is a nice gentleman who is great at trombone making the trombone one note so high heck I don’t even know if they go under the scale once they’re always above it

[AnnoyingTrumpetPlayer]

That first trumpet part is so clean, especially at 2:06 I hope to play this soon

[jrq]

Man, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to play this in high school. Literally a once in a lifetime.

[Saxophone_man]

I can finally find it more easily with out having to go on websites with very bad lags

[spncrprkr]

this is one of the best jazz songs on this entire channel
also that 2nd trumpet is fuckin CRANKING

[wesleydonald]

WOAH!!!! BARI SOLO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Also this arraingment is awesome!!!

[jenkinsfamily]

This a fantastic arrangement, but let's not kid ourselves: this is higher than a grade 4. The high C on the ledger lines in the first trombone alone is enough to bump it up to a 5.

loved playing this song in high school

[backpacking_trombonist]

Fun chart. I was lucky enough to play 1st bone on it what must have been almost 15 years ago. Funny to see it pop up on YT now.

[felixblum]

Which big band is playing on this recording? Does anybody know? Personnel?

[Spookify-wztt]

A day in the life of a fool but if it was a Mario kart track

[kingmoosie]

Real ones know Nathan Menefee had this on YouTube already 🗣️💯

[oliver]

this is so confusing for me but it sounds fun 😇

[emanuelromero]

Buenas cuanto sale el arreglo el solo de barítono esta y las partes de la percusión están gracias

[samuelzackrisson]

the song's name is Manhã de Carnaval btw

[WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

What a weird song. can't tell if I hate, or mildly like it. The harmonies don't really hit, the melodies kind of fall like a waterfall, just consistently phrasing at random intervals. I don't know, didn't really feel that good to me based on the comments saying this is amazing.
