    As a band director/conductor I trained kids to play symphonic quality literature, and win many awards. However, my students were never exposed to this kind of jazz. These musicians are awfully well trained, and are beyond intelligent. These kids are now finishing degrees in many fields with great success. Bravo Issaquah High Band. Your leader is quite a ⭐️

    The trumpeter could not hit the very high notes of Cat Anderson. That is very difficult. A very goof performance otherwise. Take a bow. You are a great band. You have brought out the essence of Duke Ellington.

    • @pippottopazzo
      @pippottopazzo 3 года назад

      This performance has nothing to do with Ellington's "Rockin' in Rhythm " original classic. The global sound of the orchestra is very weak and apathetic , and the musicians as soloists try to do their best but they did not succeed . Surely Winton Marsalis ' Orchestra plays Ellington 's masterpieces in a better way , a lot better .... Mount Si High School Jazz has no swing, musicians do not play "vibrato" or "glissando" as the original members of Ellington Orchestra did, and - finally - the pianist hasn't got the "heavy" left hand of Duke Ellington... come on boys... get back home and try to listen 24h a day, for 7 days a week, the entire 1956 Newport Concert and then try to play again Ellington 's tunes ...

    How does it work in USA? In my country, there is a conservatory for students after elementary school, after like 3 years at conservatory they would be able to play like this maybe MAYBE. Are those students from music high schools or are they just musicians at normall high school? Its fking crazy how they play and they look very young.

      This is a public high school jazz band from a small town about 35 miles east of Seattle. Many of these kids started playing in the 6th grade middle school jazz band, and most are Sophomores and Juniors (10th / 11th graders). My son (Conner Drake) is the pianist and he was a Sophomore at the time.

      The piano is self-developed ideas, the result of A LOT of listening to the pros (and similar recordings). No transcriptions, but it could be a good exercise for a student to transcribe this (and the pro recordings!!) --a 2015 band member

But Duke struggled a lot to convince Hodges to take part to the team...Hodges told Ellington he was not ready to play in the orchestra...because he didn't feel to be ready...he felt he had yet to study and learn...!
