had the pleasure to play in the colorado all-state jazz band with the lead tenor. his name is chris ferrari and he's one of the most down to earth cats i've ever met. even better of a person than he is a saxophonist, and saying he's a beast of a player is an understatement
I have no idea what all of those comments mean but what I do know is here are a group of kids who can really play and It did my heart good to listen and give me hope for the future of our music. Thanks to this whole group from Canada. I am 80 years old but can still appreciate talent when I hear it.

@@ashmaz4811 unless you can snobb with the highest of snobbery I wouldn’t bother opening one’s tiny, tiny lips for even the minusculest of moments you child of unwed parents already engaged to other partners... LOL
@@ashmaz4811 and you sound like someone who’s too confident in your own perceived skill. There’s a study I can’t find (if I could I would love to rub it in your face believe me) that states as you improve in a skill you reach an initial peak of confidence in that skill, then the confidence follows a sort of bowl shape where it dips, reaches a low point, then climbs back up again. I believe you are just reaching the first peak of confidence in your music career, and so think yourself better than everyone because your just so confident in that skill. At some point or another you’ll get humiliated by someone who’s actually learned that skill past the initial peak and your confidence will drop back down to where it should be, your skill will keep improving but your confidence will waver, and hopefully you’ll stop being such a prick at some point
@@Callie_Cosmo you have definitely responded to the wrong person because I was the one who said not to judge so harshly a solo which you could never play 👎 you are the only one who seems an idiot right now
Very surprising arrangement and such excellent soloists playing really meaningful things over Giant Steps. Also kudos to the conductor for allowing the last soloist to perform a candenza on his terms and not cutting him off. It's also great to see how they all really support each other. How great it must be to be part of a group of musicians with this level of support and genuine enjoyment of each other's playing.
I honestly can’t explain the overwhelming amount of joy this video gives me. How are we so blessed and fortunate to listen to such greatness from all that talent on stage!
This was one HELLUVA performance!!! Not only was the musicianship top notch, but you could tell they all loved playing. It showed on their faces and mannerisms. It made the whole show that much better!!!
These are our youth, a group of geniuses capable of achieving whatever great feat they desire. So glad they chose music, and of course the late saxophonist/composer/recording artist/innovator John Coltrane would be very proud to hear his transcendent composition given such a brilliant treatment by master arranger Frank Foster and a world class performance by musicians for whom there are no words to describe what they have demonstrated here for all to see. From what we have heard and seen, we can conclude that they have likely devoted their entire lives to excellence. As brilliant as they are, I feel these young prodigies have yet to reach their fullest potential. Looking forward to hearing more from them.
I love how music transcends culture, race and sex. All humans were represented in this amazing song. Coltrane made this song and you paid tribute. It’s excellent 😢
Absolutely speechless and humbled. These kids have old souls. In music college I remember being told by one of my teachers that jazz is something that has to age like wine and you can't rush the process. Well, this is definitely an exception
This tune alone got me into music school. I would honestly marry this tune. Improvising over this progression is an other worldly experience where you can really work out your subconscious. The feeling is second only to playing Yard tunes. Trane really did something special with the upper harmonic thirds cycle. Isn't A small portion of Steps in the back (can't remember) of the Thesaurus Of Scales And Melodic Patterns (N. Slonimsky)? But don't play better than your sax professor in A Jam in the music hall at music school or you are going to be forced to play Tone-Rows until you have them printed on your eyes.
3:33 I like it when the bass player just gives up on dancing around the chord progression and just plays Eb continuously, by far I think he had the hardest part in the song.
AMAZING!! JUST AMAZING!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Wow GIANT STEPS! More like GIGANTIC LEAPS!! Well done, Frank Foster. Well done, EVERY SINGLE MUSICIAN on that stage! Where are they now?? DO SHARE! We need more!! PLEASE
SUPER talented cats!! Wicked arrangement of the John Coltrane classic.. I'm looking up other FF arrangements..and some of Frank's performances..THANKS for the INSPIRATION

I love the guitarist mouthing his "ba doo ba doo ba doo"s during his solo.
That man was into his guitar. True jazz artist there.
Ok
Yes, what a lovely person he is!
@@Snookbone what are you doing here?
It probably helps with the spacing between notes and making the guitar solo sound more vocal
The drummer was cooking up an evil plan
You misspelled upright bass
While sneaking hahah
He's part of the conspiracy.
Jazz drummers are so smooth.
@@theguy993upright bass guy already has his diabolical plan in play.
Coltrane would've been proud (and the drummer's expression were epic).
Stank face on point
Pretty average
The drummer was edging half the performance
whole*
What's that mean?
Joshua Martinez it mean it was basically about to nut never really got through
The real question though is was he rushing or was he dragging
Greg D. neither
I love the band's faces during each others' solos. They all had the stank face for each other, and rightfully so. They all killed it.
LOL you profile pic! Love it!
@@latinkeys1 Thank you. This shitty photoshop is my own work.
they did..!
7:00 that drummer is making all the faces.
swiskowski he’s totally me when i get into the music
Bass face bass face bass face
@@Callie_Cosmo
Way better than the drummer lmao
the guy on the drums said 😠
I love how the drummer was just enjoying himself for some reason
He was a good player but a big ham as well
Play Jazz, you'll see.
@@markjohnson9485 Nothing wrong with having stage presence
@@chilliecheesecake all the comments on here about the drummer's performance and you pick mine? Lol 😂
Ok

Ted Davies dang, he is in high school, wait are all of them in high school?
Yoshi TheTrombonist all of em
DJCallOfDuty damn nice band
Had the pleasure of playing in Nebraska all-state jazz band with the second tenor cole palenski
you probably wouldn't know but do you have any idea what mouthpiece he uses? he's kinda nuts
First saxophone player was on fire. Channeling that inner - Coltrane!!! Yeahhh!!
So many of us are afraid to get on the front of the beat, but that kid gets it! I definitely need to hit the woodshed.
cole palensky is going places man
The spirit of the licc starts taking him over at 7:37 and you can see the girl laughing behind him
And the trombonist
Lmao, I heard that too
I could hear it too lol
Everybody was feelin this shit
Lic you missed at 53, a subtle one but its there
so disappointed the pianist didn't solo!
You know what happened to Flanagan 🤷♂️
I think there’s a good reason why
@@ig3ntl3man3 he redeemed himself in the 80's when he re-recorded it.
She knew her place.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA
The drummer is the best part of this entire video

Coltrane is sitting on a cresent moon smiling on these fabulous musicians ......
That was really awesome .....!
The dude stanking during the trombone solo is priceless. Empathetic stank. Respect
That drum lick at 1:43 is too good
The Asian guy on the trombone gave me chills. That was great.
Bruh literally just solo after solo, everyone flexing on each other, I love it!
Where is that amazing tenor player now? What a player!
7:05
When chipotle shows you who’s boss.
Side note: that drummer swung his @$$ off. He left zero crumbs on the plate.
4:40-4:53 that run is insane holy
7:07 The drummer clearly had something to say about that sax player but he held it back
7:40 the L I C C
George Russell Music don’t
Fuuuuuck!
Part of it. It's pretty dull lick.
Pure cringe. Only kids play that shit on the bandstand, anyone else just doesnt get hired again, lmao.
actually is this the L I C, because he didn't complete
Madddd respect to the rhythm section. Those cats are clean asf
*Class be like*
Here is your homework: write an improvisation for Giant Steps.
You will definitely know who did not do their homework.
Unless you can even play the written improvisation I wouldn’t speak… LOL

I love how the musicians are gassing each other up during the solos. Awesome energy!
Dam that saxaphone knows what he’s doing
I'm not sure what IT is but they definitely have it. Well done
Probably the tempo. Most bands play it a lot slower than the actual recording. This is damn near on the money.
It’s the faces, literally everyone is just trying to have fun with it.
3:57 that solo its amazing
when i said make me cry they made me depressed. Great Job!!
Absolutely nuts, awesome to see all these young musicians so invested in eachother's art
The sax soloists are killing it. They all are!

Chris Ferrari on tenor saxophone! WOW. Taking off like a Ferrari into that solo. What intonation and expression! AMAZING!
Absolutely speechless and humbled. These kids have old souls. In music college I remember being told by one of my teachers that jazz is something that has to age like wine and you can't rush the process. Well, this is definitely an exception
Drummer had every feeling of the music.
i dont know his name and i have only seen this one video of him, but if someone asked me who my favourite drummer is, this is him

I am the drummer's face all throughout that piece!
This performance just goes to show how so much care and expression can go into music!
This drummer listened to a ton of Tony Williams and Elvin Jones and you know what? It paid off.
3:33 I like it when the bass player just gives up on dancing around the chord progression and just plays Eb continuously, by far I think he had the hardest part in the song.
The comping behind that guitar solo so beautiful
That drummer is everything!! Amazing job kid...
Imagine touring the world with your jazz band!!! Amazing
i like how their faces are so far from how music players be in musical drama shows 😂
The drummer enjoyed this more than anyone else
The drummer at the end LOL
gaijin tokyo i disagree, i feel like this brings new life to a tried and true piece. it sounds different, but that’s the point. it sounds new, fresh.
gaijin tokyo then play it yourself with your friends, these guys killed it, quit hating it because they added their own flare
Munch literally all he said is that it’s not for him, chill tf out my guy
uiop and i agree with you, I too feel like this piece is just better with a regular piano sax drums trio or something, not big band jazz
@@ernestogarcia3193 this sounded very good, but I agree the smaller group on the original is better
AMAZING!! JUST AMAZING!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Wow GIANT STEPS! More like GIGANTIC LEAPS!! Well done, Frank Foster. Well done, EVERY SINGLE MUSICIAN on that stage!
Where are they now??
DO SHARE! We need more!! PLEASE
tenor solo was just absolute beauty
that drummer is playing with straight soul and passion throughout this whole piece!
The drummer was playing solo the whole time in his mind.
That first tenor solo was soo good im jealous
6:04 sounds like a choir. this performance is brilliant
I love the DRUMMER! The second tenor player killed it (tone, execution and feeling)!❤❤❤
Absolutely phenomenal👏
Awesome group. Rhythm section was so tight!
7:37 A good sax solo be like that though.
This is why America is awsome
I love how all of them do faces whenever there's a solo. Im pretty sure most musicians can relate.
That drummer is FEELING IT
I should be doing homework right now.
Haha, same. What am I even doing here
@@cjgreen4331 NO WAY same same
Cant help but tear up with joy watching this. Music is a wonderful thing isn't it.
Those cats just blew me into next week !!!
Absolutely awesome ,was an extreme pleasure to watch 🇯🇲👍🏾🇯🇲
Great performance by young musicians!
The drummer was secretly listening to a dubstep drop while playing
This was such a delight to see! Love seeing young folks be remarkable musicians, especially jazz! ❤️
4:02 my face during this entire performance
That tenor sax solo was amazing!!
the drummer rocks...!!! he's feelin' it..!:))
The Drummer put on quite a performance...the camera loved him...🤔
How could it not lmao
@@Hump007 lol true
Dude that drummer is a badass! Especially interacting with soloists!! It’s almost disheartening to see such a naturally talented individual
That trombone player completely killed it!
I have never seen a jazz live performance, its soo cool how they enjoy and make faces when the others solo!
I like how in the end, when the trumpet played the high note, the tenor followed, and the trumpet played higher. Friendly competition...
Broooo 😭😭 first chair sax understood the assignment 😫 chills
wow badass band...amazing horns section and arrangement
This is a fantastic performance!!!!
SUPER talented cats!! Wicked arrangement of the John Coltrane classic.. I'm looking up other FF arrangements..and some of Frank's performances..THANKS for the INSPIRATION
LOVE the DRUMMER!!! Love the energy all these kids are great!!!
Great performance, great arrangement. Wow!
These young people definitely know how to play! Shoutout to Frank Foster for this great arrangement, miss being in your presence.
Every band teacher: saxes, sit up straight
Jazz: haha, no ❤️
I can’t get over the fucking drummer. I die every time I see him. I’m glad he’s having so much fun
Literally everyone had their stank face on for the entire performance
That drummers face was more expressive than modern art
Great arrangement.The soloists are all great. John Coltrane would have been proud
Super shoutout to keys, drums and double bass!
So much young talent! What a joy to hear.
Holy sh*t!!! This in insanely the edge of music 😮
lol i watched this last year and i didnt even know who sean jones was now im like DAMNNNNNNN
