23 May: not particularly a brass fan. 24 May: not particularly a brass fan. 25 May: not particularly a brass fan. 26 May: massive brass fan! (Coincidentally, 26 May was when I discovered Maeve Lander's RUclips channel)
Maeve I just found your videos today. And to say I am blown away, would be the understatement of the year! Wonderful arrangements and great playing. Keep them coming - please.
Wow, Maeve. You totally owned this one - from the initial slide into the solo (0:28) to the swing groove established at (1:10) to the great technical riffs in the flugel and trombone parts (2:07 & 2:35). Some really great playing there. I especially like your improvised solo at 2:42 - it is WAY better than anything that I could have come up with, and added a nice bit of sparkle to the middle section. You pulled off the transition very well at 3:41 leading to some nice solo work on your trombone. A better arranger would have written in some rests here and there to give the chops a break, but you toughed out 6+ minutes of playing (X 5) to bring this to life. Thank you for this gift!
Perfect! I will have to watch this again (but not limited to) in two weeks time because I will be flying the "friendly skies" on my way to Ho Chi Minh City and Tokyo, for a two week holiday. The unmentioned airlines would do well using this interpretation of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Sit back and relax, and enjoy your flight!
Wow! Maeve, even though I'm a clarinetist (currently bass and contrabass) I have to say that that opening was magnificent! This performance gave me chills. I haven't perused your whole book; I'm rationing myself; so please forgive me if I sound ignorant, but have you done any of the pieces that Glenn Miller made famous? Lastly, I love your facial expressions and your smile.
Thanks for listening Andrew. Yes! I'm a Glenn Miller fan so you'll find quite a few of his tunes here. As a clarinetist you may also be able to hear I love Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw - often sneak in a few quotes into other things. Enjoy!
Thanks is the best and most i can say infact for your dedication for best sound and presence and in particular in this work,Maeve.This is something superhuman for me.Respect!
I love all your arrangements, this one is one of the best!
WOW very nice arrangement, since I'm a clarinet player and enjoy playing this, this was very cool, love it
The two people who gave this a thumbs down are curmudgeonly crosspatches who don't deserve that gorgeous glissando!
Maeve,.. You are an amazing talent!
George would be proud. The rest of us jealous.
Ha, Ha, Joe! You said it my friend!
This is brilliant, I especially love the tuba part
It is the fun part, I agree.
Excellent! Effortless register jumps, and good style as always.
Favourite song perfectly done. Many thanks

Haha excellent! Let me know if you need any tips on which model trumpet to buy next week. 😉
