I remember being in the audience for this concert, being probably 12 and in the 6th or 7th grade. Seeing Dave play live was what made me know I wanted to pursue music for a living.
A few years ago I sat in with a reading band. I was asked to play the solo chair. I had solo after Dave for 2 hours. It was a miserable night. Lol. No matter how good I sound, he’s Dave steinmeyer.
Totally awesome. Dave Steinmeyer is a great player and leader, Brian MacDonald is a true "monster" on lead trumpet, and the band is tighter than two coats of paint. Overall very enjoyable!!
This is so fine, so sophisticated, so filled with energy and explosive expression, written by legendary Jazz pianist Chick Corea, this tune is perfect for a great smokin' big band like the Airmen of Note....who are absolutely flying high while never even leaving the ground !!
Joe and Tyler have GIGANTIC ears, in addition to playing with absolutely no limits. And thank you Mr. Stein-the-man for staying in unbelievable shape!!!! And yay, lead trumpet!!!!
I had the great honor to sub in the Airmen of Note three different times and I have played with Vaughn Nark, Rick Lillard, and Rick Whitehead many times. This band is great and I really love the soprano player. I only know about five guys in this band. Dudley and I went to the same community college in Florida, several years apart, and he is a great guy too. Of course what can you say about Steinmeyer. One of the best.
I was blessed to be able to put together a Big Band made up of guys from the Note, Army Blues, Navy Commodores, other military players and music professionals. It's Swing Machine Big Band, in the DC area. They're all so wonderful to work with. Incredible talent and such nice guys. Pete BarenBregge is our music director. Rick Lillard moved to WV a couple of years ago, and we miss him terribly. He was the Best Man at my wedding, and played Steinmeyer's version of "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" as a solo for our "dance". Incredible.
Bro that bass trombone is SOLID, I’ve watched this probably 1000 times now, this is one of our songs for contest, I’m hoping to get a sound like his one day, considering I also play bass bone
Wow, what a thrilling performance. I first leaned about and heard the AON w/ Dave Steinmeyer as leader in about 1988. They were performing before a packed house in the beautiful setting of Mount Gretna, PA -- in the tented amphitheater. I didn't know what to expect when the family and I went. The effect on me was the same as if a spaceship had landed -- awed. By all means, try to get the "Bone Voyage" album. This was to be Steinmeyer's retirement present from the AF.
2025, e ouvi Spain gravado pelo Dave pela primeira vez em 2006/2007, eu até achei que se tratava do JJ Johnson. Steinmeyer é um gênio do Jazz, não tem o que falar sobre ele, não há adjetivos o suficiente para isso. 🥰🥰
I love this song. Trombone is a beast. But I do have to say the lead trumpet(s) are killing it. Ive heard of taking things up, but you guys did it so well. I'm Jelly. I could never play lead as well as you guys.
Nunca vi nada igual ainda se tratando de trombonista, pois o trombone é um instrumento que pela sua natureza ja é´muito dificil agora imagine fora de sua extensao , esse cara é´o cara mesmo , parabens.
You know, I think your right, they got carried away trying to out do each other in range, but Steinmeyer can & does hit those notes dead on without screeching, elsewhere on the recordings on UTube. I plan to buy some of his records. You want mainline jazz, stick w people like Vincent Gardner, Steve Turre, Jay J. Johnson, Frank Rosolino, Carl Fontana, Trummy Young, Bill Watrous. If you want ultimate, shear beauty in tone, range & emotionally romantic playing to the max, Steinmeyer is the man!
Thank you for posting this, Ironically, I am more of a classical trumpet player, but Dave Steinmeyer has been my favorite Trombonist and I've always enjoyed listening to him when he was the director of the Airmen.
Such an amazing player!! For Dave Steinmeyer fans, I would HIGHLY recommend his album 'Bone Voyage' It's the airmen of note but the trombone section is featured in all of the songs and some featuring Dave soloing. It is INCREDIBLE!!!
Incredibly fine playing gentlemen..BOTH The gentleman on trombone are golden especially in light of the fact one has been retired for 20 years BUT I am sure not retired from music having those kind of chops.....Surprised you did not mention the great AL Jarreau with his great version of SPAIN.
I believe the "Go Jackson" callout after acknowledging Steinmeyer is a reference to Andrew Jackson High School in Jacksonville, FL, where Steinmeyer was a classmate. Yes, the band kids saluted after he walked past in the halls. He was already two sigma out beyond his age peers.

The lead trumpet is SO CLEAN, i can only dream of achieving such a controlled high range.
Yes! Glad to see someone recent is watching this video lol
Brian Macdonald on lead I believe. So clean, so powerful, so controlled, most importantly so musical.
@@biencjBrian MacDonald is probably one of the best lead trumpets to ever live. Kinda crazy.
@@jacobrippethat not recent enough 😂😂
Yep, it's Brian McDonald, the cleanest trumpet I have ever heard
I play trumpet and I know how difficult it is to get that high and he did it on a trombone. Wow. Kudos. They're amazing.

DAVE STEINMEYER IS A BEAST!!!!!THAT'S HOW YOU PLAY THE TROMBONE!!!! LOVE IT!
Totally awesome. Dave Steinmeyer is a great player and leader, Brian MacDonald is a true "monster" on lead trumpet, and the band is tighter than two coats of paint. Overall very enjoyable!!
Stealin "two coats of paint". LOL.
Tasty soprano sax solo
Patrick Murray
Sax power 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Soprano player clean as a whistle 👊
Salt peanuts quote in the solo. Haha
hjsclem12 it never goes wrong hahaha

Woasoooo soo Amazing ❤
Joe and Tyler have GIGANTIC ears, in addition to playing with absolutely no limits. And thank you Mr. Stein-the-man for staying in unbelievable shape!!!! And yay, lead trumpet!!!!
The only time a trombonist has ever been applauded
I'm from Eustis, Florida. I am so psyched to be working with him this week! Thanks for coming to our high school jazz band!
Steinmeyer keeping up with the kid. Amazing solos. loved how they played off of eachother. Wish I was there!

Love the Airmen of Note.
Dave Steinmeyer is such an awesome dude. I had a wonderful time playing with him in UNF's JE1 for a couple of years...
Delicious! "100% Caravan movie sound", I LOVE it !
I got sit next to this great man while he played this tune with the SCC jazz band reunion. Honor of my life!!
5:34 so smooth 🔥
BBBBB wow! today it takes 2 people to play like that. A trombonist and an air traffic controller!!! :)
I confirm. I am both and I can't play like that!
I've been fortunate enough to hear Steinmeyer live and he is absolutely amazing... Love his playing!
Great sound!!!!
Isn’t this the same arrangement from Bill Watrous’ “Manhattan Wildlife Refuge” album? Love it 🔥
Yes.
Yes--by John LaBarbera, brother of saxophonist Pat and drummer Joe.
I just realized this was 14 years ago 😭😭
My favorite song of all time!!!
Look at this sliding, so relaxed and smooth. Dave is tha bro
Dave, a true musician. You will always will be remembered as one of the greats!
Perfection! ❤️
I remember when Bill Watrous first did this arrangement back in '75 with his Manhattan Wildlife Refuge group. It's great!
wow... a true master of control in the upper register.
His sound is so warm🎉
great great sound, masterful.
You still got it Dave..so great.. boy Joe you sure carry on that North Texas sound…angular!
Bro that bass trombone is SOLID, I’ve watched this probably 1000 times now, this is one of our songs for contest, I’m hoping to get a sound like his one day, considering I also play bass bone
Never get tired of listening to this!

Mr. Steinmeyer is incredible. He reminds me of an Oklahoma legend: Doctor Kent Kidwell.
HOLY SHIT ,YOU KNOW DOCTOR KIDWELL

Outstanding
This is my all time favorite songs.
Totally awesome and wonderful. All Stars Music. Thanks you for share!
I got my tone from listening to him one my favorite players. Wish I had is range control!!
Clean and refreshing like a sweet wine Trombone and band.
I was blessed with the extreme pressure of sitting 2nd next to Dave last weekend. What an honor for me! And a hoot on the stand:)
I'm a high school classmate of Steinmeyer. The band kids were in awe already.
3:15 you can see the tenor player casually swap out his reed 😂😂 when you realize you have the wrong reed on
Funny, didn’t notice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Some really great playing there! Thanks so much for making my day😊
Muito, top som maravilhoso que vocês tem.
Great tuning!
Great playing Dave! Loved the double Bb's in 3!
Wow awesome ❤
I love this song. Trombone is a beast. But I do have to say the lead trumpet(s) are killing it. Ive heard of taking things up, but you guys did it so well. I'm Jelly. I could never play lead as well as you guys.

grande maestro !!!!
the playing from the soprano, dave s, and the lead trumpet here are almost robotically good, it's UNREAL!
4:12 casually empties spit valve haha
Tyler Kuebler--damn
my teacher send this to me and it really amazed me……it is sooooooooo great!dreamt to be a trombonist like him!
Never heard anything like this before,amazing man and Band.New fan...
Dave is a BOSS!!! The man is simply magic to the trombone. I am a trumpet player, but mana o'man, he was something else!!
So cool🎉🎉
Good job guys! You rock in the air, land, sea and on stage!!! Super cool stuff there! I love that sax solo!
Oh Boy this arrangement is very striking & the band really moved it along but the three soloist stole the show. Great piece of jazz
Masterful! Thanks for sharing. I have "Bone Voyage," one of my favorite jazz albums by the Airmen of Note!
Finally! A video of Spain!
This? Right here? This is why I fell in love with the trombone
Wow great chart
Fantastic!
Such an amazing player!! For Dave Steinmeyer fans, I would HIGHLY recommend his album 'Bone Voyage' It's the airmen of note but the trombone section is featured in all of the songs and some featuring Dave soloing. It is INCREDIBLE!!!
Beautiful ~ USA
who gave this 2 dislikes you people are mad that was freaking amazing
A couple people were upset about the dad khakis.
4:30 😍 when it totally switches the feel
Excellent trombonist! And, excellent lead trumpet Brian McDonald's.
Born n raised DC means I saw these cats 30 times (plus 3x year over last 5 years - pre covid). As someone else said: tighter than two coats of paint!
Bro that lead trumpet is a monster
Very cool 😂😮😂😂 thanks Dave stenmoyer
It's just awesome! Mega cool! Very beautiful music and brilliant trombonist! Sound - from God!
I don't know why, but I found it funny that, when the soprano sax solo started, the guy just went back and drank a bottle of water.
So tight
Oh My god.This is i listen it first time.wonderful right?
Best big band version of the 'Spain'
Incredibly fine playing gentlemen..BOTH The gentleman on trombone are golden especially in light of the fact one has been retired for 20 years BUT I am sure not retired from music having those kind of chops.....Surprised you did not mention the great AL Jarreau with his great version of SPAIN.
+Lynn Claughton al jarred, the great
what?
You have the same range as dave steinmeyer? video proof!!!
Or perhaps Chick Corea??
Grandioso!!!
Absolutelyfantas

awesome..
I love a good trombone solo!
that articulation on the melody is so hip
Screaming tight, very articulate. Tiny mouthpiece. I use a 6 1/2 al Bach on my April 2 1912 Olds. On my 4b I use a 12 Bach.
I am fortunate enough to own an LP of Airmen of Note Bone Voyage. It is by far my favorite trombone featuring album.
I don't have the LP, but the CD! My favorite, too! Dave Steinmeyer and Rick Lillard together . . . The "Dynamic Duo" of bones!
but who is on lead trumpet?
Brian MacDonald.
Iron Man
