I'm really intrigued by this band. How come I haven't heard of them before? Out of all the big bands I've listened to recently, this ensemble have the best performance, guest selection, and song choice. Their quality is so good, it could even warrant a live album. It's a shame that I can't see them live in person. I hope the RUclips algorithm can recommend some of their videos.
Hello. We are a local/Dallas big band that flew artists in to live record. Initially, tracks were going to be part of a live album to sell. Instead, I thought it would be fun just to post that audio with video from each of the 25 live sessions for all to enjoy. I learn something from each video we posted. Hopefully, others will, too. Enjoy!
@@RAJEJAZZ Thank you for sharing these recordings with me. Even if a full live album were to be released, I would have still wanted to purchase it. The performances of this band are truly outstanding and will remembered as one of the best in big band history, thanks to the excellent guest appearance and song selection. They really couldn't have been any better.
This is not his band, this is the rebel alliance out of Dallas. They can absolutely cook! They used to meet at buzzbrews in deep ellum every Sunday night. Don’t know where they play now or if they do. When they aren’t hosting epic guests, here’s a hint: the shorter blonde trumpet player on the far right is the reason there is very little paint left on the interior of buzzbrews. Dude can make bats fighting in a microwave sound like low notes. Also the taller trumpet player 2nd from left is Donnie and he runs the band and can destroy lead on just about any chart you put in front of him. I think he enjoys getting other lead players to sit in when he brings guests because he is also trying to run the rehearsal/recording/concert plus he’s in charge of all of the live emergency mouthpiece customizing or modding. Works for me because we get to see lead players from around the country we wouldn’t normally see or have exposure to. It’s like he knows what he’s doing, maybe, probably not, but definitely. 😂
you can watch the best music here for free in good audio quality and you are here complaining about the video quality. So go there and film it better for us.
And now... Herbert L. Clarke's The Maid of the Mist played by Louis Dowdeswell on cornet. Live. Not. But, I dare you - followed by many other Clarke solos, yes??? Let's hear it. I think you can do it, Louis.
How in the WORLD does he hit those screaming high notes so effortlessly????
First tim I have seen him and the band. Not the last.

@@RAJEJAZZ agree the band sound super tight. How do you get funding to fly all these incredible players in?
@@awreckingball by working a lot of hours.
Dallas is near Denton which is the home of UNT which is the hottest big band program on the planet. Creates for a pool of unreal players.
Louis has never sounded better! Hope I can hear him and the band live some day...
Best Musicants💥💥💥
Louis -Super Bomb🎺💥⚡🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Incredible...
Wow - everything Louis plays is so effortless !
This ensemble is really top notch.
Sure be nice to have the band members listed, they truly deserve the credit.
That's a good idea. On FB, members are tagged, but I can start listing musicians here.
I’ve known this arrangement for years and I’m still in awe
Incredible tune written for trumpet 🐬
Loving this guy's thank you
Man these are all killin!! Damn!
Damn Louis!!! Mad control bro, and effortless. You’re a master for sure.
wow, that drummer is phenomenal!
sooooo whys he conducting and playing crazy notes at the same time... absolute masterpiece!!
prob because hes the soloist and the band needs someone to conduct for time changes
Impressionnant... et tout en détente. Bravo!!
Spettacolare come Louis suona queste note sovracute senza sforzo veramente un campione.
와우 최고예요 goooooood!
D7 on fire baby! Always love listening to Louis and his band. Good work chaps!

Usually I think of other things when some talks about Double D, but this is just as exciting, honestly. 🌡🔥
To bad that the whole session has been recorded with a calculator from the 80s instead of using a modern mobile phone. 🤦♂
I mean at least the audio quality is top notch🤷♂️ totally agree about the video quality though lol
you can watch the best music here for free in good audio quality and you are here complaining about the video quality. So go there and film it better for us.
If you have seen how well it went for the guy recording on a mobile phone. This is a huge improvement
Louis was on fire that night
Ain't no music like live music.
This dude can play!
The alto solo is very tasty
Bruce for the win 🐬
I like Louis's conducting. It's very, "it gets the job done and I don't give a f$#@".
Great flugel cadenza 🐬
And now... Herbert L. Clarke's The Maid of the Mist played by Louis Dowdeswell on cornet. Live. Not.
But, I dare you - followed by many other Clarke solos, yes??? Let's hear it.
I think you can do it, Louis.
When does Rebel Alliance Jazz Ensemble plan to bring in its next guest high-range trumpet soloist? This recording was from 2019.
You’re gonna split the trumpet open!😱
Every big band has one; a weird guy wearing a hat indoors.
I will pay for a live album, please take my money 😂
Yo creo que actualmente junto a bergeron es el mejor lead del mundo.
трубач божественный музыкант!
Fantastic band and leader on trumpet. The guy taking pictures with his cell phone has ruined the video though.
not rlly
Who is writing the charts? Callus Au? Are they available?
Band sounds great and Louis effortless as always. Beautiful work!!
On his website I believe yes, all charts are available
Who is the alto sax player? omg
Bruce Bohnstengel. He's awesome!
Who is the tenor sax player
It's me. Alan Burton. 😎
I'm but sorry that performance did not yield anywhere near enough applause. Well done.
Ed Sheeran on Keys
Who was playing lead? Not Louis, the other guy
wtf even was that note at the end on the trumpet omg
Double D
