Maybe it's just me, but it's the first time in my life that I heard a piece this nice with such a solo completely off key, to my taste. Strange indeed.
Jack Smith First of all u can go lower than G# on trumpet with regular notes, second of all below that there are pedal and double pedal notes, third of all when ppl talk about range on trumpet they usually only mean high notes, fourth of all Louis can go much high than double c Sry idk y I felt the need to do that
I can hit a high D above the staff as a freshman in highschool and I'm still working on my range. Only a few months ago was u able to hit the B above the staff. I'm currently trying to learn his solo and if all goes well I will be amazed at myself lol
Wow just as expected. No one talks about the bass player. This bass player is amazing, the tone is amazing. He was completely locked in and has full control of that bass. Sounded amazing.
the thing is though, at least from what ive noticed, people really only pay attention to the instrument they play in the song, pretty much instictively lol
A wasn't a huge fan of the guitar solo at first but the more I listen to it, I like it more and more. The flugel solo is still the highlight of the whole video
I was 14 when Maynard recorded this. I was 24 when I got the opportunity to play with him as lead alto...5 shows in Atlantic City. Miss you my friend!!
I feel like the problem with the guitar solo was how it was placed in the arrangement, it was right after a shout section and at the beginning of the solo section and came out with a very dissonant substitution that held out for an entire phrase, which sort of ruined the hype from the band section before it. Maybe if it was placed later in the solo section, the dissonance would have been more tasteful, and the substitutions are still cool af, but the rapid tonal transitions created an unsteady flow
I don't think there's a right order for the solos. I think he was trying too hard to play "out" right in the beginning, plus what made him think that bend was a good idea?
@@somebody9033 It seems, the octaves naming convention is different in every part of the world! Could you just show a musical sheet lines above staff, then mark what notes belong to what "naming octave"? Would be great if we can uniform this globally at one time. What we call C4 in Europe, is called C 7 or "double C" or"double high C" in other parts of the world, and so on... where exactly does one octave mumber end and another begin? I thought it was at every "C", where another octave number begins, right??
As for the guitar solo which is often critizited here, it's just a matter of taste, like always in music. I'm absolutely certain about the fact that this guy knew what he was doing and played a solo that he liked. By the way i like it too.
Watching guys like Louis and Wayne encouraged me to finally pick up my trumpet again after a 30 year layoff. While i am still no where good enough on "Let it go" yet, i find myself compelled to buy the backing track for this old favorite as well. This song, possibly the most well known favorite of most trumpeters came out while i was in Jr High School. Hell, this song is the World Wide anthem for us trumpet players;)
Best cover of Gonna Fly Now ever crafted. Perfection. Louis’ high notes are clear, fat, lyrical and are stately in tone. Nobody goes high more musically than Louis... imo
nicely done. the horns are a nice touch. but what key was the guitar player in? I'm all for those out there changes that create tension, but at least come back to the tonic every once in a while.
oh man this theme with wayne bergeron’s trumpet screaming oof! still gives me chills and i still cant stop getting them after I met him tht made me the happiest guy in the world and props to you too Louis never ever let anyone tell you cant make it because you can
@@MagikMKWI think it's cool it just depends on the context. This song isn't exactly the song where you'd expect that based on its history and to my ears at least it just doesn't make sense. guys got insane chops I'd just rather have that on a different tune.
Watching these guys is like a ant looking up at a giant mountain I struggle to get out notes like a B natural above the staff it’s very encouraging to watch and listen to
Must have been like: "Alright, listen up dipshits, I don't have a lot of time to play a dumbass movie theme from the fucking 70's so you BETTER not screw this up!"
Props to the studio techs! This is an excellent recording. Lou hits those high notes flawlessly. GR Mouthpieces sent me here. Heading to your store to pick one up!
@@aidanobuck5779 sorry I think I had them both open and replied to the comment thinking it was on the other video. yes there's no double C# in this one haha
holy crap. these videos keep getting better and better with every release. Callum and Louis y'all guys keep rocking out. and I can't wait for the next video
Ok I know this is a recorded piece so it's unfair to compare and I won't mention names, but honestly, Louis plays so effortlessly up there with a nice fat, brilliant smooth tone - I feel like a lot of other players that scream, sound more strained or thin. And I've seen some youtube videos where it wasn't a high-quality recording like this - and the same conclusion. Mad props to the Flugelhorn player that was a fantastic smooth solo!
I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing it, but the video & audio seems to desync every once in a while throughout the video, don't know why. (Specifically, it seems to start to happen around the flugelhorn solo). Other than that, the audio was superb! Further Edit: Ok, I seem to have it on videos of other RUclipsrs as well, so I'm guessing RUclips's just bugged out for me at the moment.
Yah Rocky my favorite fighting movie! wow I wanted y'all to do this so much do thx and again great job to everyone who took part in this film -Austin X
Music with real instruments never gets old.EDM may require skill but playing instuments brings out various ranges of emotions which EDM can never bring😇LONG LIVE THOSE MUSCIANS WHO PLAY REAL INSTRUMENTS
I actually thought the guitar solo was quite nice! Sure he played out of the progression for some of it, but it was still great improvisation and I’m sure he knew what he was doing
I have a to say that was awesome. That flugelhorn solo was one of the best I've heard in a while. Great all around job guys. Well the guitar solo as too choppy. Keep it coming encore,encore
Back in the 70's you could buy albums called "Music Minus One". These were albums recorded with whatever instrument they were directed for deleted from the sound track. This looks like a digital version of the same. Very cool, wish I still played.......You do a heck of a job on these tunes. Keep up the good work.
I should be doing homework but I'm too busy admiring this trumpet range
Epicduck 5000 only if there was two oh wait I am here
Brother?
YOOOOOO
Same
Do your damn homework
As a French horn player, I really appreciate the horn part
Ben C. Same here man
@@csen4247 sameeeeee!!
It was the worst part
Ye
Same😂
I vote they do a cover of The Incredibles next. All in agreement?
Second.
That tune has been in my head constantly for the past two days and I'm not bored of it
That would be awesome!
dude yes
TEEJ 44 no
that flugelhorn solo was kickass
Nick Sopko I thought it was a bugle
Kevin Abraham lol
Ethan Maruyama you are stupid if you think that is a mellophone
Agreed
Yes it was kick ass
That guitar solo sounded like it belongs in Mario kart 8, not in Gonna Fly Now.
i didn't like it
Charles Darwin lol
I thought it was okay but it kinda felt unnecessary
Maybe it's just me, but it's the first time in my life that I heard a piece this nice with such a solo completely off key, to my taste. Strange indeed.
Yea would of sounded better if it was on key
What’s your range on the trumpet?
Louis: Yes.
Well he prob can hit a low g# and when he did the incredible theme he hit a double c
Jack Smith First of all u can go lower than G# on trumpet with regular notes, second of all below that there are pedal and double pedal notes, third of all when ppl talk about range on trumpet they usually only mean high notes, fourth of all Louis can go much high than double c
Sry idk y I felt the need to do that
Trevor King sorry I’ve only played trumpet for 2 years I’m a horn player and play trumpet for jazz gigs .
@@Trumpophone7 Wonder if he can play higher than Michael Englar lmao!
TW Music maybe, but it’s all about sound quality because if Louis sounds bad in that register then no but if he sounds better than Michael then yes
R.I.P to all the people who tried to play those trumpet high notes
Yeah, I am dead😂😭
Depending on your trumpet it could be hell the sequel or second nature to play that high, it’s odd how in instruments you get what you pay or exactly
I simply cant play that high 😂 highest i can go is high D above the staff
I can hit a high D above the staff as a freshman in highschool and I'm still working on my range. Only a few months ago was u able to hit the B above the staff. I'm currently trying to learn his solo and if all goes well I will be amazed at myself lol
@@shaneandrews7177 im a fresh men also i can go up to a b in the stratosphere
Wow just as expected. No one talks about the bass player. This bass player is amazing, the tone is amazing. He was completely locked in and has full control of that bass. Sounded amazing.
The bass player is so good you don't even notice him
3:07 tho 🥲
the thing is though, at least from what ive noticed, people really only pay attention to the instrument they play in the song, pretty much instictively lol
A wasn't a huge fan of the guitar solo at first but the more I listen to it, I like it more and more. The flugel solo is still the highlight of the whole video
It sounded to me like he was playing in the wrong key. It was odd
I was 14 when Maynard recorded this. I was 24 when I got the opportunity to play with him as lead alto...5 shows in Atlantic City. Miss you my friend!!
As do we all...
The drummers face on the solo just proves that he worked HARD on that. Thumbs up for me👍
I feel like the problem with the guitar solo was how it was placed in the arrangement, it was right after a shout section and at the beginning of the solo section and came out with a very dissonant substitution that held out for an entire phrase, which sort of ruined the hype from the band section before it.
Maybe if it was placed later in the solo section, the dissonance would have been more tasteful, and the substitutions are still cool af, but the rapid tonal transitions created an unsteady flow
lol
Guitar solo was just; Bad, out of sync, and tone. The rest was pretty sweet.
I see the point, you’re actually right
I don't think there's a right order for the solos. I think he was trying too hard to play "out" right in the beginning, plus what made him think that bend was a good idea?
@@gregorybabiak5845 it wasn't out of sync but yeah i didn't like it either
Anyone else notice that Louis double B was so in tune it blended in with the band for a second
JJisthe name that is how it’s supposed to sound
its because he wasnt much louder then the band, so it sounded as "one"
No any double B in that song. Highest is high B! Double B is another ballpark!
@@MYNAME_ABC not right. F# above the staff is "double F#".
@@somebody9033 It seems, the octaves naming convention is different in every part of the world!

He knew what he was doing ;)
Sorry for my english...
There's good taste and bad taste. The guitar and synth players have bad taste and whoever signed off on their work has bad taste or could be deaf.
So Louis has bad taste?
At first I hated the guitar solo, but I watched it some more times, and it grew on me! LOL I agree now he knew what he was doing!
Y'all leave that guitar soloist alone. He's in 1955 trying to make sure his parents fall in love and is slowly fading out of existence!
Brilliant.
We’re not ready for the solo yet. I bet our kids are gonna love it
This is a high IQ joke
Very clever. I like it. Good job McFly
Okay this is hilarious
I have a feeling Maynard would approve.
He would be jealous
Garrett Dyer go watch maynard's.
I have a feeling you're higher than the guitar and synth players.
This is better than Maynard's take lmao
He didn’t hold that high F# out though like Maynard
2:24 gave me chills! The whole thing was so good
Louis' chops are ridiculous
100th like

3:28 can’t get enough of this synth solo
Jonathan Breakfest sane it’s so good😩👌🏾
3:15 😍💖
It was VERY 80s.
Make a MacArthur Park big band recording please lol
It’s taken me actual years to appreciate this guitar solo. This guy honestly does a great job.
1:15 FOREVER ALONE
I love how he was inspired by Maynard Fergusson‘s solo. Mad respect. This is such a great version.
You are a very gifted trumpet player. Brings back memories from Derek Watkins, may he RIP.
I REALLY think you need to get in touch with Dirty Loops and do a collaboration. So much energy!!!
YES!
I don't think he is on the same league as Dirty Loops.
Reon Tomasu yes he is :)
the drum solo is amazing!!!!!!!!
nicely done. the horns are a nice touch. but what key was the guitar player in? I'm all for those out there changes that create tension, but at least come back to the tonic every once in a while.
Some indication of the guitarist knowing what chords he was playing over every now and then would have been nice.
Thought the exact same thing, didn't sound like he was following the chord changes at all. not even sure he was anywhere close
Buddy Rich built a fantastic career on not reading music. This guy, not so much.
Larry Smith Damn y'all really are ignorant 😂
The guitar was fine you just couldnt appreciate it
honestly you should have a million subs with this level of musical talent, the crispness of everything is unmatched in such an awesome format
Killer flugel solo
So we're just not going to talk about that weird cut to a close-up of the synth player??
After watching this for the thousandth time, idk who made a smoother entrance, the synth or the flugel...they both came in like butter!!
He played those high notes so freaking clean I’m so jealous
Well done. From one trumpet player to another.
Keep throwing it down, man.
Man, you're killing it!
While these covers are awesome, I'd love to also hear some original compositions too
Watch this space.
oh man this theme with wayne bergeron’s trumpet screaming oof! still gives me chills and i still cant stop getting them after I met him tht made me the happiest guy in the world and props to you too Louis never ever let anyone tell you cant make it because you can
Trombone is the most underused underrated instrument in big band jazz
That flugelhorn solo is amezing!
The guitar solo was insane
And never touched the correct key. It’s great if you play notes not in the scale but you gotta find home eventually and he rarely did.
@@griffin8er845 he did touch the correct key, many times in fact
It did take me several listens tho, so maybe try again?
@@MagikMKWI think it's cool it just depends on the context. This song isn't exactly the song where you'd expect that based on its history and to my ears at least it just doesn't make sense. guys got insane chops I'd just rather have that on a different tune.
Yes insane😂
Watching these guys is like a ant looking up at a giant mountain I struggle to get out notes like a B natural above the staff it’s very encouraging to watch and listen to
That one trombonist kind of looks like JK Simmons from Whiplash!
I was thinking the same thing!
+Mr. DPJ21 LOL alright we get it he's bold
Kameron Simpson i thought it was literally him😂
Must have been like: "Alright, listen up dipshits, I don't have a lot of time to play a dumbass movie theme from the fucking 70's so you BETTER not screw this up!"
Omg so true😱😱😂😂
Flugelhorn solo is on point! Beautiful
This arrangement is awesome! The guitar and synth solos were amazing😤 absolutely amazing
Hi jo loop
How can anybody NOT like this???
2:01 brass just flat killin it
It’s not even just range, the amount of control bending those incredibly high notes takes insane...
louis how the heck do you get such an incredible range, i’m gonna need to borrow that range for marching band so i can impress the directors
Lol I read dictators and got confused
@@ebergelefsen Kim Jong Un getting a good show
Study and practice. Years of it.
Props to the studio techs! This is an excellent recording. Lou hits those high notes flawlessly. GR Mouthpieces sent me here. Heading to your store to pick one up!
Louis: 0:01 *hits double c casually*
Me: well ok then
These guitar and the trumpet player hitting the double C was the best, I love this, all of it.
double C# :)
@@somebody9033no not in this version. With Wayne he hit a double C#, not in this one
@@aidanobuck5779 sorry I think I had them both open and replied to the comment thinking it was on the other video. yes there's no double C# in this one haha
2:03 headphone off 2:11 on
How did you notice that
idk man i notice the weirdest things XD
was that guy even playing, cuz it didn't look like it
Tempest374 might sometimes be easier to record video and sound separate
Woah
the soloist trumpet hitting those high notes is just baffling makes it look so effortless too.
guitar solo was strange. didnt get it lol
But if you listening with many attention you´ll feel the armony whith the trumpets on the deep,
@@ryperes There are no trumpets playing at that moment, at least at the beginning
So I'm not the only one...
The most relaxed looking high note trumpet player you'll ever see.
wordpressobsessed pretty close, but Antonio Cabrera, especially on “friend like me” both players are ridiculous
I'm going to say something that nobody said: Nice Job guys :D
Reminds me of playing for the women's basketball games in college. They wanted to hear Rocky over and over again.
This is my new definitive version
holy crap. these videos keep getting better and better with every release. Callum and Louis y'all guys keep rocking out. and I can't wait for the next video
This is what I want played at my funeral.
Yes a very good idea. But I Hope it insn t Necessaire soon.

Some legends will say Rocky is still running💪😂
Clean as a whistle! Great balance and ensemble. What a nice treat!
so glad I found this video
I'm pretty sure this is one of two versions of this song that im willing to listen to. The other is the James last orchestra ft Derek Watkins
I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing it, but the video & audio seems to desync every once in a while throughout the video, don't know why. (Specifically, it seems to start to happen around the flugelhorn solo). Other than that, the audio was superb!
Further Edit: Ok, I seem to have it on videos of other RUclipsrs as well, so I'm guessing RUclips's just bugged out for me at the moment.
I'm getting it too but could be RUclips
Im getting it too... I hope youtube fixes it, its only one part of the track and the original file isn't corrupt
Even RUclips is going crazy for this track!
Synth solo is completely superfluous in a brass band!
Was I the only one who got chills at 3:04
I have to say, there's so much talent here.
Sick, didn't care for the guitar solo though.
me neither
Exactly what I was thinking. Kinda spoilt it.
seemed very out of the style of the tune and there were some notes that didn't sound like they fit the progression
chuckthenugget he played out of the changes on purpose, it just didn't make sense in this song.
IMO the guitar solo was the most (or only) interesting part of the video. (The rest was cool, though not especially interesting to me)
Yah Rocky my favorite fighting movie! wow I wanted y'all to do this so much do thx and again great job to everyone who took part in this film

What a great drummer!! Sounds like 1970´s!!! Congrats!!
All you guys complaining about the guitar player need to listen to more fusion and alot more Steely Dan
Michael Gaboardi but the guitar player doesn't play basically in the key in Steely Dan songs
Michael Gaboardi great comment!
Drummer, guitar, and keys are insane!!
2:38 killer double high Bb
Phantomsleet616 aqi u mean b natural? Or is high Bb with 2nd valve
RayarX natural
You mean b natural?
B natural lol
God damn... High register sounds so easy when you play it! I hope one day I'll be able to play as high with so soft tone... Great job guys!
I actually thought the guitar solo was quite nice! Sure he played out of the progression for some of it, but it was still great improvisation and I’m sure he knew what he was doing
I was gonna say!
Other guys here don't appreciate real creativity if you know what i mean.
If I was pressed I would have to say Louis is currently my favorite trumpeter. Sweet stuff
I have a to say that was awesome. That flugelhorn solo was one of the best I've heard in a while. Great all around job guys. Well the guitar solo as too choppy. Keep it coming encore,encore

Can we have a hint about when the new video is coming out? :)
Should be within the week! Stay tuned

I don t know why , but I want to watch all the rocky balboa movies now! Good job, keep it up!!
0:17 beat drop i asume
There a maybe a few who can match your tone and endurance but damn if you don't make it look easy as hell. Excellent job as always.
The more I listen to the guitar solo the more it makes sense 😂
He just keeps getting better... nice clean tone.
I'm a first trumpet in 7th grade and I can't even hit these notes and I can play a B above the staff.

I like chromatic stuff but the guitar solo really doesn’t fit this style at all.
Agreed. Even though there were some parts were it did make in harmony with the trombones, most of it didn't fit for me personally.
The arranger should have given the guitar player a correct chord chart.
it's actually very similar to the Maynard Ferguson version
@@cavemantero No. It isn't.
Shaak Ti it’s called a solo for a reason. You make it up on the spot
