when you use the WHOLE instrument

A transcription of Paloma Cobbs-Silva's last cadenza on VIP's Boogie performed at Essentially Ellington 2022. This one took a lot of work, which is also I didn't transcribe every solo in this recording. Still, I had to do something from this because of how absolutely incredible it was. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

[@Gearoid01]

Do you think I could do that?

i love the collective gasps from the audience

[@Trainguy19]

Paloma is definitely one of those students who comes around once in a blue moon. She is one of the most talented sax/clarinet players in high school that I know.

HIGH SCHOOL...

[@amorapologist]

rhapsody in blue it lmao. the collective gasp after the first scoop is so earned

[@Enkai_Star_2]

Dangggg that’s crazy impressive

[@Vivi-Mage]

As someone who played clarinet in high school, how does a high school student achieve such a level of mastery??

[@JScaranoMusic]

Probably by starting much, much younger than high school.

[@darthcannoli]

@@JScaranoMusic either that or practicing very consistently for a long time

0:29 legit me when I get frustrated at what Ravel cooked up for Daphne and Chloe suite; a "fuck it im spamming the arpeggio up and down till it sounds clean enough" moment
but god damn the projection and quality of her sound!

[@SketchyCessna24]

As a clarinet player I can confidently say that I can’t play that

i have to play this as an audition wish me luck 😭😭😭😭

[@simongross3122]

Awesome skill

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

For anyone wondering, this is what real avant garde playing sounds like. not that horrible crap with random noise that's meant to orchestrate a certain feeling in you. See this is proper phrasing.

[@LeanneHolloway-cy2uo]

highly debatable

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

@@LeanneHolloway-cy2uo Actually no it isn't, I'm very goddamn clear on what I state. Goodbye 👋 goodbye.

[@henry5274]

This is literally a Jazz piece with a Jazz solo, this isn’t Avant Garde.

[@GarUnited1]

I can’t wait to fly this!

[@hayley9855]

Is that CG5 at 0:25 😆

[@jonburton1935]

He can use the whole instrument….. but doesn’t sound any good doing it.

[@andyteddy1536]

Idk about you but that tone is heavenly

[@jonburton1935]

I’ve heard solos like this that are equally good and much better

[@edwardholder429]

It's impressive but it really doesn't sound good. There was no real feeling or emotion I felt while listening. All I saw and heard was just notes blizting in my ears. And I'm a clarinetist myself so I know how hard it is, but just to me it really wasn't that good sounding :p

[@fellowgmers932]

No comments in six minutes, bro fell off 😔

[@KyleCrocodile]

You did not need to bring brain rot to a channel like this

[@areussgg]

😭 This is really good, but I didn’t like it. I came to the comments expecting critiques about embouchure or something. You can tell she’s more of a sax player with that embouchure. I don’t think it’s good to play clarinet like that. Now I’m not hating. I think it’s good. I’m a skilled player myself, but the tone wasn’t it, nor the tuning on that last note. I played the blue shades solo not very long ago with a Dub C included. Search up WMHS Nashville Blue Shades if you’re interested.

[@colin_surridge]

Bro really thinks he’s all that. Dawg get ur corny ass outta here
