Everyone is talking about String of Pearls, but is no one is going to mention that after the intro, they open with Basie's Corner Pocket? Okay, I will. So good! Happy Christmas, all!
This may be the most impressive Christmas jazz I’ve ever listened to. I’ve waited a whole year for this and you have not let any of us down. Merry Christmas to you and your family and thank you for blessing all of us with your beautiful playing. Absolutely breathtaking.
I think this is the best performance of the year. Arrangements, recordings, brass performance levels, harmony, difficulty playing trumpets, grooves on woodwinds, pianos, bass, drums, etc. Nothing to throw away. This performance is too difficult to copy. So it's a great arrangement to challenge.
Why am I just now seeing this March 3, 2021. Blame it on COVID. No matter what season, this was a great arrangement, awesome performance and hell of a video. Merry belated Chrustmas to all.
Absolutely unreal, Auld Lang Syne was such a good finisher. Was that really you guys singing? Also did I miss it or did you guys not include sleigh ride :(
Excellent work all round chaps. Good to see the Great Day In Harlem photo in pride of place behind Louis. Only Golson and Rollins still with us. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hi Louis. I was lucky enough to briefly work with fellow Canadian, (I'm British born), Maynard Ferguson as a lead altoist. Wondering if you'd ever consider doing a cover of MacArthur Park or any other of his, (Jay Chattaway, arranger when I was with him), material? Best in 2020, pal!!
Callum Au is worthy of his surname. Au is gold!
LETS FREAKING GO IVE BEEN WAITING A WHOLE YEAR FOR THIS
Thomas Longhurst saaaaammmeee!

Haha, fancy seeing you here! Another trumpet player of culture.
And I've been waiting another year to hear it again!!!
It's like musical candy for me. Lol
🔥 my boiiiiiiiiii 🔥🙏🏼😊😫💦🔥❤️
I love your videos man your an amazing trumpet player!!
Did anyone else hear the String of Pearls quote? Absolutely love it.
Yes, heard it. You beat me to it though :(
It completely caught me by surprise, which only made me love it more
1:20
Corner Pocket at 0:31
Omg yes lol i thought i was the only one XD
The most exciting big band Christmas jazz I ever heard since Stan Kenton's Christmas album!
5:20 is when he starts popping off 😂😂
I think you mean 1:34

Feel like this is the new Christmas for moderns - Maynard Ferguson
Bang on! As I was listening I was thinking "This could almost replace 'Christmas for Moderns' as my favorite Christmas medley... Almost."
@@stevenk9466 Really missed the repeated G's at 3:40. Feels wrong without it after so many years of Christmas for Moderns.....
O HOLY NIGHT HAD ME SO SHOOK
Thank you for the best Christmas gift ✨ ✨ Merry Christmas 🎄
The singing had me completely surprised. We're not ready for that! :P
5:40 Yeah, there's Louis for ya.
Louis and the band are so awesome! Surprised no one seemed to mention that trombone solo at 2:03ish. That was so smooth!
Louis Dowdeswell Louis You Are Fantastic Trumpet Legend!!!!!

The drummer is so good
Who else thinks that the drummer should have been dressed as little drummer boy?
Tate Lee yes
Good to see that you're still alive, Louis!

Excellent work all round chaps. Good to see the Great Day In Harlem photo in pride of place behind Louis. Only Golson and Rollins still with us. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I'm so glad you guys posted again I've been waiting since frosty the snowman😭❤️
Any idea why Louis’s music isn’t available for the US on Spotify? Makes me pretty sad :(
Philip Shin not available on Apple Music either :(
I asked him at a concert and he said its only available for purchase and not streaming.
It's not available for anyone on Spotify. Maybe I'll put it in Spotify when it becomes impossible to sell music.
As it should be. Spotify gives no money to the artists
If you want to support them and not just take the product for practically free just buy the album
I count 12! LOVE THIS
Fantastic !!
Love the Big Band sound!
1:41 very smooth sneaking o holy night in there
I like how God rest ye merry gentlemen could be it’s own tune.
Killin' . Yes indeed.
How have I only found this now!!!
That O Holy Night tease was slick. I think it's ts time to revisit that Mr. Dowdeswell! You're so talented it's a treat to listen to your music.
OMG!!!! Waited forever for this to drop!!! THANKYOU!!!
Please please please put this on spotify!!!!

Amazing like always!
Insane! Wish I could play like you!
