No matter how many different videos I listen to, this mans solo literally brings tears to my eyes, one of the greatest trombones solos I’ve ever heard.
I first heard this solo high af and gone one night and it was the catalyst to get me to stop binge drinking and smoking. It’s been a year of sobriety now, GOD spoke through this man.
They wasn’t ready the first time just in pure awe. This time they knew that vibration was on the way! Put a new spin on it too, this young brother is super talented.
Idk…we hear him perform this song in multiple videos and still it’s breathtaking. It’s like that one song in a gospel choir that makes everyone get the Holy Ghost
This is disgusting. Seriously heinous. More, Please! I love it. Wil, you make the trombone sound like a Kazoo, and I mean that as a compliment. I have never heard the trombone sound like that. Well done, Sir! Well done!!!
Our world NEEDS a professional recording of this ASAP! Get Funk Phi Slide on America's Got Talent, in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, or in a recording studio! I don't care what it takes, this needs to happen!
I find one of will’s videos every year just to hear this solo, I don’t know who taught will but mannn the way he plays this piece it literally speaks to my soul
I'd rather listen to this on repeat than most rap songs nowadays. This is incredible making that trombone sang. Dude has some amazing talent a true gift. I don't know how I came across this video but it gave me chills fr.
This is f'n beautiful! The kid projected his soul across the universe like a quasar and lit up our hearts. I can't hold in the tears of joy. The whole band is awesome.
I have heard maybe 10-15 great trombonist during my life time. This young man just took the throne at the top. Im listening as I type this and this young man has a gift from Zulu himself. Im running out of words as this melodious symphony resonates through my soul. Im done!!!!!
Its the band hyping him and dancing for me. He did his thing with that solo. Its hard to make brass instruments sing like that, but when those that can do, its beautiful to witness. This is real passion for a craft and talent. Man is going places
Don’t know how many times I’ve seen this but damn. I get emotional every time! Idk bout anyone else but, as a musician, I can feel the passion in this and it definitely tugs on some heart strings for me for sure.
This makes me emotional. I'm a trumpet player bit my Dad played trombone professionally. Whoever the dude is playing the soli is an exceptional talent 🥹
Can't listen to this and not feel something I've wasted my whole day looking big bro up and I am very impressed. Def touched my heart and soul with this performance brother thank you. Can't keep the tears back while listening
The most incredible thing is out of the 4 recordings on youtube, he still has not mispitched or shanked a single note. Truly incredible how perfectly Wil plays it each time, just mastering the trombone.
I just watched this band play this today at another game; it was trombones vs trombones. When BC played this; amazing, when this gentleman came in with that solo…. Oommmggggg I’ve watched this atleast; literally over 70x times… truly a gift from God.. that passion he had hitting every tune/note.. unbelievable.. when you graduate, go help some of these middle/high school students. Great job King 🤴🏾💯🙌🏽🙏🏽
You can LITERALLY feel the spirit in his playing! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾....The SOUL that he puts into that trombone!! And the brass section backing him up with those beautiful progressions and chords... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Play that thang! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
God has granted all of us the ability to be a shining beacon in a world often frought with darkness. This young man is such a beacon. Thank you Benedict College and Brother Bilal. Play on, Brother.
Can anyone explain to me why does this make me drip tears of joy every time i hear it. I must have heard this like 50 times and i still tear up every time, it never fails. Good job making that instrument do what it was born to do. 👏 👏 👏 👏
The Most High has given this young brotha something special and you know it everytime you hear this lick! You feel the sound in your soul like a new language of communication crying into the depths of serious expressions that we have never heard before. I'm a musician and writer and you are appreciated and respected. All Praises to the Most High for such a gift. Shalom!
Been in the music game for 20+ plus years ain't too many musicians give me the chills but this guy is special! Hope he is able to make a living off his gift cause his talent is needed on the scene to save what is becoming a novelty musically.
The UHOP produces some of the greatest brass players in the world. They are hidden gems. They start so young and perfect their trombones, baritones, and Sousaphones. It's amazing what they can do with the brass horns.
Intonation, tone, vibrance....he's definitely lived on this earth in a past life.....this is now my freedom song. My ancestors heard this before it was thought of as they navigated the underground railroad to freedom. The sun shone brightly when the last shots were fired in the Civil War and all African Americans were declared free. Preach brother, preach!!!!
I'm not African American, but I appreciate his musical talent. And also enjoyed your interpretation of this song and the journey your words took me on. This is how History should be interpreted for all. Thank you, Respectfully.

You know its something special when band members who've heard him play this hundreds of times turn around and watch with big smiles.
To be honest. This is only the second time this band heard him play it Live in person. But I do agree with you, it is Special
I Really think that's the first time
@@BCBandofDistinction Wow. That's just amazing. You guys have an absolutely special player.

Crazy how a 2 minute solo solidifies William Bilal as the greatest to ever touch a trombone.
Very close
His older brother Hank has a Grammy.
The sound is so rich. Literally brings tears to my ears every time I hear the brother play. PHENOMENAL TALENT
@@nasuno23then Bilal boys got it
I don't know how many times I jave heard this and get goosebumps every time!
I first heard this solo high af and gone one night and it was the catalyst to get me to stop binge drinking and smoking. It’s been a year of sobriety now, GOD spoke through this man.
Wow My God 🙌🏽

Congrats on your sobriety!! Wish you well on your path going forward!
It definitely just touched my soul.🥲
@@lincolnward85Yes, He can through anything on earth.
this young brother has managed to conjure the voices of the ancestors through his trombone. this musical alchemy makes tears stream down my face.
🥹
A poet
Every time I hear him playing this solo.😭
I thought I was the only one I listen this for like 30mins str8 and can’t stop tearin up
Same here...amazing how we as a people know how to touch the soul!!🔥🔥
Shout out to that trombone playing that bassline. Very impressive. Them low notes cutting through.
i was thinking the same!!!
My exact thoughts. Both of those young brothers were amazing
Ong
Imma be honest. I was listening to the bass more than the solo
That Bass cutting hard!!
That “Yeah Wil” just makes this one hit so much more different.
Cuz that's sure what I was saying!! LOL
@@ItsMissChas5 not all hero’s where capes some wear purple
@@HogsInMaeAynis mmmmmmmm
They wasn’t ready the first time just in pure awe. This time they knew that vibration was on the way! Put a new spin on it too, this young brother is super talented.
Fr tho bro! 🖤🙏🏽
This man aint just cooking... He done cooked, cleaned up, and put our asses to bed. Sheeeeeeesssshhh
😂

🤣🤣🤣 yes!
That is a perfect analogy! 🎼🎵👍🏾
Pure to its core 🙌🏽
Yepppp
It sent me straight to Heaven 🙌
I love how he plays it slightly different each time to give the ppl something different
💯 and it's 🔥 every single time 💪🏾 #certifiedbandgeek #hbcu
It’s like a skilled singer switching their adlibs/runs. Means he really knows what he’s doing. Amazing
Its just raw amazing talent each time! Unfiltered and unmatched.
facts cuz he added some sauce on this one during that second riff
Watch the dancer in the front row of the video 😂😂😂 she was straight faced until buddy hit that note, she felt it in her soul
Lol she didn’t want to look back until she had no choice. I guess her and Wil got history 😂
Can you PLEASE make a studio recording of this?
I'd Buy It!
I'd buy it too
same here
10x over
Extend it for at least 2 more minutes lol
This will make a grown man cry. I haven't cried like this in a long time. He is a legend
It’s just , when the band stop for a second and he hits that note. It’s enough to make you body shiver
This boy plays like the ancestors are sitting front seat for the replay🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙📯
This is disgusting. Seriously heinous. More, Please! I love it. Wil, you make the trombone sound like a Kazoo, and I mean that as a compliment. I have never heard the trombone sound like that. Well done, Sir! Well done!!!
Look up willie colon. Puerto Rican salsa singer n trombone . He had the trombone with the pistons tho
@@luis-n-ceci6998 that is a very unfortunate name
@@BrassPlayr😂😂😂😂😂
The women upfront were supposed to be smiling looking forward and even they couldn't help but to turn back and watch. They sound amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That hype man in the back (“PLAY IT WILL!”) plus them horns is the best combo I’ve head with this song hands down
Our world NEEDS a professional recording of this ASAP! Get Funk Phi Slide on America's Got Talent, in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, or in a recording studio! I don't care what it takes, this needs to happen!
I find one of will’s videos every year just to hear this solo, I don’t know who taught will but mannn the way he plays this piece it literally speaks to my soul
His older brother Hank Bilal taught him that solo but Will put his own touch to it.
I play this one solo at least once a day
I’m 50 years old at work. In tears. Damn. I felt that.
I'd rather listen to this on repeat than most rap songs nowadays. This is incredible making that trombone sang. Dude has some amazing talent a true gift. I don't know how I came across this video but it gave me chills fr.
Bruh I actually been doing that I don't wanna hear nth else 😂
W O R D !
It’s 2024 u know these are blessed hands and lungs when u cry…. I feel this in my soul❤❤❤
also honor the guys around him. overall superb performance
That bass line tho. Was looking for the tuba and realized it was one of trombone players. And that last note. O.M.G.
This solo makes me cry. You can just FEEL it
This is f'n beautiful! The kid projected his soul across the universe like a quasar and lit up our hearts. I can't hold in the tears of joy. The whole band is awesome.
And I thought I wouldn't find a better version of one of these two brothers crushing it...
Praise the Lord! What an AWESOME MUSICAL GIFT you have My Son, nurtured by 1 of our HBCU's!
Praise the Lord, indeed 🎉

I'm not an emotional person but I honestly can't stop my tears from running everytime I hear him play.
That ain’t nothing but the ancestors speaking through him. Amazingly awesome

When the cheerleaders are even vibing along, you know you got something special!
Don’t know how many times I’ve seen this but damn. I get emotional every time! Idk bout anyone else but, as a musician, I can feel the passion in this and it definitely tugs on some heart strings for me for sure.
For sure, it’s like from a musicians prospective you can feel the notes on a deeper level.
This makes me emotional. I'm a trumpet player bit my Dad played trombone professionally. Whoever the dude is playing the soli is an exceptional talent 🥹

When the band members, turned around to look. 123 times. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Gone on Man
I see Benedict Black and Blues, I press play. I think I've watched every RUclips version of them and happy see a 2021 upload.
No one plays this solo better then Will. Someone tell me other wise. I’ll wait.
I’m with ya
His older brother is probably the ONLY other person in the world that can match him. And maybe Wycliffe Gordon.
I hope u got food and water. I think its gona be awhile
He plays it slightly different everytime ... and its wonderful every time
I have listened to music my entire life. Never have tears just welled up in my eyes after listening to a song one time. What is this magic?
Why does this give me chills no matter how many times I watch it. That’s talent right there 💪🏾🖤
I didn’t even know the trombone could sound this good 🤯
once in a while I come back to this just to cry my eyes out
I can not listen to this without getting goosebumps bruh
The most incredible thing is out of the 4 recordings on youtube, he still has not mispitched or shanked a single note. Truly incredible how perfectly Wil plays it each time, just mastering the trombone.
Honestly one of the most impressive musical moments I've ever seen... Wil can make that Bone SING!!!!
This songs gotta be one of the most alive moments he has in his life, it is beautiful
I'm obsessed with this... this is living rent free in my head 😂
Something about this solo makes a tear come to my eye. Its very moving
I have never heard a trombone sing like that. I need more. I watched it 97 times going for 98.
This is greatness we’re watching here folks
As a black man it’s something about this touches a weird part of my soul.
U can see everyone slowly get sucked into his performance. It’s like magic!
I need my guy to come with the album this was too soulful I had no business playing this 20x with tears rolling
What amazes me is he never plays it exactly the same way, it's different everytime cuz he's playing from his soul....Amazing‼️‼️
I just watched this band play this today at another game; it was trombones vs trombones. When BC played this; amazing, when this gentleman came in with that solo…. Oommmggggg I’ve watched this atleast; literally over 70x times… truly a gift from God.. that passion he had hitting every tune/note.. unbelievable.. when you graduate, go help some of these middle/high school students.

That’s black excellence right there. That boy say you gon respect that horn.
You can LITERALLY feel the spirit in his playing! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾....The SOUL that he puts into that trombone!! And the brass section backing him up with those beautiful progressions and chords... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Play that thang! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Absolutely filthy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’ve replayed like 100.100 times
Makes me proud to be an alumni of BC class of 09! Wasnt on the band but played football for 3 years! Much love young man
That horn just blew a hole straight to heaven. Wowowowowowow I’m in tears.
Honest truth, he got skill and the trombones backing him definitely got his back! Love it!
Man put his soul in that solo got the whole damn field dancing gifted fasho
I'm gonna need a way to "like" this about a million times.
I never knew a trombone could sing like that!! This dude is ridiculous!!!!
LOVED THIS!! And I'm A Drummer. He did the damn thing!! Best Trombone Solo I Ever Heard!!
The skill that this takes is crazy!! That boy is gifted!!!
God has granted all of us the ability to be a shining beacon in a world often frought with darkness. This young man is such a beacon. Thank you Benedict College and Brother Bilal. Play on, Brother.
The light that came from the dark room
My Trombone never sound like this. This man is incredible. I teared up.
Can we get some more of videos of Wil before his senior year ends? RUclips and the world needs more William Bilal.
The way these beautiful ladies are snappin you can tell this amazing sound is just chilling to hear live! This is mastery of the craft!
Don't understand why but I almost always get teary-eyed while listening to this. A masterpiece and killer trombone section. Best I have ever heard.
Same! Same! As a former Trombone player I wish I had an Oz of this kids talent! If I'm having a bad day I come here and let Mr. Bilal cheer me up
That solo is the way most of us are trudging through life. 😮
I'm not sure what it is about this that makes me emotional every time I watch it.
You can tell he’s comfortable the way he playing with those ad-libs 😮💨💪🏽
I came across this gem today, this brotha got me wanting to pick up a trombone 😂
Can anyone explain to me why does this make me drip tears of joy every time i hear it. I must have heard this like 50 times and i still tear up every time, it never fails. Good job making that instrument do what it was born to do. 👏 👏 👏 👏

Mane it give me chills that he has that much talent it’s like it’s telling a story fr🦾‼️
Is there a reason I am crying uncontrollably? It’s as if the voices of our ancestors are crying out through his music! Absolutely spectacular!!
Happy it’s not just me. 😂

Could this be the reason it gives chills and tears flow. I get choked up and feel so powerful on the inside. Like dna activation
