The arrangements, first they are conceived in the brain ... then they are written and finally executed. Mr. Alan Baylock, should be considered ... GENIOUS !!
1:27 this is just brilliant. I mean just brilliant, so polished and done up like a bow, it almost made me recite a certain christmas poem, and the next line ends with snow.
Superb !!!!!! You guys are a monster of a band! Good dynamics, monster chops done very well. Talk about being in unison.... Bass and drummer really kept the foundation hoppin'. Keys were good. Here I am, 3:30 a.m., sick as a dog, and for a few minutes I felt great!!!!!
Amazing. Thank God for His love, mercy, protection, and creations, and thank God during the highs and lows and God bless you and all of us in Jesus Christ’s King of all kings blood that was shed and name we pray amen. 😊 Fantastica. Gracias a Dios por El amor, misercodia, proteccion, y creaciones, y gracias a Dios todo los dias mala o bueno y vayan con Dios a todos y yo en el sangre y nombre de Cristo Jesus Rey de reys amen.😊
Haha, 1st and 3rd ;) they use alternate positions both, 2nd doesn't probably because they had both the idea of doing that the same time (i know the feeling :P soms sectional humor)
@@alderaanplacez710 They're the U.S. Airforce's jazz band. "Airmen of Note" could refer to a military distinction or it could mean they're airmen of note(s) because they play musical instruments.
Jim, while I love the Airmen of Note, I can't endorse your statement that they are the finest in the land. There's a LOT of competition for them, some of it coming from North Texas, and the UNT One O'Clock Lab Band. Here's *their* rendition of Cherokee! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NGQvP3Buv60.html
Gary C I agree that the soloist on the UNT version of Cherokee was better than the soloists here, but he's not even in UNT. As a band, AON are a better overall ensemble by quite a bit. It's not really fair to compare though, because unt is a bunch of kids and aon is all full time professional musicians. UNT is amazing though, regardless
@@hughpenner1417 Both bands are wonderful, and IMO both are better than many name bands, and each deserves our mutual respect. I wouldn;t want to compare them
The Air Force, along with all the other military branches, have several bands for different things. This particular band is all about jazz, and yes, they have a piano. But, you'd better be professional level before even thinking about joining up, they expect you to already know how to play, and play well. So, they aren't going to 'teach' you anything about HOW to play, it's expected you already know how.
This is one of the sadder performances I’ve had to watch, not because it’s bad, but just the opposite. It’s a great rendition that just overshadowed by UNT and Sean Jones. Not much you can do against both of them though. Still some absolutely fantastic moments though.
@@harrison7723 I’m gonna guess that Josh from the UNT recording has since “fully fundamentally developed,” as he is now the lead trumpet player in the US Army Band.
@@harrison7723btw I agree with you that I prefer this recording over the UNT one, this band is more locked in with sound and blend. This is a cleaner performance than the UNT video.
