Essentially Ellington 2018: Dillard Center for the Arts - A Night in Tunisia 

Summer will be the trumpet player of our time.

Consider this: Dillard won for best band that year, and Summer Camargo won the composition contest and the Ella award for best overall soloist. That’s like winning homecoming queen and prom queen in the same night the football team wins states. If you look at all the stuff she did while she was still in high school - Grammy band, NAfME, NYO Jazz - you could conclude that she was embarking on a career that has seen her play in numerous settings with her own group and others.

She got them dizzy cheeks tho lmfao

Congrats to Summer for landing the trumpet chair in the SNL Band!

Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie would be proud of these young musicians

God that girl could play

I love how into the music the pianist is

Mingus quote by the tenor player

She Good!!

what a jam

it’s crazy how summer was only 16 and played like that

Aaaayyy Ms and Mr NYO Jazz

Why is nobody talking about that tenor solo?

❤

reall, great solos ❤❤❤ But the vocal intro ... well ... what would Dizzy say? 😢

What is the piano player's name

Great 😊👌👌 horn arrangement Great horn playing A woman excelling on a trumpet, an instrument usually associated with men

The vocalist has a few intonation problems. The band is awesome and Camarga is brilliant. Kudo's also to the guy on lead trumpet, he is a rock ! The second trumpet solo was not comparable. Few people would be !

SHEEEEEEEE SH

Heard a lot of Monk with that Piano player

Written solo.

Trumpet is an instrument for frogs.

Noblesville did it better

Just something off. Doesn't feel like jazz. Feels like a marching band trying to play a jazz stand cheer. Is dizzy the trumpet teacher? Way too much puffed cheeks. Gross
