Essentially Ellington 2018: Roosevelt High School - Harlem Congo 

Love how the drummer brought it back after loosing his stick

Im convinced the drum player loosing his stick was planned he handled it so smoothly

I'm really happy he dropped his stick. Because god damn he recovered so well.

DAMN that bari can tell a story!

6:06 yes the demon in the backround. What a legend

These kids are all spectacularly talented...

The drum solo oml

As a Seattle native who played in jazz bands, I'm not surprised to see Roosevelt playing. Them and Garfield high are jazz legends in the area.

Rhythm section holding it down

As a bari player, once i saw him going up to the mic i knew he was about to absolutely rip. Well done my friend, well done.

Bro I need this on Spotify 😭😭

killer bari solo

Tenor Solo was amazing

Gotta love the clarinet solo and quartet. It the best one compared to every other school. They actually sound like clarinetists instead of saxophone players playing clarinet.

Tenor and bari got some sick solos

BRAVO, Young Folks!!!! Bari. Player is my FAV! "All the Soloists were Excellent... As Well as the Orchestra! KEEP JAZZ ALIVE... Thank you Conductor, Parents and Teachers!" :0)

That bari solo was insane

God I loved the clarinet quartet

I’m a sax player but my god can we commend the Bass player

that bari is still amazing even four years later

As a bari player i loved it

Fantastic playin' !! So fresh and vital !! I like the music auf the 1920s/30s very much, playing the music in Germany many times.

Orchestra di ragazzi ,stupendi sono bravissimi. Complimenti👏👏

Let's go

like this too much

NEM TUDO ESTÁ PERDIDO NO MUNDO. ESSES JOVENS SÃO ILUMINADOS POR DEUS. CURTINDO E EXCUTANDO ESSA OBRA PRIMA. JAZZ MARAVILHOSO.

Yes

The drummer is a juicer

This made me regret playing the flute

Tenor sax is particularly good.

1st trumpet looks lowkey like incrediboy (no hate )😂

Fabulous rhythm section! Also it's in Db - not the easiest of keys!

Bari solo ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Damn that savveee

did that bari reference the bari solo from the tji in essentally elllington

Roosevelt High School sweeps

I'd love it if my school even had a music band xd

no dislikes. perfect

Listen to Chick Webb' tune before

3:47 too nice

bruh why does it look like its going at 2x speed.

6:27 the banjo player's face lol

That’s a interesting trombone grip

Go

ITS THE SAME DRUMMER FROM SOLID OLD MAN BEHIND HIM

Hehe the devious drummer looks so sad and lifeless without his drums

Zaje......

Fletcher would’ve ended him.

Lamo, the drummer list his stick

Great drummer but this band has another drummer (sitting in the back here) who is even better!

why was the boi waluigu drummer sitting out????????!!!!😢😢😢😢

Hm

Tom and jerry stuff

who knew xqc could play drums like that

Yes
