I'm really intrigued by this band. How come I haven't heard of them before? Out of all the big bands I've listened to recently, this ensemble have the best performance, guest selection, and song choice. Their quality is so good, it could even warrant a live album. It's a shame that I can't see them live in person. I hope the RU-vid algorithm can recommend some of their videos.
Hello. We are a local/Dallas big band that flew artists in to live record. Initially, tracks were going to be part of a live album to sell. Instead, I thought it would be fun just to post that audio with video from each of the 25 live sessions for all to enjoy. I learn something from each video we posted. Hopefully, others will, too. Enjoy!
@@RAJEJAZZ Thank you for sharing these recordings with me. Even if a full live album were to be released, I would have still wanted to purchase it. The performances of this band are truly outstanding and will remembered as one of the best in big band history, thanks to the excellent guest appearance and song selection. They really couldn't have been any better.
you can watch the best music here for free in good audio quality and you are here complaining about the video quality. So go there and film it better for us.
This is not his band, this is the rebel alliance out of Dallas. They can absolutely cook! They used to meet at buzzbrews in deep ellum every Sunday night. Don’t know where they play now or if they do. When they aren’t hosting epic guests, here’s a hint: the shorter blonde trumpet player on the far right is the reason there is very little paint left on the interior of buzzbrews. Dude can make bats fighting in a microwave sound like low notes. Also the taller trumpet player 2nd from left is Donnie and he runs the band and can destroy lead on just about any chart you put in front of him. I think he enjoys getting other lead players to sit in when he brings guests because he is also trying to run the rehearsal/recording/concert plus he’s in charge of all of the live emergency mouthpiece customizing or modding. Works for me because we get to see lead players from around the country we wouldn’t normally see or have exposure to. It’s like he knows what he’s doing, maybe, probably not, but definitely. 😂
And now... Herbert L. Clarke's The Maid of the Mist played by Louis Dowdeswell on cornet. Live. Not. But, I dare you - followed by many other Clarke solos, yes??? Let's hear it. I think you can do it, Louis.
