Phil Cobb performs O Holy Night with the International Staff Band 

Wow, you just don't expect to see something like this from one of today's most successful classical players, especially the Principal Trumpet of the LSO. Love the versatility in his playing. What an awesome performance!

The cadenza at the end gives me life omg

Phil Cobb never ceases to amaze me. The musicality, the nice swing, the brilliant diamond-sharp tone, the ability to swap instruments and immediately take on their tone colour. There's a great video on RU-vid of Phil and the LSO under Michael Tilson-Thomas playing Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F, beautiful trumpet solo from Phil. They end the concert with Shostakovitch's 5th Symphony and Phil, of course, ends it with a top E! His predecessor, the late and very great Maurice Murphy, was known to throw in a couple of octaves. The LSO brass section are in very good hands with Phil. He's filling some very big shoes, extremely well!

This has brought back some very dear memories. As in the Days when Roland Cobb and my father were in the band, i spent many a hour just listening to what i consider to be the best in the world. may the Lord be with you. Frank Biggs son of Lt Col fred Biggs.

Just beautiful.

Ayyy definitely now my second favorite performance of this, next to only Bergeron

Wow. Deadly. Big band sound with this is refreshing indeed, Philip.

Well done Phil David Kidd Major

what a beautiful tone and talent

Incredible. Thanks Phil for sharing this. And thanks Steve and the ISB for taking time to record this.

Sensational performance. They all performed from the ❤️.

I will be one of the lucky ones at Christmas thanks to all you good people I will be receiving a hamper,I just want to say thank you from my heart,and I sincerely in time would like to pay back and do some work or what ever I can to help.but for now thank you and a healthy new year to you all .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

A wonderful Salvation Army celebration ,

Wow what a great flugel sound and beautiful phrasing 👍😎 fat trumpet too.

I'm catching up with this 6 years after it was posted! Simply glorious, and it did its job...it uplifted me no end. This is musical ministry at its best. And did I hear a 'snatch' of 'What I Did For Love' at 0:30? Pretty sure I did.

beautiful

Nice touch and very clean arrangement of a classic carol.

Love this video

What a pretty tone - Loved the Flugel nuances on the hold on the last chord :)

Phil, and everyone else, beautiful playing! Shout-out to the very sweet euphonium work. Geat work! Thanks.

great ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ ♫♪ ♫♪great sound! ♫♪♫♪ ☺ ♥ ♫♪☺♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪☺ BRAVISSIMO @bisbis 🎶🎵🎼 great music! a well tuned ensemble that sounds like an organ ! Fabulous banding

Awe inspiring playing. Wishing the ISB and Phil Cobb a very merry Christmas and fantastic 2017.

Nice work ISB. Phil is pure talent. Watching from Kenya West Territory

Brilliant

Probably one of the most beautiful solo that i had ever seen in my life , congrats

Wonderful playing. Well done all.

Superb!

Love the arrangement! Awesome player and band. Happy Christmas to you all!

India Eastern Territory is celebrating our 100th anniversary next year in 2017. I wish we could see your band live.

absolutely brilliant!

Consider my day made. Non-traditional? Perhaps. Outstanding? Absolutely!

I was hoping for Bergeron's double-C... ...Oh, well... ...Still, very nice, even with but a "G"! EXCELLENT VIBRATO! Thanks for posting.

Nice I am also salvation Army ⟬⟭💜

A great band...a great player, who expresses his passion every time he plays.As Yugiold says below...outstanding? Absolutely.

GREAT!

Mainly fabulous flugel, Phil Cobb actually changes to TRUMPET (in the Salvation Army!) for a wildly jazzy break. Worth a listen if any of that interests you.

Very nice,thk you.

Thanks - really enjoyed this!

The run at 2:42 is really nice!

Toll..... und der Dirigent kaut Kaugummi....

Che dio vi benedica grandemente amen

Ooh man this guy is a natural! What a performance by the band! Very nice and well made RU-vid video. However, i was expecting that double C at the end 😉😂👏🎺..it's ok though

Anyone have a link to purchase the arrangement?

Oh Wow!!

Pretty impressive to be able to do, Orchestral, Brass band and lead jazz playing!

Shades of Louis Dowdeswell

Wish the conductor would chew his gum with the beat though.

Sem palavras

Siate felici fede dio adempie quello che ha scritto

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Totally awesome great player, great band and a great arrangement of a classic! I can see by the comments that some continue to be totally "stiff and rigid" in the face of talent and innovation!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎶🎵🎺

If you like this, check out Wayne Bergeron's version. Incredible.

Is this album on any music streaming platform?

Outstanding!!!! What flugelhorn is that?

Fantastic playing and wonderful arrangement. Just one question - where does Derrick disappear to about 1 minute into the track? :-)

Nice ending. The way Classical music has gone it's no longer enough to read, play in tune/time and know literature. You gotta have some chops. Take note, The Kubis version is in Concert C, but this rendition in B flat Which works adequately but remember that lowering the key changes the orig arranger's intent. I don't blame Phil for leaving out ht C.

I want to buy this sheet music Where can I buy? I really want it. Please😢😢😢

Is this arrangement available for purchase anywhere?

Good version, shame it's one step below the original, and there is no double D! But, whatever, good version!

Where was the dubba d

Is the music for this available?

Omg

What is that movenent called at 2:43 he does to scale up to the high note

2:13

.....is phil wearing a Brietling watch ?

How is the soloist related to the B/M?

How can I buy this score?

I figli di sion hanno la salvezza assicurata sta scritto in Isaia 49 verso 25 infondo a questa scrittura dio dichiara a sion : io avversero I tuoi avversari io salverò I tuoi figli

Excellent version but the point goes to Wayne Bergeron.

Dio sterminera I nemici di gerusalemme che è sion e glieli rincondurra in trionfo , come su un trono regale ,e scritto in baruc 5 verso 6 , ma leggete il finale di gerusalemme che è sion che sarà glorioso decretato da dio , sempre in baruc 5 verso 1 a 6..

Thanks for grown up reply. If i wanted to hear that i would go to Ronnie Scotts jazz club. Not a criticism of Phil ...just not an ISB standard piece.

SUPER !!! Aber warum kaut der Dirigent auf einem Kaugummi oder ähnlichem herum ???? Das macht das ganze Video schlecht, Schade :( Zuhören ist schön, zuschauen macht keine Spaß.

Just missing a super D...

Who needs nasty woodwinds anyways?

seth rogen

Wonderful playing but not suitable as a jazz piece

SA bandsman but that was a hideous arrangement!!

Che dio vi benedica grandemente amen
