Syncop8tion - Strasbourg St. Denis (Roy Hargrove) 

Who else is also here for the thousand time?

This is the A Cappella Academy’s most harmonically colorful performance that I personally have ever heard.

They. Transcribed. And. Sang. The. Piano. Solo. Hot. Damn.

Whoever arranged this is really, really good.

RIP ROY HARGROVE. This is amazing work

Scatting in unison. That was f***ing amazing😭 the harmonies were so good too

LYRICS! Hey guys! The lyrics featured in this adaptation of Strasburg were written by Amanda Taylor, who arranged this piece & directed our group. They are: Take a little time and think of you and me Maybe think about the places that you want to see Make a little happy on the St. Denis Let's enjoy all the time we have to sit and daydream Imagine all the things I'd like to do with you You, baby I can feel the love and it'll be here soon There is peace and an easiness here in the afternoon Baby let's enjoy the ride Let the minutes go on by Tell me when you need to go But I like being by your side Would you give me all your love You're the one I'm dreaming of I can never get enough You are the one (You're the one, you are the one) *scat soli* Take a little time and think of you and me (Take a little time and think) Maybe think about the places that you want to see Make a little happy on the St. Denis Let's enjoy all the time we have to sit and daydream

They transcribed and harmonized Gerald Clayton's piano solo!!! 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

This song is a new standard. And Amanda Taylor, the arranger, deserves some _serious_ props for this version. I mean, serious props. This takes a great piece of art and makes me feel something new. Just... wow.

I love the quotes from Gerald Clayton’s solo (pianist from the original). I typically find it sacrilegious to do a cappella covers of jazz standards but this was tasteful and done beautiful. Congratulations this is an achievement of music.

Hi, people go on long rants about how there is nothing better than a high belt but Henny, lemme tell you, there is NOTHING better than the warmth in an alto and contralto's voice!!!!

this slaps just as hard as the original and that's really saying something

I LOVE the alto soloist O.M.G. ANd thE soprano has such a beautIFul voice!! She didn't even seem phased by the high notes

It's a crime this isn't one of the recorded songs! What a fantastic arrangement and performance!!! Amanda Taylor giving this kids fantastic rep as always

Every time I revisit this one it always blows my mind they transcribed Gerald Clayton’s PIANO solo🔥🔥🔥

this is all i’m gonna listen to for the rest of my life now thanks

I strongly wish he had been able to enjoy this wonder before his passing away.....RIP Roy Hargrove.

WE! DID! THAT! i’m obsessed i love u guys

0:46 ここの響きが最高！ This harmony is AWESOME!!!

This pure magic. Love to see that people still love Jazz and the great late Roy Hargrove😪

YAS YAS, more of this pleeeeeaaase!!!

Roy Hargrove is smiling in heaven right now

Probably the best jazz choral I've seen so far. Omg.

I have listened to this a billion times. I thrive on Emily's dance @ 2:30

2:07 that octave leap...my godddd!!!! RIP Roy, you’re so loved!

I'm still so upset that this isn't available with that years Spotify albums. I want this on my playlist! I'm still coming back to listen after 3 years.

Tell me where you wanna go But I like being by your side Won’t you give me all your love You’re the one I’m dreaming one I can never get enough You are the one. You’re the one. You are the one.

Let’s enjoy all the time we have to sit and day dream.

Thank you for this. I'm just arriving home in Baltimore from Roy's celebration of life in Ny. I turn on RU-vid and this was the first video that popped up. AWESOME JOB.

Really fantastic job on this. I think Roy would be really proud to see his music is in great hands.

Who dares dislike this divine creation?

THIS is the kind of music acapella groups should be singing

This is utter perfection... Cant get over how amazing it is..well done everyone..

Damm, respect. The transcribed that complete solo. It sounded awesome 👏🏻

They used Gerald Clayton's solo, that why it sounds so good.

I can watch this over n over again

I love the harmonies, this is crazy

Just when you think that you have heard and seen it all....WOW👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Very impressive one of my favorite modern jazz song

I cropped it from 3:04 and made it my phone ringtone, this is such a great arrangement you guys did! Pure Love!

look at my beautiful humans ugh 🙌🏼❤️

OMG !!!!!!! THESE GUYS ARE OFF THE HINGEY !!!♥️ I just love 'em. They're AWESOME

That was sick. Holy crap I know Roy is looking down smiling and bopping

So sad to hear of the passing of the great talent who composed this tune, Roy Hargrove. If even possible, this magnificent acapella version of one of his best works sounds just a bit more sweet. Rest In Power, Roy!

Oh my how have I only just found this. Complicated brilliance that is simply breathtaking… on repeat…

I am in love with Amanda Taylor

Awesome. Really, really, really worth listening to in a proper sound environment to hear dat bass.

I’m obsessed with this 😍

R.I.P Roy Hargrove, hearing this was not only really enjoyable but so emotional, you guys nailed it :)

TOP NOTCH!!! Love this Jazzy Feel! Becky killed it!!!

Roy would have been so proud. Rest In Paradise Legend

yeah, they did that. WOW

Just want to let you know I've been listening to this about 10 times a day this past week. So, so good. Love it!!!

Wow!! Beautiful tribute to Roy Hargrove Quintet's legendary performance at the New Morning Club in Paris.

there may not be a better vocal performance on record DAMN

So love this song !

I am still obsessed with this.

This was hands down the BEST one I've heard from the academy. This was amazing

This is so outstanding my brain can't even...

They Killed it.....

Absolutely mindblowing sounds so close to the original

This is my most favorite video of all time, it gives me such inner peace and happiness, truly

Still coming back to this! Amazing arrangement and performance

I legit got goose bumps listening to this! Amazing!!

You guys got me emotional very much. Damn we miss you so much ROY

I'm listening to this for an audition but I'm like legit obsessed with it now. Thanks.

DANG

Roy would be so proud

superbe hommage....grandes voix...merci pour roy hargrove....superbe

Ok but did Amanda Taylor also write those lyrics??? WTH is this genius arranger

This is more soulful and swings harder than most instrumental covers of this tune that I've heard. Really well done.

Wow 😳 After picking myself up from the floor with amazement, I'll say it loud n clear!! These kids just simply blew me away 😒....😉🙃🙂

This solo is unbelievable!

RIP Roy....he’d be proud. This is perfect

Awesome - pure genius!

Wow! Brilliant! Soooo good!

I hope this video will never be deleted from RU-vid ;)

meraviglia del mondo! alex from Italy

Theses young people our great Bless you Roy for your body of work

The fact that this doesn't have more views is absolutely criminal. Stunningly clean performance!

2:17 you can tell that they listen to many versions of this tune because it’s at this moment that they quote one of Gerald Clayton’s solos from another popular vid. Legit vocalists right here folks!!!

I can't even imagine the amount of work this must have been o_o

I've listened to it 10 times already! Damn! These young cats are rocking this modern classic!

That was errr ...........doom, doom, yaba, do a d'abda, a daba, d'abda, a-do-a, d'abda da freekin' brilliant

Girl you lead singer are the real deal!

Not sure how I feel about the dancing, but gotta give these cats credit. They sounded great and paid homage to RH. Respect

they didn’t have to snatch my wig so hard and yet they did

Saw this on my feed was like nah no ones gonna do a good a Capella version of Strasbourg... was pleasantly surprised, good job!

Incredible interpretation of the late trumpeter Roy Hargrove's classic.👍

Perfect timing with this video. RIP Roy

great harmonisation, very cool

This is so awesome. Roy’s music will always be with us
