The First Circle-Central Washington University Jazz Band 1 

That lead trumpet was hanging on for his life at the end of this piece. Killed it y’all

Keeping in mind how young these musicians are, why don’t the critics just say thank you and keep in mind they have mothers who love them and read the criticism. For me, I love this performance and particularly the biting horn section. I would give anything to play an instrument with the proficiency and beauty this band has.

Everybody gangsta until the soloist enters the stratosphere🔭

A very well arranged version and perormance of a complex song. You guys are right up there!

Goosebumps!,

tpt’s are so together!

Great college band! Wow!

I love the improvised solo man good job👍

Wow, what a sax soli. Gave me chills.

Beautiful ❤

Fantastic

The drummer is spot on!

Wow. Great solo! Great over all and polished rendition of this amazing tune. Wish the vocals had a larger presence in the recording but that is a technical issue. Love this, enjoyed listening to this. Just goes to show Pat's material will stand the test of time.

Some great talent there performing a tricky composition. Sending respect from London UK.

Brilliant 👏

Sounds good! Very tight!

One of my favorite tunes. You guys at CWU have a great program. I’ve hired some guys from that program and I can see the students come out ready for professional work.

These guys are tight!

Very well done. I do wish I could hear the female vocal with all this tight music.

Yeah man!

Trombone section was wonderful

Muito bom!!!

I don't think her mike was working. I didn't hear a note out of her.

Yeah! Brought water to my eyes. Great Metheny/Mays tune played with respect. Band instructor could have leaped off stage if it weren't for his academic station :-)

That's great! Particularly enjoyed the sax solo substituting Mayes's piano solo. Made me think of Michael Brecker or Courtney Pine.

Young drummer is solid

Great job guys,the soloist reminds me of Branford Marsalis 👍

The trumpet section sounds great. The trombone section sounds great, too, with the lead trombone taking stylistic cues from Dick Shearer of the Stan Kenton band.

Recording sound quality is TOP

Nice job on a complex song to perform!

👏👏👏👌🙋

well done guys! super smooth..... just wanted to hear a little more of the vocalist... this is such a Pat Metheny thing to include this as an "instrument"

Love to see ladies representing on drums and bass trombone. Fantastic performance. Bob Curnow arrangement?

Lyle Mays, on soprano sax. RIP Lyle, 2020.

trumpets laying it down

Good job guys!

Lead trumped is pooped by the end haha, great effort

Hey you guys play DCI'S greatest hits. Wonderful.

It seems the singer’s mic wasn’t working :/ didn’t hear her at all

Nice. Sounds better than my high school jazz band, although not much of an achievement

Ah yes the song of clapping

tenor and fuegelhorn are so out of tune in the beginning oml

I thought the piece as a whole was well-performed, but the sax soli could have been so much more. I feel like they could have done more with the dynamics, and I know it's imitating a guitar, but I really like what the Curnow band did with lead alto in terms of balance in the soli. Good job, though. P.S The piano seems to play off in a good amount of spots, most notably the sax soli. Is this a technology problem?

Mi spiace dirlo, ma questi brani di Pat & lyle non si prestano assolutamente ad essere arrangiati per Big - Band - "ne esce fuori un gran casino".

they shouldve tuned

Can not hear the vocal,

Is that a blonde on bass trombone? Lol that's sexy :D

I can't hear the vocal...

Sorry. The performance is empty of “feelin’”.

All running too much... And where is the girls voice??? Solo sax soprano is totally out... My gosh haha
