Transit - Darcy James Argue's Secret Society 

I really enjoy this band, and dig this chart. When I hear it I ask myself "Why can't I write something like that?"

My Jazz professor is here

I played this my senior year of high school and it was my favorite piece we played that year. Keep up the good work Argue!

Great composer, great band. I see them every time they come to NYC and appear at the Jazz Gallery, best jazz venue for imaginative, innovative, inspiring jazz and associated music. The compositions are thrilling to hear and experience.

For this I'm happy that there is 'you tube'. The background writing!!

playing this for our jazz 1, very challenging piece but so good :)

The best version of this I heard tonight, by the University of Oregon's Jazz Ensemble. The flugel was beyond anything I've ever heard.

Played this last year in my high school jazz band on piano, and even though it took a good couple of weeks to learn the rhythm, it ended up being one of my favorite pieces I have played to date. Keep making wonderful music!

great jazz, great music

thank you for your show in são paulo! it was a punch in the stomach, in trhe good way

Darcy James will come here again, and will perform at the grand theater of the Palacio das Artes in December I work it: D

@classicontemporary You're telling me. I can't feel my face after the first A.

Mr. Argue, i really dig all your work, I'm showing it to all my friends! Im a sax player going to college next year for jazz and music ed, I'm really into new and out there avant garde stuff, any advice?

its a hard work for bass trombone...

"Rhythm is substituting for harmony?" What the hell are you talking about? The music is "static, in the sense of lack of motion?" Did you listen past the opening chorale? If you don't like the music, that's fine. You're certainly entitled to that opinion...maybe Glenn Miller is more your speed. But your comments are idiotic. You might as well have said that the saxes needed more valve juice to get their tuning wax cylinder up to full speed.

ridiculous trumpet solo!

This is wind ensemble music played by a jazz band. Rhythm is substituting for harmony. The leader even conducts like it was a wind ensemble. Not to my tastes or aesthetic for jazz. Not badly done, the players all sound wonderful, but the music is static, in the sense of lack of motion. MBB
