This is proof that just because he’s trombone 3 it doesn’t make it worse then 1 and 2. Elliot is a monster

[@its_thabani]

Isn’t he trombone 2. He sometimes plays first when Vincent isn’t around

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

@@its_thabani technically speaking in a professional jazz band the roles switch up constantly, but in JCLO they give the parts out based on seniority, who has been in the band the longest, I believe that order is Vincent, Chris, and then Elliot. Maybe I am wrong though.

@@upsidedownpyramid7617 Ohh, I didn't know that. Thanks for that

[@thearbyarbiter]

I agree and firmly believe different people are better at different at different things

[@huehue7736]

@@upsidedownpyramid7617when I was up there for a competition I was in a master class with a saxophonist who writes some of the charts and does some of their education stuff. He said he writes parts based on who they thing will convey whatever their trying to on that particular song. For example he wrote a chart for Invisible Woman and he said he thought Mr. Crenshaw would study the origional and go for what he was looking for the most, so he wrote it in his part. Sorry for the lengthy explanation lol

[@ets901]

So we all know that Elliot killed it but props to Obed on the drums. That man kept the tempo on lock

[@JW-sf5ys]

man that's some precision and musicianship..

[@henridelagardere264]

William Alonzo and Cat Anderson are not two separate people but *one* and the same: William Alonzo "Cat" Anderson.

[@kurosakiichigo5067]

Feels weird looking at them play jazz reading a score.
That aside, great performance guys. It's my first time seeing a trombone played like this, that's amazing.
Thanks a lot.

[@oregonberry]

These guys are pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! Best in the world.

[@brucegunia119]

This chart was originally written for and performed by the great Buster Cooper.

[@philipcooper6949]

Thank you Mr. Gunia for the acknowledgement, my name is Philip Cooper, nephew of Buster Cooper "The Bumblebee." I am a Jazz promoter living in LA, are you located in Los Angeles?

[@bwtbone]

@@philipcooper6949 Hello, Phillip. No, I live in Europe but I lived in St. Pete, FL, and got to know your uncle. He was an unforgettable guy and told great stories.

[@raulomargarcia]

I met Buster Cooper. He would be proud of this performance.

[@romeo9017]

[@luisn642]

[@oregonberry]
