Please Nathaniel, don't hurt em. I loved that he was matching Skylar's energy for like 12 bars and then he ramped it up.

[@robegerton8923]

@@MonologueMusicals I liked how he borrowed her nail varnish!

[@stupoo]

Skylars solo was fantastic

[@natenied991]

IK I RECOGNIZED SOME FROM EE, THAT CLARINET AND TRUMPET DUDE

[@jeffchang4502]

Thank you for crediting these musicians, I wish NYO USA/NYO Jazz would take a few extra minutes to acknowledge these deserving musicians.

[@MrGuto]

Clarinet player is having a blast

[@kennethtalbott2233]

some mighty fine playing. well done. i love the contrast between the two trumpets, she had a lovely jazz sound, loved her solo then the other dude with some great playing and amazing lip trills. fabulous.

[@kurttoy5035]

Love seeing young men and women engaging in real music like jazz and swing!

[@devincalderon4919]

I like how the piano solo had a ragtime feel

[@lenwood1962]

These kids can play!

[@relaxingmindfulnessmusic]

Now that's Jazz! Great squad! All the musicians were polished like newborn brass. I completely enjoyed every note. I am so grateful this performance was captured on video. Kudos to everyone that helped put together this very special presentation.

[@davidgeorge9304]

After the piano solo, the entire band comes in and really rips it! Fantastic contrast.

[@bobjenkins8015]

Wow, excellent playing all around. The young lady with the first trumpet solo has some impeccable timing!

[@mexiatexas1]

First trumpet solo was as tasty as they come. I've seen that player perform before. Most who can play like that, with solo ideas that solid, have a high IQ. They know things...

[@bobblues1158]

Great. What lucky kids. A great teacher!!!!

[@fcolobong]

Holy shit that first trumpet solo!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@johnnyquest9519]

[@user-fu8sz4tk7c]

Young folks swinging, huh. Damn

[@flix_sand]

the first trumpet solo player looks kinda scary

[@dipster381]

Why are the nails painted?

[@zollychan]

cuz they like to paint their nails

[@dipster381]

No, like what is the meaning behind it with this group. We know that Penn J. does it in memory of his mom. That is alll@@zollychan

[@zofercrazy149]

Tradition in nyo to paint your nails red

[@spncrprkr]

trombone solo was kinda ass but the rest were good. great arrangement too!

[@bamb0049]

dynamics are way off wind players need to project and play

[@supmet2]

I wonder if any of these kids are ever asked for any original musical thoughts they might have.

[@BB27823]

Dumb comment

[@hisnameisdean]

I wonder if you ever appreciate the hard work that these professional musicians in their teens put in. I'm assuming you choose to ignore the countless lines that they made up themselves in their solos as well. I saw you commenting too on Essentially Ellington competition videos. It seems like you're very insecure about your own work that you act out this self-loathing in the form of putting down musicians who are much younger and probably even better than you are.

[@markg.1159]

The first trumpet soloist, Skylar Tang, also won an award for best original composition.
