Hey NS! Thought this would be a good idea to start this thread, being a jazz musician myself. Feel free to post vids or whatever of yourself or band playing some jazz. If this thread does well I will post some of myself for sure. Have fun.

Wow did not expect there to be this many jazz players...I play bass...in school mostly electric cause we play a bunch of fusion stuff and the teacher likes the sound more....but i play mostly upright outside of school and I enjoy playing upright much more

Here are a few videos of the Garfield band a year or so before I came into the program; I couldn't find any current ones.

Went to New Orleans on a class trip 2 weeks ago for a music theory study at LSU. Such a great city, especially getting tanked on Bourbon Street. Also got to see Galactic perform with the Soul Rebels and Trombone Shorty which was probably one of the best shows Ive ever been to.

I have just started to scratch the surface of jazz guitar and I love it. I do not claim to be a jazz guitarist however. My goal is to one day be able to improv over giant steps.

Haha I wish! That's at Essentially Ellington in New York. Wyton runs the competition. Some of those videos are 2009, some are 2010.

I am a drummer and used to be in the jazz band in middle school. I wish Id have continued through high school and to now but the band teacher was a doucher. I recently found out about Monk and Ellington and I ant stop listening to those two. Cannonball Adderley is a straight up boss too.

Hey, a thread I can contribute to. I play first trombone for put school's "B" jazz band (the bad one), but I should be in the A band next year. We didn't play much, but some charts turned out pretty good. I think we did pretty good on Count Basie's Jive at Five, can't find a video though.

DUnno if this has been posted yet but Dave Brubeck died a couple days ago and he is one fantastic Jazz cat. Take 5 and Blue Rondo A La Turk are amazing songs

RIP Brubeck

Been playing electric bass for 6 years, just been getting into jazz in the last twoish years. Really want to learn upright, just dont want to drop 1500 on one hahaha. But Thelonius monk, Tito puente, and Marcus miller are where it's at. But Latin Jazz takes the cake.

Just got back from Essentially Ellington in New York and I figured I'd bring back this thread. Definitely the best musical experience I've had. Watching the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in person was fucking nuts. Unfortunately, we didn't make the evening performance (Tucson took 1st, Jazz House Kids took 2nd, and Roosevelt took 3rd, with Dillard getting an honorable mention), but I figured I'd post one of the songs we played in the prelims.


I'm the clarinet player. Hope you guys enjoy!

Good to know that there's'some jazz player here! Im a drummer myself (ive played for about 9 years now) and i was real keen on hiphop last year but i gotta say that having hours of jazz jam session is one of the greatest thing ever!
