@yami yeager Yeah, they played that set twice, one after the other, (evident when the 1st trumpet passes out at one point,) and the 1st was a bit cleaner. That was the year they won a competition at Berklee. I'm a member this year, and unfortunately it's taken a turn for the worse what with our school switching schedules to a non jazz friendly one as it were. Still good tho.

The beginning drum run at 2:18 sounds similar to the drum run in Mario Kart 8's Title theme. A call and response technique is used here, played by trumpets and responded by the saxes. This is rather common in many of Nintendo's OST. Also, the major key also helps it stay light and airy, like Nintendo's OST. But then again, that is just my take...

You're actually right, technically speaking it's not one of his most difficult or complicated. The only things that would give most bands trouble are the sax triplets at 56, the range of the 1st trumpet part, and finding a clarinetist good enough to do justice to Gershwin's intro. Obviously the Phat Band members are all incredibly virtuoso musicians and their tone and inflections make this definitely the best recording of this arrangement, but that doesn't mean it's unplayable. Count Bubba and some of Goodwin's other tunes have much harder technically challenging components to them.

If you look at the 1st trumpet part, you’ll find you need a god to play those high notes. It’s like a ballad or chorale piece, sure the rhythms and notes are easy but you have to go beyond the page and stylistically play it correctly. That’s the difference between an average musician and one that takes it to the next level.
