I know people are saying this was too fast, but I honestly feel like their take on this piece was killer. They knocked it out of the ballpark!

And here I am being told the Air Force doesn't do anything well. Nonsense.

here 11 years later and this is still look like it was uploaded to modern youtube

You're gonna carry that weight... ;-; "Bang"

I think they've used the original solos as a bass and improvised. They aren't playing it wrong. Improv is part and parcel

the glasses of the Tenor sax dude...

Bari-Sax clearly the youngest, and loving the groove. Well done gentlemen!!

If I knew that I could play this while in the USAF, I would've tried to stay in! Haha. Awesome guys. Yeah it's a little faster than it was intended to be, but meh, who cares? If a song sounded the same every time another group covered it, then they wouldn't be playing music...they'd just be repeating a song. I think you guys did awesome, and I would've been overjoyed to hear this being played anywhere in public. Glad to see others appreciating The Seatbelts... Oh, and thanks for serving :)

This was great!

This is the best thing ever.

That was amazing!

That was great. See you space cowboy...

Well done, and thank you for your service!

nice quartet. They did a really well job for such a difficult piece of music.

ah look at all these men of culture

I LOVE YOU PEOPLE, THIS WAS AMAZING, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS LITTLE MOMENT OF NOSTALGIA AND PLEASURE!!

Nice version! It has your own tweaks wich is cool to hear :D

keep playing you beautiful glorious bastards!!!! *salute*

i clapped from my house i would of loved to hear this live BRAVO !!!!!

Muito bem afinados, exelente apresentação.

Slick. God bless

great job :) Sax Quartet is a lovely song

00:18 i dont know why but that part just warms my heart

Anyone stating that the solos need to be played "right" needs to relearn the series that is Cowboy Bebop. Jazz was a huge part of the series, HUGE. They used the titles of Jazz standards as their episode titles and calling the episodes "sessions" was even a musical reference. Nevertheless, two of the most important elements in jazz (in a broad sense) is swing and improvisation. Even tweaking the heads of standards is part of jazz.

that's was awesome!!!

Great job!

So cool！！

"...Bebop or bop is a style of jazz characterized by fast tempo, instrumental virtuosity and improvisation based on the combination of harmonic structure and melody..."

Nice one! But aren`t they a bit to fast? I rembered Sax Quartet slower ^^"

Best vid i seen today :)

best I've seen on youtube!

best cover aroud there

o_o That is Cowboy Bebop. -salutes-

Love from Israel :)

😍

Awesome anime cover

great job. remember though, that jazz is a comfortable groove

Not bad, Air Force!

that guy with the aviators is pretty slick ;D

@Progamer2003 It's hard to make a song sound just like it does in a recording, I'd say these guys get an A+!

Often, it's just people coming to a video they did not mean to see because they thought it was something else, so they simply "dislike" it because they feel cheated.

@itomonster101 The alto solo was initially cut so that we could fit it into the set the first time we performed it... since then the cut has kinda stuck...

@dodgerlives, it's quite apparent he's talking about the people who dislike this video.

tempo is supposed to be quarter note = 120ish but still pretty awesome

Dat Air Force tho !!

@Leala93 there's an annotation for how to find it.

Jazz musicians in uniform

loved it! wonder if u could tell me where u got tha sheet music for it?

watch out with the dragging in the middle of the tenor solo. nice little embelishes in the soprano sax, and also very nice on the improv around the written solo. I dig it. Would have also loved to hear the bari slap tongue but not a huge issue.

0:16 from soprano sax to an instrument that can make chicken sounds.

2 army band members watched this vid

Hnnnng, that bass line. I want to find this for brass, to transpose.

a silver lacquered soprano, what WILL they think of next?! :O

I'm air force myself and a huge fan of cowboy bebop, and seeing a senior master sergeant in on this makes my day. What base are they out of? would love to meet them, been considering going guard but I'm probably going to wait till I get back from overseas before I make a decision

Channel Islands ANG Base, it's the 562nd Air Force Band. I know it's been 12 years since you asked but whatever haha

ok this is fucking awsome lol

Dude everyone in the Airforce is a major weebbbb

Does anyone have the score to this? My quartet really wants to play it but we need a published score. Thanks!

I want the score of this music!

in jazz a solo can be whatever you want it to be thats why its called "improvisation" there is not "playing it right"

This may be quartet but its still jazz. Jazz is all about improv, not playing someone else's solo.

the HEAD OF THE CHART IS NOT TO BEW TAMOERED WITH! saprano player....

wats the instrument farthest to the right??

most of it is but the solos aren't. also slightly depends how fast you take it

Where did they get the idea to play this song?

awesome but not my tempo 😂

The tenor solo was good, wat happened to the alto one though?? Great job anyway!!

ALTO SOLO?!?!?!?! WERE?!?!?!?!

im sorry i didn't mean that it was random. i play jazz and i understand the structure too it but what i meant is that you cant say that one person played the solo the correct way. everyone can improvise there own melody it doesn't have to be what someone else did.

Now I wanna beat the shit out of a thief, and get the Police to pay me for it.

Actually jazz solos are not random or whatever you want, you must follow chords and what the others are playing, a half step in music played next to an adjacent half step sounds terrible. Improvisation just means that you play the same chord structures in a way that is not written. Of course if they were playing a solo with no one else they could take more liberty in their playing, but they would still need to follow the basic structures of jazz and music in general.

Everytime I see a cover of this song, the tempo is always too fast. The rhythm of it makes it sound frantic, but it's supposed to be real lax. It's supposed to be a light-hearted song to go with some funny antics.

Talented as all hell but you fine folks are going WAY TOO FAST for this song. Slow down, let the strength of each part punch through. That's the beauty of this song. Not how brisk it can be. Whomever decided this had to be played faster, tsk tsk.

too fast.

Weebs But I can't really be talking.

it was to fast and the solo wasnt very good. just saying thats why you can dislike it.

Eww....they’re not very good. :/
