I had the joy and honor of being one of Sean’s high school band directors in Warren, Ohio in the mid-90’s. Not only was he the finest student musician of my 35-year career, but I can honestly say he more than equals his trumpet virtuosity as one fine human being! His warm, caring and humble personality, family values and his passion for the Lord as well as for his horn, are the qualities that set him apart from so many of today’s shallow music superstars. BTW, he used “Cherokee “ at 350bpm as a warmup before HS band rehearsals!! LOL

Expanding on my comment below as one of Sean Jones’ HS band directors - A TRUE STORY - Yes, Sean was actually in marching band! Truth be known, I think he was just “ok” with marching in order to play in the jazz ensemble, where his heart definitely was. We had a fine musical tradition at Warren G. Harding HS and a marching band of around 175. Sean was section leader and featured soloist. I had written a short arrangement for 5 trumpets of Bill Chase’s 70’s jazz-rock hit, GET IT ON, to use as a stadium cheer. None of the 5 trumpeters (my son was one of them) knew the song or had heard of the trumpet-loaded rock band “CHASE”. After we read it down, I glanced back at Sean and noted a satisfied grin and a little head nod. Well, on the second run-through, there was our man, Sean, effortlessly playing the already challenging lead part a full octave higher…flawlessly…the cascades and all! That was Sean just being Sean! So that’s exactly how we played the cheer until he went off to college. He listened many times that week to my vinyl album of CHASE, thrilled to have discovered yet another trumpet wizard he could draw inspiration from. A kid in a candy shop! Even now, when we talk in person, he never fails to bring up how grateful he is for that teaching/learning moment frozen in time. (I never told Sean that I HAD considered writing that part 8va, but I thought, naw, he’ll do it anyway!)🎺😆 For readers who may not be aware, “Chase” was a high-powered horn band formed in 1970 by Bill Chase, former lead trumpet for Maynard Ferguson and Woody Herman. They were propelled by a powerful lead singer and a horn section comprised of Bill and three other talented trumpeters. Their success was tragically cut short when Bill Chase and most of his rhythm section perished in a chartered tour plane crash in 1974. Check out their live GET IT ON performance on KZread.

Jazz may not be the hottest art form around, and New York may no longer be the center of the jazz universe, but there are plenty of people here that appreciate and admire the skill required by the individuals to create such a collective masterpiece. And each time it's performed, it's a different, new little masterpiece. THAT'S jazz. But their blend of technical and creative expertise transcends the genre of this piece, and as a musician still learning, practicing and performing my craft after 40 years, I can both respect and be awed by the difficulty required to perform said piece so magnificently.

Tyr Morris ..... well to name some, clarinet, saxophone, flute, oboe, trumpet, trombone. Enough for you? And I'm a college professor and teach people how to play jazz. I've trained generations of musicians in 30 years. But, entertainment sales are only about 5% jazz. And for the most part, average American people hate jazz, and will even start a fight with you if it's playing someplace where they can hear it. So, yes, these musicians are awesome. But they are students, and my concern is where will they go for employment once their training is complete? What's the point if one cannot survive? I have been hoping for the last 30 years that things would change, but they haven't, and really are only worse now than ever. Btw I mean no hate to you, these musicians, or anyone. Peace and be well.

@@rkomada88 If you can play jazz at a high level, you can play anything they want for Broadway style shows, jazzy portions of soundtracks, etc. Dance bands are still a thing too. It doesn't have to be stereotypical jazz. Jazz has evolved beyond just swing even if some people (Marsalis) don't recognize it. Even then, is everyone in this group primarily focussed on jazz? How many of them have a different primary instrument or are non-music majors? I did jazz as a trumpeter but my primary instrument was the organ. Most of the people in the jazz band weren't even music majors. In fact, I would guess that the vast majority of the band and choir members when I attended University weren't music majors. Of those music majors, most were in the music ed program or had a dual major with music performance and a non-music field.

Bravo Sean Jones. This is one of the best trumpet solo of cherokee that i ever heard.

Rat Noble was an English bandleader (he appears in the Fred Astaire movie "A Damsel in Distress" as "Reggie"). The chord structure for this tune was used for Charlie Parker's "Ko Ko". Parker just wanted to play ""Cherokee" but didn't want to pay the royalties. "Ko Ko" was about 300bpm. Don't know if Parker "invented" playing the tune at hyper speed, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I can play it, it's just alot of concentration and practice. help me

Love it! ....Great technical prowess! Musicianship A+++

Well, that was just a good time!

Trumpet player & drummer great...burning tempo!

Now if there still existed touring bands and venues like Woody, Basie, Ellington, Buddy, Thad , Mel , Maynard and more. The fact that that the trumpets come out front and know their parts is the professional thing that attracted audiences. Promotion of this genre could make money for the people in the middle, the bookers, managers promo people. Some one person with love of it and the the capital could bring this back. In America, one can sell anything with the right marketing. It is still called " The Music Business or the Music Industry"

My lips would have died out and brain exploded 2-3 mins as that soloest trumpet player

This music helps me relax when listening to it when I work👍

Absolutely incredible

wonderful. always.

If you think this is fast i implore you to look up “unt cherokee rehearse”. The rhythm section is insane.

Amazing! A fine example of what I call "athletic" jazz. It's purpose is to use music to show off and display the musicians' skills. Like young, in-shape athletes at a track meet all trying to run faster, jump higher and out-do each other. As opposed to melodic jazz where musicians use their talents and skills to show off the beauty of the music. Cherokee is notoriously challenging to the rhythm section, especially stand-up bassists. They have to do most of the heavy lifting while the soloists get the spotlight. I'm glad I'm an old cat and not required to do this much any more!

masterpiece

Great arrangement and fantastic performance by all. Charlie Barnett is smiling down.

Know this an old video but the soloists all went off! Very tight groove and heck of a performance, could watch this on repeat!

Hello :) I hear what you're saying but I don't agree. Popular stuff is what gets shoved in people's face all the time, so of course they're going to like that....and when they hear musicians like this, they're not going to like it, b/c it's pretty different. And w/ classical it's sad b/c most people I talk to aren't even aware of 20th century and modern classical, and how relevant it is to today's society....and how when I expose it to people, they want to hear more. "All that I thought was out there was Mozart, Beehoven, etc". Just saying that ideally, in any other profession, the highly skilled people are the ones that make the $. This largely isn't the case in music. What makes me sad about pop is that's is a cool genre, but when highly skilled musicians go into it, they can't get a break b/c it seems to be flooded by people who have raw talent but not very much skill. And it seems like the record labels aren't really looking for skill....they're looking for flashy, entertainment stuff.....which is fine if people like that. I try to listen to some popular stuff. I've found some progressive rock bands where the people in them have put in the work and study (like dream theater), so I'll listen to groups like that. So anyway I guess I fault the industry and the media. Not trying to tell people what to like.

Fantastic !
