huh. my band directer JUST had us learn this piece like 3 weeks ago, its the first time ive heard it and i love it. shame that it has this kind of history

Oh my, how cruel. I had no idea that a song that I enjoyed playing in band was this dark. The video was well produced by the way.

Thanks and good that you know now!

Nice to see the vid un-unlisted

Great video. Very thorough and well made. You covered all the various aspects, especially for people who weren’t aware of it.

Had no clue how dark this song was. My band director is having us play this right know and it’s my favorite song. Sad to know the history of though.

Bro my band director gave us this as our trombone ensemble last year

I just downloaded the picc part not too long ago just for fun, I had no idea it had such a dark and awful history

Great video, I was wondering why Lassus trombone was being hated on. But this video answered all my questions!

Ok, i didn't know about that at all! And i guess i still don't know really know what's all this about(i started play trombone last year so i need to catch about the history and thinks like that). Thanks for the video, it is very important!

Amazing video.

Thanks!

I'm playing this song in band right now and I had no clue about this. The song is so fun to play too. Sucks how the best song I've played in band has this dark of a backstory

A great video of what we really need to know. As artists, we must know this for peace and equality. From Korea.

I, like a lot of people, grew up playing this music. It got pulled out every summer for at least one concert in the park during my youth, and Ive played it in professional settings on many occasions. We can't forget the history of this music, for it is important to remember, but it is time for performers and music groups to refuse to play it. Thanks for this video.

Very well produced video! As an African-American trombonist who can trace his ancestry to slavery, I found this series of musical pieces (if you can call them that) to be highly offensive, repulsive and racist.

As a trombone player, I’ve always despised Lassus Trombone because it sucks. Now I have even better reason to never play it again.

As a trombonist, I always hated Lassus Trombones. It was a lousy piece to play. It made the trombonists look untalented and clumsy. After seeing the video, I have a new major reason to hate this song and songs like it. Bury it permanently. It sucks.

While I might still learn the pieces just for the sake of having glissando jazz pieces to practice with, with this information, I’m definitely not going to perform any of those pieces, and I’m sure as hell not gonna buy any of it

I never thought it musical and just a cheap novelty number. The trombone can do better. This I did not know and no student of mine will play it.
