Over a school break, I went home transposed the Alto part to tenor and memorized the entire thing. Then we came back and our director said that we weren't playing it

A jazz song where you can here the guitar! Now that's something you don't hear every day! (If you're a jazz guitarist you know what I mean lol)

I like how most of this comment section is high schoolers

I once tried to play the tenor solo in a concert, but I had to simpllify it. Still hit that altissimo tough !

I remember getting drafted into jazz band my senior year of high school because the trombone player outed me as a bassist and the director wanted to play this one lol. he knew our guitarist wasnt going to be able to carry this one.

When your director says to play the bass part on tuba...

As a trombonist, this bass hurts my arm

so glad my friends forced me to be in jazz band this year as a senior in high school. during one of the concerts in the middle-ish of the year, we got to see another school from the district play this tune, and my GOD, it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Playing this on bass guitar has given me severe mental scars. Good song though.

かっこよすぎて聴くたびに表情筋が緩んでニヤけちゃう好き

サックスソロとギターソロかっこいいにも程があるだろっ！惚れるわこんなん！

I was gonna play this in my hs jazz band for the 4th quarter but then school got canceled due to corona :(

Shoutout to the comments that just appreciate the song instead of criticizing other interpretations and other comments

Such a fun tune makes a great set ending!

God, Big Band swing like this & Moanin’ by Charles Mingus really get my adrenaline pumping and I love it when it happens.

いつ聞いてもカッコイイ✨

We're playing this in jazz band...lucky me on the bari sax :)

The Big Phat Band came to the Gene Harris Jazz Festival yesterday and they were UNBELIEVABLE. We were all blown away. I honestly wanted to cry, but I couldn't stop smiling! They played Jazz Police as their encore, and I just AHHHH I can't even describe how amazing the whole thing was!!!

I'm at a summer camp for Gordon Goodwin's band (meaning I'm working with some members of the band themselves!!!) and I'm doing second on this song. As we were playing, Gordon himself came in and listened to us play his own song. It was terrifying but really cool!

My band director turned the Tenor solo to a Alto solo, I feel so offended

Gordon Goodwins Big Phat Band is amazing, The Jazz Police is the best one of them all.

I got to play this over the summer with Eric Marienthal in the Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band Camp, and while the band I was in didn't sound anything like the Big Phat Band, it was still cool to have Eric himself conduct and guide us through it!

Gordon Goodwin is a freakin genius

Came here to remember playing this my freshman year, man I miss the jazz band. This was all time one of my favorite songs to play when i was lead alto, and now still one of my favorites as the jazz guitarist for the band. Can't wait to get back with the band and play again.

ジャズフェスでどっかの学校がやってて格好良かったから 聞きに来たら本家の格好良さが物凄くて惚れました...

Played this as the lead trumpet back in the HS days. Big pimp had the upper register

I remember playing this for my first jazz band concert and the piano died midway, still catchy though :)

Im trying to convince my band director to play this next year it sounds so fun to play :3

This was my High School's encore song for 3 years; it was the crowd favorite. We also played God Rest Ye Merry Gentelmen, Let it Snow (for Christmas obviously), Hit the Ground Running, High Maintenance, Rippin n Runnin, and a few others that we had but never performed (I think Phat Pack and Count Bubba were 2 of them).

go baritone sax, go!

trying to learn sax and this song at the same time in 3 days ive been given the impossible

VROOOM

My teacher has me playing the tenor part an octave up on clarinet. It''s an absolute blast, but WOW is it high!

This brings me back to high school. I LOVED playing this song on bari sax. Too bad we couldn't go to competition because we never had any trombones.

My jazz class is doing this for our jazz consent and it's going to be lit. This is the best jazz music

YESSS that bari thou!!! being the only bari is hard but really fun!xD

I remember back in Middle school I signed up for Jazz band and we were playing this. Unfortunately at the time I didn't appreciate it and dropped out of Jazz band pretty early on. I wish I enjoyed this song as much then as I do now

Those altissimo notes on the tenor sax...

Picking up Bari and wanting to learn this I'm sad lol.

2:53 gutar solo

That bari sax in the background3

My favorite jazz piece ever!!!

Yas I love playing this on my trumpet!

the last 20 seconds never gets old

One of my favorite things to play on alto sax, currently In my freshman year of highschool

The tenor solo made me rethink everything I almost died

I love this soo much

we're playing this in my marching band show!

Nice!

Can't play this to save my life

I Must Admit, Everyone! Buddy Cop Movie Musics are My Favorite That I Love So Much, They Are Very Jazzy To The Max! :-)

As listening to my High schools Jazz band perform this song, sounds identical as peformed in a studio. And yeeeeeees Keep up with the bari, slwoly dieing out, as a Bair sax player myself (only one to Highschool marching band XD) its a hard job to keep with rest and still be heard cough tubes block out and baritones cough

my jam fo sho

*Civilian calls* *Police:* 911, what’s your emergency? *Civilian:* There aren’t enough likes on this video!!!

just got this in jazz band, playing guitar.

Trumpet!!!

fire

oh boi, cant wait to play this as lead bari

Absolutely love listening to this piece and am simply psyched out that you can actually hear the guitarist, not to mention the bassist has some awesome jams and grooves. However, as a trombone player, I'm not really sure what the trombones are doing most of the song. Trumpets get some cool licks and chances to shine, saxes always get cool licks, guitars actually stand out, bassist is groovin', drummer is rockin', and even the piano has some little fills here and there, but trombones sound like... they're just making trumpets look better by adding meat to their chords, or doubling the low saxes on some runs, while trumpets go off and do their own thing here and there. Maybe at about the 0:48 mark, but that's about all I can think of. Unless Trombone 4 is doubling bari sax throughout the piece, which if he is... kudos. I know some jazz bands and pieces do that. Still would love to play this piece... always love playing the bass bone for jazz band. My trombone professor always referred to the bass trombone as the Instrument of the Heavens because of all that we have to do (blast out bass pedal notes with clarity and power to assert our band's dominance while still housing a tenor trombone range).

This is in our half time show

Bari love

Nice work Liam

My jazz band at school did this during our 3 day showcase! Sadly my choir had to do a patriotic song in winter (instead of our song from our concert called Winter Moon)

Love this song I'm gonna play it at my B-Exam on Alto-saxophone😄

Muito bom!! Saxxx and rol

There's a pep chart of this that is soooo fun and sounds soooo good. I can't find it though.

We tried this piece one time and I loved it but we didn’t end up playing it

Tenor, Marty

日本人ーーー👍️

I rlly wanna learn this song and it’s goin to be a lot of pratice

I fucking love this song and we are doing this in my jazz band

I just listened to some Cardi-B, and I needed to remember what good music sounded like.

Call the police? More like fire fighters because this song is on fire!

I listen to this in my music class

Needs more bass

If you guys like this check out Rhapsody in Blue by Gordon Goodwin and the Big Phat Band.
