The lead trumpet has so much skill. Very clean high notes and great control. Solo flugelhorn also did a great job

The pianist seems to enjoy this very much

Dude how is that guy's lead playing so clean...

Nice flugalhorn player. Its good to see international jazz!

I have listened to this about 100 times today. Awesome rendition, folks!

This is the absolute greatest version of Children. This band is amazing. Killer lead trumpet and soloist, sax section, trumpet section, bones and rhythm section. Special shout to the piano man. Wow, the things that you do with counter melodies are just incredible.

I've watched this video many times over the last couple of months. I'm also a trumpet/flugelhorn player. This performance is the best one I've ever heard.

Pianist is on! Smooth and clean. Lead trumpet is great as well. His notes are just centered and tight!

what a brilliant performance love chuck mangione and this version

They were behind the iron curtain for so long... love to see those Polish people shine! My great grandpa left there 120 years ago!

Dang. Watching this again much later. The number 2 trumpet guy really belts it and throws it out there. No caution, just pure trumpet gut. Awesome.

Happy birthday to my Dad up in heaven. I remember you playing this with Swansea's Constellation Big Band on tour in Germany in 1990. This drummer's good, but never as good as you. Always in my thoughts xxx

This tune is one of my favourites. This performance is the best in KZfaq. I listened at least 30 performances.

My favorite part of this whole video are the kids leaning up against the stage in front having their faces completely melted off by that lead trumpet!

This is the only recording I can find of the arrangement I played in high school. So many amazing memories! Great job!

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! -Migs

Amazing job of finding something new in a classic piece of music well done

Wonderful. Great arrangement of a great song!

This appeared in my feed this a.m. and what a joy! On the first day of 2021 is a joy for me. Love the children standing up as close as they can get. This was awesome!

This is so awesome! Reminds me on some childhood days. Orchestra and pianist are...speachless. Guys, big bravo for all of you!

amazing,this is magic transformed to music ..the syncopation part on the brass is amazing. i heard this the first time, some years ago, performed by a band from Norway,directed by Helge Haukas..on their visit to Mellieha,Malta..it was a breath of fresh air.AWGURI

Unbelievable performance. Also liked the fact that kids were watching/listening at the front very much. Thank you for posting!

Sick arrangement, performance, and production quality. You guys are amazing

Just perfect!!! 😎Thank you for sharing!

Incredible band and incredible sound in this venue.

Beautiful arrangement, I love it

Thank you Chuck. It is uplifting when those charts get in such talented hands. Wish we could hear you play that tune one more time.

Awesome arrangement and band!!!

This is what happens when Everyone in the room absolutely Loves the song they are playing❤️Bravo

This arrangement is a total banger. Bravo!

Ta wersja po prostu wymiata. Szacun dla Was 👍👍🎺

bass player and pianist digging that lead trumpet at the end!

The absolutely best performance of a known masterpiece . BRAVO to the orchestra , and the conductor that manages to make them play with all this nerve. This is what is we want from this song. Nerve , quick reactions , BRAVO the best version i've ever heard . And there are lots of them.

lmfao i love the bassist so much he's exactly like me, relaxed as possible posture, massive smile plastered on my face

i love that arrangement!!!

Thank ypu so much❤

Rythm pulse is ongoing , beautiful . Unique . Congrats . You are the best guys.

The drummer for president!👌🏻

Woah i love this music!!!❤❤ Trompete is so magical!!🎉🎉

Wonderful muzik arrangement piece. Great sounds. My favourite Chuck Mangione tune. Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.

such a fun song to play!

Love it ❤

Awesome swinging impecable tight playing! Wow! Lead Trumpet was awesome!

Fantastic!!!

incredible performance

That performance was OFF the HOOK.....................Wonderful job Gentlemen ! Had the little LADIES with a front row seats.....................There Lucky !

Phenomenal performance.

fantastic!

The whole band sounds great!

Me fascinan estas orquestas tocando en directo, transmiten tan buena energía 🎉bravo 👏

clear and beautiful

Great Band, awesome arrangement, bass bone, I play this arrangement in a local big band, one of my favorites. Bone section is tight!

I have to say, this is the best rendition of this masterpiece ive heard since I heard Swansea's Constellation Big Band play it in a 1990 tour in Germany. My late father was the drummer, and I have to say, this drummer comes very close. Really good!! My dad was a professional drummer from the age of 14. He always told me, a good drummer drives the band, and in this video, the drummer did just that. If I closed my eyes, I was back in Germany. Thank you ❤

AS A BANDEE ! EXCELLENT BY THE SHARP ELEVEN ! EVEN IF ITS 17 IN THE BAND !

Absolutely grand

Nice....love it !

Love it 😘

What an amazing version of this classic tune. I just wish the bass bone was more present with that killer bass line.

El tema es realmente agradable al oído y al sentimiento latino y en general para quien lo aprecie

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

I love Mangione. And I feel it ❤️

Every single instrument had great performance but I loved the drums most

Great drummer… great dynamics , technique, reading , drum cymbal sound, great performance

Beautiful

The nearest to the original one. Fantastic.

Fantastyczne...👏👏👏

Fantastyczna historia 👍 Niezliczona gwardia inspirujących przewodników z nadprzyrodzonymi zdolnościami 👌👍🙏 Niezatarty ślad i dowód doskonałości 👌👍🙏

Amazing. Klasse. Geiler Sound

Großartige Interpretation. Druckvoll, tolles Piano. Super

Great sound

The secondary trumpet guy is really screeching it out. Much more than the front guy. Keep it up!

Very nice. Shame the conductor (the tenor man) cut off the end of the song before the lead trumpet could reach where he was trying to go. Great band.

Spectacular. ☆☆☆☆☆☆

I left a subscription after a few seconds...

Awsome song! Perfect for dożynki!

Espectacular, como Chuck Mangione, esta mùsica es para la eternidad

It took me until the last note to see why they named it the #11 Big Band... beautiful sonorities and great energy, though- I loved it!

O U C H !!!!!!!! Love it.

Geweldig !!!

Nice version guys.

No hay porqué acelerar esta excelente pieza.

That is a beautiful flugel he has. WOW

Wow!!!

good job guys. cong. 🎺🙏🏻

WOW!!!

Nice version. I love chuck mangione since long playing during 1977 . Will you play also Consuelos lulubye and fell so good.

Just when you think it could not be better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're all great, but I believe the lead guy could have been louder and more aggressive, especially when he switches over to trumpet. At one point the sax section drowned him out, couldn't hear him at all. The remainder of the trumpet section really BELTED it out there with NO reservations.

Hola, te hablo desde Colombia, es una maginifica Big Band, estoy encantado con ese arreglo musical, seria posible que me lo compartieras o me dieras un link donde comprarlo, felicitaciones de verdad es genial el arreglo.

Großartig!
