This group really swings!!!!! 5 part sax writing, fully memorized, with a lot of flair and vivacity!! I love the curved soprano and bass sax!!A lot of hard work went into that performance! Five brothers!!

Outstanding!!! Unless you're a musician, you have no idea how hard this chart is. Definitely professional level stuff. And from memory, too.

when I went to Disney years back these guys were who I looked for every day. I bought a bass sax after hearing them and to this day still perform with it. They were always fantastic. The sound of that vintage bass is unmistakable.

Wonderful performance. Can’t believe so many people just walked past missing this talented group!

wow dude. the sax quintet is so tight with each other. amazing song! i wish i could play like that..

I end up focusing on that Bass for the entire vid and have to rewatch it lol.

bravo....Congratulations ... the group sounds pretty good .... thanks for the music

My dear departed Dad played trumpet semi-professionally with Alan Ayres Jazz Band for 27 years (1941-68) in Birmingham UK. He whistled this all the time, (along with the jazz riffs he played on his trumpet). Dad you rocked! XX.

Terrific adaptation and amazing use of all five major classes of saxophone!

I would really like to hear a studio recording of this group.

I swear, I would go just to listen to the Tuners.

what a beautiful sound !

In short...great arrangement..great playing

These guys are serious musicians

Great arrangements, lots of swing, the solos are jazzistically coherent and inspired...what else can one ask for? My five stars!

Love it . . . thanks fellers . . . . . . lovely performance of the best swing tune ever!

I would really like to see these cool cats in person, and one day I’d love to call myself one of them

That was GREAT! I love the Manhattan Transfer version too.

That was awesome! Man, they don't make music like that anymore ... and that's why they're called "classics!"

バスサックスがいる！😆 こんなちょーカッコいい演奏を町中で聴けるなんて羨ましい！！！ 👍✨

Disney hired professional (Union) musicians at Disneyland and Disney World from the very beginning to entertain guests. Groups were organized around one of the movies' characters and costumes fit that theme. A great arrangement of the original 1947 Woody Herman big band song - four brothers plus a bass sax to provide backing rhythm. The original sax section called for three tenors and a bari.

Oh my! These guys are just great. My saxquintet (SaxKompaniet) also plays this tune, but can`t ever dream of doing the tune like this! Makes me wanna go to "Disney World?" just to go hear & see these guys!

These are REAL and GENUINE musicians!

I never did... top marks for these guys and their great sound.

I love everything about this performance! Thanks for posting.

man, that bass was amazing

wow....excellent quintet congratulations

Fantastico!! Meraviglioso... you are great!!!

That is so awesome, I love it, next time I meet 4 other brothers, I am going to ask them if they want to go busk downtown man! Why did'nt I think of it sooner!!! You guys are great, I hope disneyland is paying you guys 'real' money!

If you think that the people in the background are nuts, dig this. One night, when Woody was ailing and Frank Tiberi was temporarily fronting the Herd, Stan Getz and his 4tette were the "warm up act". This took place in a reception hall in Oak Brook, IL The diners sat and talk while Getz and his group played. Shame on them.

who woulda thought you could actually have this much fun with Disney characters? I love this tune (is it Guiffre?) and the whole get-up with costumes adds to the humor. Great playing here!

Disney World this may be but this group are definitely not Mickey Mouse! Four Brothers is very difficult to play even with the music in front of you, so to play it as they did from memory is good going!!

cant we all agree that all saxes kick ass?! =D

Wonderful Job. I Love it!

They sound great! :)

They swing so hard !!! cool cool cool

Great players, big sound!

So perfect!

i wish i was alive in that moment

Exellentissime bravo bravo respect !!!!!!!!

The overalls are just thier costumes, they are dressed a bit like the firememn on the Steam Trains that stop at the station right nearby, i imagine there is some sort of back story that ties them to the trains somehow, they do have another set of costumes however....so, if you look for Cinderealls Royal saxaphonists you may be able to see some pictures of them in those Fantasyland costumes.

MERAVIGLIOSI!!!!!! immensamente bravi!!!!!

sounds great

they get top marks for doing a hard to play song so well...

Go all saxes!

Totally awesome sauce!

Che meraviglia!

Awesome walking bass!!

great! i love it!!

Woody would be proud, guys ;) Great Job!

fuckin' awesome. And I know how hard to play this song for saxophones is.

The name of the song is called 4 bros. I can't believe Disney is this hip.

Awsome Go Bari Sax!

Brilliant!

This would be my dream job!!! And I'm turning 16 :D

im not a sax player but you just have to give it up to a good quintet and these guys are a great sax quintet

That was epic

brilliant!

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i play in begening band in silverado middle school...... :)

Nice, I loved doing quartet stuff. I guess thats a quintet, but same difference

Wonderful performance! Hmmmm. Let's see if I can get some friends to do this chart with me......

Because sad to say, the average person today wouldn't know a good musician or good music for that matter, if it fell out of the sky and landed directly on them!

the saxophone is the instrament i think with the most tones like saprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contra bass, thats a lot of tones

Darn...... Well, I've always wanted to go to Italy.... I could do alto or bari. :D Hmmmm maybe in a couple years! YEAHHHHH!

Super !!!!!

absolutely awesome!!! Intonation, timing improvising... I would be interested to know what harness the bass player is using, that's some serious amount of metal to be slinging.

Bass sax, baritone, tenor, alto, and curved soprano.

Woods paid fifteen guys to play that piece (but, of course, his manager forgot to pay their social security taxes).

These GUYS are BURNIN! Let's give a tip of the hat to the ORIGINAL 4 BROTHERS........Anybody know?

whenever you like. got bass and bari. trouble is that i'm in italy...

HELL YEAH

great... i'm playing it on my altosax.. but unfortunately not in a quintet...

they have to get on the spinning tea cups!

nice

Holy Shit! I have played this song (not at this ridiculous pace) It is very difficult. The alto part requires enormous enormous dexterity.

swingin

fucking awesome! I wish I can play saxophone like them :(

hilarious how the bass sax does that knee dance @ 1:20.

@Krawalldi right back at you! :P

Go Bari!

@g500d Right,,, this is all I would do at the park! OK im a sucker for the small world ride but still this shit is awesome!!!!!!!

Lucky.

Alto for the win. The soprano is pretty cute, though. :)

It's like a morphed sopran!

16 people grew up without watching Disney.

The soprano player seems into it the most.

soprano, alto, tenor, bari, bass?

nince u should check capitol quartet (yamaha)

it goes from big to small the saxes :D

When I met him, I remember it was a vintage conn. I wasn't a vintage horn expert, but I believe it was an original wonder.

i think you're thinking of a subcontra, contrabass saxes are big, and that certainly isn't one in the vid, but not a 17 inch bell :P

i play alto-saxaphone YEY!

Quinteto de saxes, soprano, alto, tenor, barítono e baixo.

This is tricky to play, and we play it only half as fast as these guys.

@cooldog324 barisax for the win! we are going this spring for symphonic. im actualy the contrabass clarinet player. but i play a nice super action 80 bari when i have a band day off

Yeah, man! Time to rewrite all those AATTBar sax sectional parts into SATBarBass.

Wow i am sorry, I can't see them very well

I hear that contrabass saxophones can also weigh as much as 45 pounds

Woody Herman Bari Saxist Extraordinairre (and Road Manager) Mike Brignola sent me this, and told me that the Bass Sax man is Dave MacKenzie. This is great! DaveM: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNxka7JytdDWp3U.html
