Nice Jazz (?) Euphonium

I'm not sure how to peg this one, but it is a nice chart with a nice euphonium solo:

I may have to start wearing golf gloves when I play ;-)

He did have fairly nice control of the fingering, articulation, etc. during a very rapid ride.

Can't agree with some of the YouTube comments. I too thought it was nice.

This is jazz in the style of the classic John Coltrane quartets of the middle 60s. This was the jazz I listened to while in college. It is jazz of a period, and these young players perform it in fine style, despite the comments of the "u rly need to know your styles and music" critic.

Yes, u do.

Just a note, that was an improvised line, not a written line, on the euph by Brad Felt. And nicely done, too.

Here's a link to a Coltrane ballad of the period:

And, for more music of the period, here a version of "So What' with Miles and Coltrane (who comes in at about the 2 minute mark).
