This thread is the bomb. Whoever quoted my Gordon Goodwins Big Phat Band, I'm very jealous. I wish my high school band could play those songs but they're so tough. Maybe your arrangements are simplified or your band is just good. I thought only college bands would be able to play them. They're so crazy and intricate and tough. On a side note, about a week ago I got to go to a concert where a trombone player named Wycliffe Gordon was playing. He's basically a superhuman player. Check him out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIJFlqWYVUU

That trombonist is a god amongst me.

Daaaaamn, such a nice guitar. You guys should still do Donna Lee, it's not too bad. Just gradually do it faster. I've got it comfortably at around 230-240 haha, it's intense. And is that a Charlie Parker Omnibook I see?

I think my band is just good, either that or they're Goodwin's easier songs. We play Punta Del Sol a little slower then the recording but That's Life is at full speed. We also have an arrangement of St. Thomas that is absolutley insane
