I place the skill level at around that age too but it is also possible

the actual age of the individual musicians is significantly less it is
still quite an achievement and IMO almost virtuoso on the improv.

Thanks Gene, I agree that the main section has a tighter feel to it
and the "Pixel Land Jazz Ensemble" comes together well at that point
but I hope you'll have another listen to the lead in again. It's
Actually more Impressive than the main section from several aspects
;-)
The bb- work is good, better than I could do when they handed me one of
them when I was about 14, playing in the school band in the late '40's. Some of
you may be interested in a fresh slice of "The Saints Go
Marching in" from the "Pixel Land Jazz Ensemble" as arranged by Dr
Richard Marschall

I thought this one was worth listening too, and on balance it was.
Nicely creative but a bit slower paced than the Saints would
normally be. Rather than the rousing march it usually is, it gives
the impression of just slowly ambling down the street. Solo work
from around the 4 minute mark on was nicely highlighted. Thank you. I got the double B flat because no one else wanted it.
Sort like the
drill sargent, point at guys & saying I need 3 volunteers, you, you, and
you.
But I never really got past the usual stuff they were teaching in the
40's. So I'm a bit like Howard Cosell, who claimed he had never played
the game. But even then I knew that even if I got to be the worlds
best, I'd still be sitting in the back row. :)
Cheers, Gene Heskett
