Description:
Transcribed from the original Santa Clara Vanguard arrangement by ear for the Brass Mafia, inspired by and dedicated to the memory of George Floyd. "I originally came in contact with this arrangement back in the years I marched SCV- 1984-87. I had the fortune of being the soloist on this song for those years and it always moved me to tears each time we reverently played it. It was a song we would pull out every once in a while to play as an encore and I’d learned then that the original arrangement was done by another drum corps, Madison Scouts. Occasionally all 64 horns from each group would partner up for an amazing 128 person brass spectacle where we would sidle up to each other and play their theme song together as one group. Occasionally they would play ours, Send in the Clowns." Santa Clara Vanguard, Madison Scouts, and Vanguard Cadets Perform You’ll Never Walk Alone https://youtu.be/PtBvDOJfj6k "After the senseless killing of George Floyd, I looked deep inside to find something to calm my soul, and transcribing this song came to mind. I hadn’t played it in 30 years, and there was no arrangement that I knew of. I certainly didn’t know we would film this in the spiritually and sonically amazing redwood amphitheater we found. Hell, I didn’t even know if we’d even try to tackle this arrangement, as we rarely ventured past the fun New Orleans style grooves that we are known for. But this day was special, and our hearts and minds were full and this group delivered the goods on the second read, and that’s what you hear in this video. I’m thankful for these Brass Mafia musicians that are so willing to play in the midst of a pandemic and for Adam Theis for pushing this through. My soul needed this. Enjoy!" - Rich Armstrong personel Rich Armstrong - lead trumpet Ross Eustis - trumpet Richard Benitez - trumpet Alia Kuhnert - trumpet Tommy Occhiuto - sax Adam Theis - trombone Liz Larson - trombone Jonathan Seiberlich - sousaphone Chris Paxton - percussion Aaron Kierbel - percussion Jamie Moore - percussion written by Rogers and Hammerstein filmed by Shaina Evoniuk http://www.patreon.com/jazzmafia http://www.jazzmafia.com http://www.facebook.com/thejazzmafia http://twitter.com/jazzmafia http://instagram.com/jazzmafiaofficial
