O Holy Night

Do it, but make sure you have your throat lump remover handy. For me this is where this show became un-missable. Unreal.


(Hat tip: Michael Ledford via Facebook. Thank you!)

Still expect the single on iTunes without dialogue tonight. Also, expect me to transcribe the living shit out of that arrangement... surprise.

Edit: Thanks also to Amos who called today and turned me onto "Tromb0ne Sh0rty," who is - not so oddly - the featured trumpet player. You can find more info at his website and at his myspace page. Thanks Amos!


Edit 12/10/06: At one point in time, there was a video above of the version of "O H0ly Night" from Studi0 60 on the Sunset Strip. It has since been removed. You can buy the whole episode from iTunes if you want.

  3. Well, the NBS, er NBC website lists the following:

    Troy Andrews, Trumpet
    Kirk Joseph, Sousaphone
    Roderick Paulin, Saxophone
    Frederick Shepherd, Saxophone
    Stephen Walker, Trombone
    Mervin "Kid Merv" Campbell, Trumpet
    Bob French, Drums

    Can't be entirely accurate though, because that is not the correct instrumentation

  4. Actually, that might be closer than I thought... I looked right past the word "Sousaphone." I still haven't heard a drum in the thing.

  5. Wow...

    So I listened to a couple of the trombone tracks on his website... turns out he does that pretty damn well too.

  8. I did but it was on the computer that was stolen. Maybe I'll get back around to it some day.
