Q: How do you think a live band is able to all come in on time like this (start at around 3:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP1zKat-x4s)? I'm confused. Can you maybe explain what might be going on?
A: 1. could be simply based on his visual movement. 2. drummer (or anyone) could have given one small quarter note click. 3. actually it is likely the trombone player is conducting, you will notice he is facing the band. 4. could just be rehearsed with this exact timing 5. regardless, this gets tighter with repetition and they've likely done this on dozens of shows in a row, and the monologue is scripted, at least the last line certainly
