Yo. 1st sax did Shorter justice. Vick Bailey, Erskine and Acuna carry the whole piece! The maestro is fantastic. The orchestra, from horns to strings effing nailed bit. This is beautiful. Just gorgeous!
The tenor solo sounded like he was trying to meld elements of two very different players, namely the floaty harmony of Wayne with the rhythmic impact of Brecker. Very cool. Also loved the arranging of the mellow horns, the Flugels, Trombones, and French horns. Victor was awesome and I’d have loved to see WR with Erskine on kit and Acuña on percussion…yikes!
This came up in my feed as I’ve been listening to WR and especially Elegant People for days now after Shorter’s death. This is great! Really glad to have heard it - well done, brilliant.

With the fantastic Peter Tiehuis on guitar and Leo Janssen on the sax!
One of myall time WR tunes, this rendition...well I no longer have any socks on...and Vince Mendoza is so "composed", looking like Mr. Rogers and yet, hipper than shit...
@@jonathantegnell9935 someone being jokey....yes that is the legend that is Peter Erskine....saw him in Maynard Ferguson's MF Band...before going to WR....a great story about that transfer.....
Metropole at his best, great arrangement by Maestro Mendoza , amazing solo work , wish we had something like this in Italy, but I'm afraid it will never happen for a number of reasons . Be sure to check the upcoming "Get up" album by the Bob Mintzer big band, which will feature an amazing arrangement of the same tune !

What a beautiful piece! You guys have done it again, floored me with a sophisticated down home grove and so very laid back about it. Thanks for the happy new year elegance experience
Great music! Seriously funky groove (way more than some Cory Wong crap). And great solos--interesting and creative, not just playing the expected runs. Nice recording and video as well!
@@markyates8399 cheers Jazz brother, love our Victor...here him and Omar layin down the law at the transition from intro to second part intro into main section....th-cam.com/video/ldjU2ycGmfE/w-d-xo.html
yes indeed....and Victor Bailey (RIP) on the elec bass....Jim Beard (RIP) on the piano was never a part of Weather Report....but oh my the cat played with the creme de la creme.....ex. Pat Metheny-Secret Story.....the international Tour in 1992...album and tour for the AGES.....
You know you've made a STATEMENT as a Jazz FUSION Band when an Orchestra covers your work , not to bad but lack the Spontaneity of something that only comes from the MOMENT , but overall not to BAD , but you could see them feeling the GROVE, with RESPECT , Let us NOT FORGET , EDDIE Van HALIN

Chills..this was soundtrack of my life for years.. this is just brilliant
Great composition by Wayne Shorter always gives me the goosebumps ❤
There is a"Before" and a "After" Weather Report. They invented new music: Simply Genius!
Gosh Jaco would have simply loved this big band sound, as he was heading in this direction anyway. :)
That was wonderful. It made me glad I'm alive. Among other reasons of course.
That cowbell is very important to this tune!!!!!!❤
Peter, Alex and Victor!!! Rest easy Victor Bailey
Love us some Victor...🙏
Wonderful tribute! So rich. Everyone having a great freakin' time!
Notice, Alex never looks at the conductor, or any charts. He knows this inside and out. Peter T plays a brilliant solo. This is so gorgeous!

Jim Beard (RIP).....on Piano....quiet Legend....
I can listen to this all day. Everyday. And do!
Alex Acuña’s ; One of the Best Performances of his career
The tenor solo sounded like he was trying to meld elements of two very different players, namely the floaty harmony of Wayne with the rhythmic impact of Brecker. Very cool.
Also loved the arranging of the mellow horns, the Flugels, Trombones, and French horns.
Victor was awesome and I’d have loved to see WR with Erskine on kit and Acuña on percussion…yikes!
Love us some Peter, Victor (RIP), Alex, and Jim Beard (RIP) on the keys....this is a major WR rendition....
Everyone on this planet should hear this.
word...
Wow! The solos! The drums! The bass! The song! The orchestration
"Those lips! Those eyes! Those nose!"
You know what I really love about this? You can tell the entire orchestra truly had fun nailing this.
Exactly!!!!
...Word...
Music as it should be. Sophisticated and elegant.
This came up in my feed as I’ve been listening to WR and especially Elegant People for days now after Shorter’s death. This is great! Really glad to have heard it - well done, brilliant.
With the fantastic Peter Tiehuis on guitar and Leo Janssen on the sax!
Thank you!!!!
Monsters...mind blown....
I've listened to this about a dozen times since finding it! Wow!
Shout-out to guitarist Peter Tiehuis, I really loved his solo! (of the WR alumni we already know how great they are;)
Peter just nails it down to a T....
WR didn't like guitar, it doesn't belong here
Metropole...nothing else...popular all over the world.....as Todd once mentioned " Dutch National Treasure"......
My jaw is on the floor....amazing solos, Mendoza reimagining, Peter, Alex, and Victor, Metropole Orkestra...outstanding....
This is great. I find myself listening to it several times a day.
Same
A real lesson on coming back to the theme.
At about 6:20, Tiehuis really feels it. Superb lead. Brilliant arrangement. Erskine, Bailey and Acuna carry the whole piece.
...everyone so in the pocket...mind blown...
Peter Tiehuis absolutely one of the finest guitarists of all time. Stunning performer of total integrity.
Indeed...he just nails his solo down to the T...
Sounds like a Lalo Schifrin arrangement. Very elegant. Camera pans across skyline at night. Opening title, “Name of a Cop Movie”
Brilliance and tone colors.
Leo: sUper solo man en sUper sound! WOW, je slaat de nagel vOl op zijn kop hier! Dank je!
One of myall time WR tunes, this rendition...well I no longer have any socks on...and Vince Mendoza is so "composed", looking like Mr. Rogers and yet, hipper than shit...
Frank Gambale on drums, epic😊
That's not Peter Erskine?
@@jonathantegnell9935 someone being jokey....yes that is the legend that is Peter Erskine....saw him in Maynard Ferguson's MF Band...before going to WR....a great story about that transfer.....
Peter Tiehuis. Such a heavy cat!
Elegant tribute, as always with the Metropole , nice sax soloist too.
Leo Jansen, no sax tenor
Love it! I've only seen a few seconds of this and I was floored by it! Wayne Shorter would be proud of this remake for real!
Victor Bailey !!! One of the most underated fusion bass palyer 'cause he took jaco's place
So True!
He’s not underrated by any of us who play the electric bass!
Stunning in every way! I love this!
Metropole at his best, great arrangement by Maestro Mendoza , amazing solo work , wish we had something like this in Italy, but I'm afraid it will never happen for a number of reasons . Be sure to check the upcoming "Get up" album by the Bob Mintzer big band, which will feature an amazing arrangement of the same tune !
It took some years in The Netherlands too and luckily we had Vince Mendoza. Buit yeah what a solo's...!!
Listening in 2022, amazing solo work..
Fusion plus fusion equals SUPERFUSION !
This is a fantastic musical presentation and performance.
#PRICELESS!!!
Acuna from Weather Report on percussion.
What a nice surprsee! I became an instant fan.
Absolutely fabulous!!!!
So nice to hear that full on! 🙌🏼 🔥

Elegant People really suits this context well. Sax solo
Prachtige compositie, HULDE Dear Wayne!!! En mooi uitgevoerd!!!
Meraviglioso, bellissimo arrangiamento,musica di una bellezza intramontabile.
Some great moments Erskine and Alex throw in some syncopated fills that just are mind blowin...
Wow!!! Fantastic. Super fine, etc.....!
Alex Acuna and Peter Erskine make it authentic. 👌
Great performance and fantastic recording, great job!
Professional musicians..at the top of their game...with a Mendoza reimagined chart by Zawinul and Shorter...220v up and down the spine...
What a beautiful piece! You guys have done it again, floored me with a sophisticated down home grove and so very laid back about it. Thanks for the happy new year elegance experience
This arrangements is so on point.
My mind bloooeeewnnn away...
Beautiful!
Weather Report....
This is the first time I hear this song played by other than Weather Report.
Very nice!!!
Great music! Seriously funky groove (way more than some Cory Wong crap). And great solos--interesting and creative, not just playing the expected runs. Nice recording and video as well!
ELEGANT PERFORMANCE.
Absolutely the best
I see Acuna and Erskine...
WOW!!!

So very thankful for such beauty...

THE BEST OF THE BEST. MARVELOIS
Wow... that was incredible
So on point.......spine tingling rendition.......
great tribute, great composition. Metropole arrangements are a Mo Fo
arrangement courtesy of Maestro Vince Mendoza....handling podium hono(u)rs too....
Anything Vince Mendoza arranges is top notch. I first checked him out in the 1980's.
me since the 1890s
Vince is the man...
bellissima versione. molto vicina a quella di jaco pastorius big band
Bravo Leo Janssen!
is that Peter Erskine on Dms & Alex Acuna on Perc? Timeless Weather Report trk
yes indeed....and Victor Bailey (RIP) on the elec bass....Jim Beard (RIP) on the piano was never a part of Weather Report....but oh my the cat played with the creme de la creme.....ex. Pat Metheny-Secret Story.....the international Tour in 1992...album and tour for the AGES.....
Victor bailey! Victor bailey!
Liked it before I watched it on a hunch :)
Much better than WR👍
Awesome!
Peter T! Geweldig.

Mitic pièce WR...ORCHESTRA STRONG ALSO GUITAR & SAX

Alex Acuna and Peter Erskine!
Fantastici...ma non è una novità...Grande brano dei Wather Report...
The conductor looks funny.
Is that Alex Acuna on percussion? No personnel listed, but thanks for the great post, just the same.
Ahhh.. down in the comments. I thought that was Alex. To think I saw him live with WR all those years ago.
@@jackhanan2872 ...nice one with Alex.. saw WR with O. Hakim on the kit...mind blown...esp that trash can lid....
Wow!
Una maravilla.
So good
Que maravillosa suena la música de Zawinul con esta increible orquesta

Virgil. Right inside every note and space.

Heaven. With Jaco and Joe. The only musicians I weep for the loss of, and thank god I had them in my life.
