Thanks for sharing this great video of the WDR Bigband. Sounds very precise and and swings like hell. Thanks also for listing the band (at least in part). However, I would also like to meet the crew behind it, sound experts. I also think the sound experience is very well captured. Makes a lot of fun to listen to. Greetings Jürgen
I love this tune and arrangement, opening unison with trombones and trumpets was spot on. The drums and bass were locked in but the piano player was a micro second too slow? This is the kind of chart you don’t want to end. Brilliant ensemble performance -
The horn arrangement is simply delicious, and the rhythm section kicks your soul from the behind like a runaway train. Thanks a lot for your great job, this is food for soul.
Congratulations, everything is close to perfection! - Superb composition, arrangement and band conducting - Awesome performance of the whole orchestra (sound, cohesion, precision) - All the instrumental solos are in tune with the overall performance - Great quality of the sound recording and rendering (as usual…thank you Christian!) - The whole well highlighted by the video editing Thanks to all
I also point out the excellent surprise for me of the guitar solo that Wes Montgomery would not have disowned because I did not know Rolf Marx. What a guitarist!
You guys rock. Thanks a lot for such Deutsche Qualität. The atmosphere, the musicians, the sound, the image, the music, everything is delightfully mastered. I could spend hours listening to your incredible recordings...and I will do it ! Merci beaucoup de la France qui aime le Jazz et les Big Bands !
Fully agree! Totalement d'accord! The precision and musicality reinforce each other. Cool that Germany is "must" destination for the best Big Bang performers, arrangers etc.
Class A entertainment as usual guys. Thanks for the great tunes and arrangement. Loved playing along on my drums. Your Drummer is great and playing along to that song was totally in.Thanks.again
So three days before this video posted, I was in a rehearsal with my high school jazz band students talking about the lighter approach that is required for UNISON section playing in comparison to when parts are split up. Talk about perfect timing... The top of this chart demonstrates this perfectly! Keep up the great work!
Absolutamente fantástico! El nivel de profesionalismo de estos músicos fabulosos es impresionante, siempre es un placer escucharlos interpretar estos arreglos formidables. Altísimo nivel, mis amigos! Un abrazo desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.
absolute masters at work, so schöne Tonbildung bei allen, diese Präzision in der Artikulation, - bfff bravo... und ein Riesenarrangement, das diesen tranigen Sängerinnensong wieder frisch und flott "auferstehen" lässt. Hört man 3 mal gerne hintereinander an...
Oh, my. Held back viewing until a quiet moment, assuming something like a ballad. Wow. The unison opening is absolutely stunning, followed by rich solos from everyone. Not sure what role Dave Horler has as a longtime member, but his arrangements are superb. Congratulations on an excellent performance.
From “Waltz for Naima” to”Angel Eyes”! There can be no too much of you, WDR Big Band! So beautifully played. But almost missed you here. And found. Thank you.
Das ist absolut pervers perfekt! Wo kann ich das in einer angemessenen Audioqualität in HiRes hören oder kaufen? Ich finde es nirgends, bitte bitte bitte schickt mir die Aufnahme zu, ich schicke Bier!
Sorry, Bodo, momentan ist keine CD Veröffentlichung geplant. Du musst dich mit unserer Videoproduktion zufriedengeben, die ja "nur" die YT-Komprimierung hat....
Danke für Ihre fantastischen Aufnahmen - ich bin bei jeder einzelnen aufs Neue begeistert von Ihrer Musikalität und Ihrem unfassbar sauberen Zusammenspiel, eine der besten Big Bands weltweit! Ich bin Geiger (auch Jazz), und seit ich Ihren YT-Kanal abonniert habe, bin ich um eine Glückstablette in meinem musikalischen Medizinkoffer reicher! Big Band Musik vom Feinsten!! Danke! Liebe Grüße vom Bodensee!
Hallo Jörg, vielen lieben Dank für diese schönen Worte! Auf das der Jazz weiterlebe, - das geht nur, wenn gespielt UND gehört wird. Liebe Grüße in Richtung Bodensee!
@@WDRBIGBAND Спасибо Вам, за Ваше творчество и очень профессиональную работу ! 😊 Мне всегда нравилась джазовая музыка в исполнении биг-бэндов или больших симфонических оркестров. WDR BB - один из лучших и самых интересных на сегодняшний день (на мой вкус). Всё на самом высоком эталонном уровне, - от ярких аранжировок и профессионализма музыкантов, до звукорежиссуры и видеомонтажа 👌👌 Ваши видеоролики приятно смотреть, от них исходит много позитива и драйва, а значит они делают наш окружающий мир лучше и ярче ☀️🙂
Привет, Сергей, если музыка - это язык души и люди снова научатся внимательно слушать ее, то действительно может случиться так, что наш мир станет ярким и красочным.
Moreover, Lead Trumpet is the best I’ve heard in a long time. Brush work with bass is so tasteful. Trumpet section, sax section and trombone section are one player. These guys, as Carson used to say, won’t be invited to Lawrence Welk’s birthday party.
Wow! Really great Jazz from Cologne! Spectacular improvisations. Great camera work, great color grading. The sound couldn't be better. Question: Does WDR's excellent video and sound crew put in extra shifts for internet productions like this? Or will the fee payer later get an extra bill for such productions?
My dear friends from WDR when I say I play along to most of your songs and arrangements I meant I play along to what you play not through an App but just play my drums along with your drummer. i don't record it on the web or play my version on youtube, I play them for my own entertainment. I put it in watchlater mode and have a list that I use to better my playing. Along with Buddy Rich old tunes and many others etc. So as I said, i play along with you people for my entertainment only. Please understand I make no profit but use your app for my enjoyment. To better my drumming capabilities. Im going to be 69 yrs old and just like Jazz. I hope this explanation clears up my previous statements.. Thank you. Jim
Hello Jim, we are totally happy that you enjoy our music so much and even play along. We only gave the hint about the app because you can mute the individual music tracks there, - but you're doing it just right for you! That is the main thing! And it's always a pleasure for us to read your heartfelt comments!
All superb. And what a trombone section!

Hi Giovanni! True and we all need food for our soul!
I could possibly say it better; but it would require too much effort.
Everything is so crisp and balanced
Merci, Samuel!
Great arrangement- Great Band!
Thank you very much and welcome to our channel!
Masterpiece redition and an out of this world arrangement squeezing the juice out all the best soloist! The band was one.

Hi Todd! We guessed that and thought now is the right time to publish this piece. We thank you for taking care of the young jazz generation!
So much content in this fabulous arrangement - so much soul - so much ensemble virtuosity - so many great solos - what's not to love! Thank you
Thank you very much for your kind words, Robert!

Hola Daniel, ¿cómo está la situación de la big band en Argentina? Tuvimos a Pedro Giraudo como director de banda invitado. Fue un gran proyecto.
Не перестаю восторгаться вашим коллективом! Великолепные композиции, аранжировки, сыгранность - брависимо! Excellent! 🤠🤘💖🌹🤗
Hi Enikbenik!🙌🙌🙌🙌

Hi William, Dave's role is clear: he wrote the arrangement for the WDR Big Band!
Yes indeed !!

Please contact Dave Horler directly for the arrangement. Thank you!

pouquoi entoure t on la batterie d'une enceinte en bois??
Le son de la batterie a besoin des absorbeurs pour que les saxophones puissent s'épanouir.
マンボの帽子が気になります
🤍
et le bassiste.....il sait "tricoter"
Guitarist sounds like Benson!
Really, jon?
Brilliant
😊
