The WDR is certainly one of the most beautiful and perfect big bands playing on this earth, I never tire of listening to their music, this micrometric setting, such complex sounds that enchant our emotions, musicality without limits, exceptional soloists. This BB is simply a cut above the rest.
Maestro Abene, your arrangement is a real gem (and a joy), with that final section having melody line as an undercurrent, with crisp brass overtones. Superbly performed!
Habe Johanna Summer schon bei Jugend jazzt im Vogtland, Sacshen, ihrer Heimat hören können, und sie spielte auch damals schon excellent. Eine Talenteschmiede, die Musikschule in Plauen, bzw Reichenbach.
Talented Johanna Summer and Jacob Bansch have proved they are a good addition to WDR Big Band,playing “Invitation”as well. Classy standard Bronislaw Kaper’s “Invitation” and beautiful arrangement by Michael Abene known and praised for high quality . Thank you all.
Hi Paul! In Germany, we are still in the fortunate position that the public broadcaster has a cultural and educational mandate, which also includes covering various musical genres, including jazz.
Great as usual! But where's Paul? I love his guitar playing very much. He's been absent from your videos for a long time. I hope he is not ill or something like that.

Hi Menthe! Thank you very much for your kind words!
They have soul and a feeling that surprises like The Thad Jones and Mel Lewis Vanguard big band. I enjoy them immensely!
Class as usual, with the WDR BB Team! Thank you!
Hi Pedro! Thank you very much!
Jazz lives.... on and on with such great young players. thanks for this beautiful music!
Thanx for watching, Boyd!
It's great to see these young players participate, and they must be pleased too, to be surrounded by such first-class pros. Nice arrangement! :)

Impressive talent with Johanna and Jakob. Brilliant.
I only wish that Britain would recognise and nurture such talent.
Do not they do that in GB, Paul?
Sadly, jazz - in the proper sense, like the stuff you put out - tends to be ignored or regarded as nerdish here.@@WDRBIGBAND
