This is the most wonderful big big band I’ve heard in years. I can’t thank Bob Mincer and this extremely talented group of musicians enough for bringing such happiness to my soul!
LES MEILLEURS MOMENTS DU JAZZ MODERNE EN BIG BAND Bob Mintzer, après avoir lâché ses musiciens new-yorkais pour choisir un poste de prof à l'UCLA nous revient en Europe pour diriger le WDR Big Band, l'un des meilleurs orchestres de jazz de la planète, avec le NDR Big Band, le Brussels Jazz Orchestra. Pour le bonheur des amateurs du jazz en grand orchestre. Merci à Bob et au WDR de Cologne. Jean Courtioux
The WDR BB is one of the tightest ensembles around - all great musicians who play for the MUSIC. WDR's guests are always a pleasure to heart. I personally like Bob Mintzer very much -- iin addition of playing the tenor so well he is a learned pro able to go to all styles of music with a legit accent and has beautiful compositions!
Ich liebe, wie ihr die Bassdrum gemischt habt! Nicht so "jazzig"-kastriert ;) sondern mit fettem punch.... ummmpf! Rest des Mixes ist natürlich auch super!!!
I can tell Mr Heller has listened to an-other Bob...;);).Great solo Sir! Fantastic Band led by a fantastic man:) such a nice video to watch! Au revoir:)

WDR BIG BAND ..LOL...? I thought my comment was self explanatory.. Most people in the audience get tired of listening to tunes they do not know.. I play coltranes giant steps on my channel but would never play it for a concert or even my mother who was a music major and has a college scholarship in her name.. Jazz musicians should always play many tunes all people in the audience know and then play solos over the chord changes.. You are welcome for the jazz lesson... Most people only want to hear their favorite vocalist sing their hits and not new tunes.. but the vocalist is tired of singing the same tunes
Sorry JazzKeyboardist1, but rather than worrying about the audience, why don't you watch the video a second time - that way you'll be able to enjoy it because you'll know all the tunes?
This is the most wonderful big big band I’ve heard in years.

Thank you so much for watching us and for your kind words, Joseph!

The Mintzer Magic: the whole band plays « in the pocket », the drummer sounds laid back and gliding like Mel Lewis. No one rushing. Amaaazing.
One of the greatest tenor players in the world totally digging this amazing stage band.
Les meilleurs jazzmen pour le meilleur compositeur-arrangeur du jazz moderne. Very much congratulations for all.
Mega! Geiler Chef! läßt Euch machen! Gut so!

irre Solos....mein lieber Herr Gesangsverein
a great concert that most people in the audience probably got tired of..Why? Because the band played tunes the audience did not know
What do you mean by writing tired?

I think it's the exact opposite. Listening to and playing Jazz standards all of the time over and over again might get boring at some point.
