I was fortunate to be in the same Norwalk High School with the "Young Vince Mendoza," and hear some of the early trends in his style. I'm so glad he kept his focus and then spread that sound as a composer and teacher.
Wow, can't believe I missed this 8 months ago...a lot of great Vince charts to look forward to. Kudos to the WDR web team for the track timestamps, as well as the chapters!
Astoundingly assured, generous and risk-taking all at once. Beautiful compositions and excellent musicianship carries it beyond skillful to an altogether more transcendent place where everything is possible and nothing wasted. Thanks WDR and Vince!
Vince Mendoza un gran compositor! la WDR Big Band exquisida! Des de Catalunya en gaudim i us enviem el nostre reconeixemt i agraiment, per fer-nos gaudir de la vostra sensibilitat i qualitat musical. Moltes gràcies!!!
A composer and arranger who has his own orchestra turn his splotches of ink into sound, time and again, is blessed. If this _Klangkörper_ happens to be the WDRBB, his name is most likely Vince Mendoza, lucky b@st@rd!
Greetings WDR! Are we able to get any further info on Thilo Fleckenstein? He's not mentioned anywhere - not by Vince, not in the description, nowhere! Is he a resident writer with WDR also? Also is there any album coming out relating to this performance? Otherwise, great work as usual!

Mattis Cederberg sitzt licht- und kameratechnisch etwas im Aus.
Didn’t Ethal Smith record this one too?
Stimmen die Zeitmarken und die Titeleinblendungen nicht überein?
Ist dir etwas aufgefallen? Sag uns gern Bescheid! Es müsste alles stimmen!
@@WDRBIGBAND Ein Beispiel: Oskar and Felix beginnt bei 39:50 euer Time-Code sagt aber 33:46 usw.
Please provide link to this recording
these seem to be new pieces, so they aren't on any recording. Correct me if I'm wrong of course
Hi Tobias! You are right, stay tuned for new information about recording and releases....
Hi Gribnes! Stay tuned for new information about recording and releases....
