Masaru Uchibori Big Band Recording Session on Apr. 26 2011 at Victor Studio in Tokyo. New CD "A Dedication to Jazz Giant" MUSACMUSIC MM-2004 Arranged by Masaru Uchibori.
I HAVE NOT HEARD MANY BANDS SWING AS WELL AS THIS BUT THE DRUMMER IS DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE--PLAYING LIKE A BIG BAND DRUMMER AND SMALL COMBO DRUMMER AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT !
Great job guys!! I'm a trumpet player and partial to upper brass, but dang, that drummer Buddy Rich Jr. His accents were with the brass so tight that it really added excitement to the piece. You guys are tight!!!
Amazing, but too many folks out there forget that Japan and Germany have some of the best jazz ensembles in the world! But of course, we shall not want to "despise and forget" the outstanding Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band...
I'm particularly taken with how musical the solos are. Wonderful melodic lines; not just massive technique. Great sense of time within the band and the intonation is right on. Congratulations!
Somewhat flat footed, both as an arrangement and realized, but an especially nice ensemble sound; balanced and together. Imagine that! It gives us on this side of the pond a run for our money! Especially these days . . .
Pra quem sabe o que é bom.O resto são os Teodoro e Sampaio, Rangel e Pestana, Celso e Garcia kkkkk as bombas de nossas músicas que enchem apresentações desses pobres cantores e artistas.Droga !!!!
it definitely deviates from the original Duke Ellington interpretation. Uncomfortably so because I could barely hear a piano... which in my opinion is essential to the piece
@@jaiden1121 that's a fair point, and wow looking back at my comment from way back is a cringe filled experience. But yes the indispensable characteristic of jazz is to inject your personality into the music, and in that sense this is an absolutely valid version of "Take the A Train"
+smudger671 Oh tell me about it. Miking like this was never meant for groups that are meant to play as a complete, cooperative unit. It makes the music sound so unnatural.
+Momma1241 Glad there is someone on here with good taste. When are these so called sound engineers going to make a big band recording that sounds natural? You see far less microphones used to record a hundred piece classical orchestra!
+smudger671 if you haven't , check out an album called The King James Version by Harry James. Recorded in the 70's with four miles. Sounds better than anything today. Great version of "Corner Pocket."
+Momma1241 I bought this album when it was first issued in 1977! At the time I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but when I listen to it now it does sound a bit dead and lacking space around the instruments. Having said that, it still sounds better than rubbish recordings like the one here.
hmm, that's an interesting observation; I'll have to check that out. I can't put my finger on it, but late 50's early 60's Basie just sounds "right" to me. And Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight", imo, achieves sonic perfection.

Haha, are you a drummer as well?
He's very accomplished.
Uh. Idk I wasn’t really feeling his pocket… the swing “percentage” was a little to shallow, and it was inconsistent
数十年前から色んなバンドの此の曲を聴いております。
数有る中、全てに唯一…最高😃⤴️⤴️🎶の出来栄えです！
ご努力に感心し、益々のご活躍にご期待致します。🙇
すんごい。40年前には日本のトップアレンジャーだった。内堀さんは音の先を見せてくれるアレンジなんだよね。
The trombone solo surprised me at how nice it was.

I think that this band are well good
内堀勝氏の手にかかると、"A Train" もこんな素敵なサウンドになるのですね✨
Nice to hear a different take on a great number. Wonderful band all round. Music like this and world is a better place.
That's what I like... A different take on a classic..
i dint know the japanese were into jazz and so good at it......
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS BRIIIIIIIIIIIIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS
I've come to learn that the Japanese are good at everything.
+Carolyn Kean -----yowwwwwwwwwwe. Yowwwwwwwe
Brigitte Choudhary Japan is one of the important place of Jazz.
syrinx at this point we should accept that the Japanese can do anything
nice swing... and its grooving.... drummers got a smooth swing... love the arrangements...
This is a great arrangement. Nicely done.
This was so good. Nothing can beat the sound of a good brass jazz band or string orchestra.
I'm particularly taken with how musical the solos are. Wonderful melodic lines; not just massive technique. Great sense of time within the band and the intonation is right on. Congratulations!
That double G# at the end in the trumpets..... just wow
the brass section are awesome! love this arrangement!
I can't believe i've never heard of you guys !! Perfect Pitch
Excelente! Japinhas são muito bons.
Those Japanese Jazz Band Put The "A" In Awesome! :-D
big ups to this band representing!!!!!!!!!!!
Great band and a great arrangement.
Somewhat flat footed, both as an arrangement and realized, but an especially nice ensemble sound; balanced and together. Imagine that! It gives us on this side of the pond a run for our money! Especially these days . . .
このＡ列車の編曲はかなりいいと思う。もちろん、ソリストもいいぞ。４０年前にやったことを思い出しました。

Outstanding but please show the drummer.
Whose arrangement is this? Smoking hot...
Mr.Masaru Uchibori, arranger and bandleader l.He is conducting on this footage.
That’s true music 😂
They just have discipline. Here in America, we're taught not to.

Ай да уши Бори, ай да Суккин Син!
Who's the drummer?
Por favor diganme que no fui el unico que penso en skullgirls por un segundo
Dat.. DISCIPRINE!
Terrrrrrific-----how big band jazz should be.
Not bad for students.
Could you tell me why you think they are students.Or do you want to say Italian pros are far better?I don't think so.
My statement was a joke. They are fantastic and great to listen to.TheSuperSB
terriffic performance
it definitely deviates from the original Duke Ellington interpretation. Uncomfortably so because I could barely hear a piano... which in my opinion is essential to the piece
but still impressive
@@librarycommoner2219 late, but isnt that the whole point of jazz? to interpretate things in your own way

This could have sounded so much better if they had recorded it with 4 miccrophones instead of 44....

Jazzbots. Bunch of stiffs. Talent, yes. Swing, no.
ドラムとブラスのタイミングが全然あって無いの指揮者、解んないのかねぇ。こう言うバンド多いんだ。
