This is tight as all hell. Nothing like growing up watching this beast and a few other of his band mates make themselves worldwide names.. K, Void, Nu-Jive amongst a few as a weekly school session. The man is a beast
A match made in Heaven. Fabulous arrangement by Bob, stellar bass work by Dane, Will once again shows his versatility, delightful alto solo and beautiful execution by the entire band.
That's the best arrangement I heard in months. That bass solo was so smooth. Incredible musicians with the legendary ones. Thank you for that masterpiece.
WDR is a galaxy apart: great musicians, great arrangements, great directors, great collaborations and a great staff behind the scenes...the best jazz project in the world, period!!!
Amazing passion and those rhythm figures are a rush! As a guitar composer/performer for book trailers about comics influenced by Jazz and seeking inspiration, I love those horn harmonies and everyone's musicianship in staying together and being so lively. Many cheers!
Here we are again: the Yellowjackets and the WDR Big Band have returned to Earth from their home planet to grace us with their music. The musicianship is, indeed, otherworldly!
Have to admit I heard this for the first time a few weeks ago on my local NPR station on a locally produced program. I cranked this up all the way home, and sat in my car when I arrived home so I could hear the end of it. WOW. Incredible piece. Each musician an integral part of everything that's happening. This is world class stuff! You guys are awesome and I really enjoyed hearing you play. Thanks for a superbly great performance!
always unbelievable! so much taste, intelligence and virtuosity packed in this fantastic ensemble! such a joy to get in contact with your work, at least here on this channel. thank you so much!
Great sound quality and ..... finally ... the horns that come out with all their power without being overly compressed as it almost always happens .... as far as the artists are concerned, any comment would be superfluous!
6:17 Nice... Wim Both is underrated. He is one of the best lead trumpeter in the world, as far as I know, who has never failed in his role at Wdr Big Band. Remembering the lead trumpet part of the Wdr Big Band I heard, it has never been easy play. He never failed to play a performance that he would have struggled with if it were someone else. He is the best. I think he is the ensemble itself, which is neither prominent nor lacking in presence in the ensemble. If there is any hidden hero in the Wdr Big Band, He is.
I've listened to this version close to a dozen times and I'm always captivated by the writing and arranging (thanks Bob!), the solos, and the band's energy and outstanding execution. 👏🏼🔥💖
Hi donny! Welcome to our channel...do you know this one: ruclips.net/video/xKxNP9ieS8A/видео.html and another tune ruclips.net/video/vfZttpqsy68/видео.html
@@WDRBIGBAND That's for sure :-) I'm not well informed on the entire band, but know Mattis is from Sweden, Rafael's predecessor, Shannon, is Australian....and Paul is Japanese. I really miss visiting Japan, which I did quite a bit during my years as a touring road musician.
@ajbfwb Shannon is following her solo career...Karolina Strassmayer and Andy Haderer are from Austria, Ruud Breuls, Rob Bruynen, Wim Both and Hans Dekker are from Netherlands. Andy Hunter, Billy Test and Johna Goldsby are from the U.S and Olivier Peters is French....so now you have the perfect overview! Stay healthy!
Desejo a todos da WDR um FELIZ NATAL e que em 2021 continuem a nos brindar com essa música maravilhosa, com grandes solistas. Sou músico também, baterista, e tive oportunidade de tocar com grandes artistas. A música é que dignifica o ser humano e o eleva ao seu nivel mais alto. Viva a WDR.
It seems Leopold Stokowski, conducting the Cologne Symphony Orchestra, said: "God, it's impossible to play so accurately" ... Bravo WDR BB, Bravo Yellowjackets, great Ferrante, Kennedy, unknown STAR Alderson and Great Principal Conductor Bob Mintzer. BRAVO.
Hi Davide, vielen Dank! Wir freuen uns, dass Hans dein Favorit ist. Beim nächsten Video ist er wieder dabei, - wenn die Yellowjackets nicht on board sind:)
Very very cool!!!! But by the way, a CD?, aren't those extinct? In my school we had to stop including a CD with the textbook because basically none of the students have anything to play a CD with. I mean they're the best quality of sound so it makes sense for audiophiles I guess. I'd love the WDR to upload the HQ lossless audio of everything in their youtube channel to TIDAL so we all can listen to this that way. That would be EPIC!
I love me some Jimmy Haslip... but Dane Alderson is a MONSTER! Much love to all the Yellowjackets and all the fantastic musicians in this video!!
Hi OdgeBrown! Thank you very much! Stay healthy!
He sure a monster. Flowing like water. Great phrasing and tone

Agreed on every count. AND I believe Vince Mendoza wrote the chart for this one...?
True, Vince Mendoza wrote the arrangement!

Truth
Yes. Will Kennedy's cymbal work is second to none.
So, written by Russell and Vince. Do you think they wrote all the instrumentation?
Thanks
