Definitely true! But I found the editing missed the mark a fair bit, too many disorienting zooms and shakes and the glitch effect really didn't work for me. I like seeing the interplay between the musicians, and I think this editing focused a bit too much on individual performances without giving a good enough sense of space. The first bari (?) sax solo, it seemed like he was just isolated in his own room, not sure if there's any connection between him and Louis! Overall great music and decent editing though, just a bit off.
The fact that we're watching this for free on RUclips is incredible. I hope Louis Cole tours, because I'd give him everything in my bank account just to be in the room for a session like this.
its not free. its a publicly funded orchestra. so the german taxpayer pays for it. one of the better occasions they use it for though. the money i mean.
I saw Louis Cole live a couple of weeks ago. I’ve never seen someone enjoy themselves on stage more than Genevieve. She was jumping and dancing around the stage with the biggest grin on her face. It was an absolute delight and managed to elevate an already mindblowing concert. Looking forward to following them into the future!
@@nicktaylor1902 All I meant was he makes everything he does look effortless - on this, he seemed super concentrating and focused. No disrespect to him whatsoever, he's an absolutely fantastic and inspiring musician!
I didn't know Bob Mintzer was involved in the WDR big band, but as a big Yellowjackets fan who is going through a serious Louis Cole phase, this is definitely tight.
I am not much of a jazz guy but I too am in a serious Louis Cole phase, which has led to a Snarky Puppy phase, which for a guy with a Taylor acoustic guitar and a songlist of Eagles-Beatles-James Taylor is like being abducted by aliens -- really, really musical aliens. I did not know Bob Mintzer was in the Yellowjackets, which I also listened to some time back, but then again I know jack shit about jazz. This stuff is amazing. And Genevieve is a force of nature.
Ich habe schon vor Jahren meinen Fernseher abgeschafft, weil gute Live-Musik im Fernsehen ausgestorben ist. Warum ist nicht wenigstens die WDR-Bigband gebührend oft im WDR-Fernsehen zu sehen? So wie ich von Leuten höre, die noch fernsehen, kommt das viel zu selten vor. Jeder gibt seinen RundFUNKbeitrag. Also, WDR, zeigt die Band viel öfter. Viel zu schade, sie nur im Studio verstecken. Die muss im Prime-Time Programm zu sehen sein. Und eine eigene, regelmäßige Sendung bekommen.
Wow, never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see Louis playing with a) this big band or b) Bob Mintzer (one of my favorite tenor players). Leave it to European cultural sensibility (specifically the German Govt who support this band) to appreciate the beauty, creativity and originality of this combination.
THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST COLLABORATIONS I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR! Knower's original studio recording was great techno-pop and a terrific song but this is something completely beyond that. Jazz and pop blending into pure sophistication with solo artistry. There is a lot of talent in this recording.
I can just picture in my head a professional session musician like this bassist receiving that ginormous score with tons of chromaticisms from Louis Cole and being like "Yeah! I can play this no problem." Like what?!
Oh man! Can't tell you how good it is to hear an excellent horn band. It really brings the excitement back to music. We need more of this. MORE, I SAY! Electronic music is good but THIS is exciting! Sometimes I don't know that the younger generations know what they're missing. Wow! I thought I recognized the Sax Player. Wow! Bob Mintzer from Yellowjackets! Very cool! Musicians from two of my favorite groups - Yellowjackets and Knower.
Steve's Favs go ahead and watch Snarky Puppy’s live studio video of Lingus. The horn section there is on an even higher level, and the whole vibe in the studio is so beautiful to witness! Still love this video though!
SP's horn section is much smaller than this one. Much easier to be tight. Also, their tempos are usually slower. Lingus is alot of fun, though, agreed.
I feel like I just found music again. I was just listening to the WDR Big Band arrangement of 'Around' on FB videos before I found this and I was so floored. I thought to myself it couldn't get any better than that. I was wrong. Wow just wow!!!
The legendary Bob Mintzer ...an array of incredible musicians...the amazing Genevieve Artadi...the creativity and uniqueness of Louis Cole... thank you for bringing such joy and inspiration to the heart and soul in such difficult, divisive times!
John Goldsby, you did some golden work man, right on !!! Of course bravo Genevieve, Louis and the WDR Big Band, you guys made smile in a very inspiring way, right on.
So much hard work, technical skill and performance discipline. I think Louis Cole's face expresses everything there is in this music. The german big band plays with cybernetic precision and fantasy.
I Love Bob Mintzer and now I love Johan Horlan as well as Louis Cole, Genevieve Artade (Knower), Jacob Mann, Sam Wilkes, Rai Thistlethwayte, Sam Gendell, Ben Wendell, Tim Lefebvre, Snarky Puppy, Jeff Coffin, Larnell Lewis, Nate Wood and EVERYONE on all the Knower trax... great stuff and glad I have internet. Thanks, Paul Soroka
So many innovators nowadays unfortunately release their fresh ideas in kind of medium or even low quality audio tracks. Finally KNOWER sounds!!!! Please do more collaborations like this!
I know Knower, I know Bob Mintzer, naturally I know WDR. WHAT A FUSION! Knower was famous and well known already at the time of the recording. But for me, they looked young post-graduates, facing the professional players first time. They looked so serious in front of the great players, and they performed best. What a phenomenal recording, isn't it?
Thank you all so much! Have a look at our latest release with Knower, here you go: ruclips.net/video/4joyxzVmj6c/видео.html
AAAAAAAAAAA
this is so fresh
Thanks for the heads up on this.
Hell yeah.
I'll be forever grateful for introducing me to this band, Adam. Greetz!
Thanks, Adam!
@@chop1992 so killing dude!
The one who edited the video definitely watched some Knower/Louis Cole videos.
It's a good chance to user the features in Premier that no one ever uses (except Louis COle).
He probably edited the video
Johannes Imort did the video editing 6:29 ... He edits a lot of videos for the WDR Big Band.
Definitely true! But I found the editing missed the mark a fair bit, too many disorienting zooms and shakes and the glitch effect really didn't work for me. I like seeing the interplay between the musicians, and I think this editing focused a bit too much on individual performances without giving a good enough sense of space.

Overall great music and decent editing though, just a bit off.
@@DanielPodlovics to be fair, this studio is a very different layout to louis' kitchen/living room/hallway/stairs
Yes!!!
Killing.
Could use more spatula though
Bassist is somehow slaughtering the bass while simultaneously being so chill I think he's taking a nap
+
Maybe he is Sam Wilkes' grandpa?
Session musicians man, it's all they do hahaha
That'll happen after 30+ years of playing
dtegg91 Just digging the music ;)
Oh my God! I will never understand why I did not know anything about KNOWER til ten days ago. Now I'm changing all my perspectives about music.
It's even more mind blowing when you find out that they hang out with Vulfpeck
Favorite hybrid ever
Thank you very much!
sickkkk
Not really low volume though.... 😁
... but fearless!
Amazing how the giant group still sounds like knower.
The fact that we're watching this for free on RUclips is incredible. I hope Louis Cole tours, because I'd give him everything in my bank account just to be in the room for a session like this.
Uiii, hopefully in the near future concert projects will be possible again, - then you can attend live sessions again. We are all waiting for it!🙃
its not free. its a publicly funded orchestra. so the german taxpayer pays for it. one of the better occasions they use it for though. the money i mean.
So would I, All $4 he can have EVERYTHING!
@@zerbeiler German here, all in for it
clown core is touring right now 🤡
That is one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard in my 55 years on this planet
Greg Burrows Yes same for me!!!!

Odin G.S. Composer Sounds like Stevie Wonder when he performs haha
I'm jelly man. But I'm glad there are people like this.
Genevieve never gets depressed, see end of „The Government Knows“.
Bassist is killing it. What a frigging pro... imagine when he first saw the chart. Was probably licking his chops.
😀😀😀
my thoughts exactly. and he NAILED IT
Moar like licking his CHOPPPZ AMIRITE @zackgrooves?!
If you look closely at the video, he doesn't have any chops
@@brianmonks6358 exactly! He obviously licked them clean off.
If this isn't Grammy material, I don't know what is...
yessssss yesssssss !!!
I Agreeeeeeeee
Louis cole isn’t a phase he’s a timeless being creating timeless music
Für Knower zahl ich liebend gern Gebühren. Weiter so, WDR!
*Beitrag ;-)
Ob Pferd oder Gaul - Hauptsache, der Wagen wird gezogen.
Seit wann machen die öffentlich rechtlichen coole sachen :D
@@dieLX479 Tja, man muss sie nur finden :D
das dacht ich auch gerade... is aber ein wunder...
First time I've seen Louis properly concentrating hard! Loved it.
1 time i thought he will miss a beat, but nah. he did it perfectly
I don't get these comments, he's always really taut and focused?
@@nicktaylor1902 All I meant was he makes everything he does look effortless - on this, he seemed super concentrating and focused. No disrespect to him whatsoever, he's an absolutely fantastic and inspiring musician!
Hes not wearing sunglasses so the focus is more evident
The WDR Big Band is quite a thing ... and Louis is sitting in the chair of Charly Antollini here .
Mindblowing arrangement by Bob Mintzer
Bob is a BEAST 🔥👍🔥👍🔥👍🔥
yep
I can’t think of another big band arrangement that even comes close.
😎Amy!
I'm still a simple man, I see Louis Cole (and Genevieve), I click.
I didn't know Bob Mintzer was involved in the WDR big band, but as a big Yellowjackets fan who is going through a serious Louis Cole phase, this is definitely tight.
OK, I thought I was the only one in this situation. Nice to hear I'm not alone!
Yellowjackets!
Was going to comment the same thing! What a great collaboration!
I am not much of a jazz guy but I too am in a serious Louis Cole phase, which has led to a Snarky Puppy phase, which for a guy with a Taylor acoustic guitar and a songlist of Eagles-Beatles-James Taylor is like being abducted by aliens -- really, really musical aliens. I did not know Bob Mintzer was in the Yellowjackets, which I also listened to some time back, but then again I know jack shit about jazz. This stuff is amazing. And Genevieve is a force of nature.
Mintzer did the arrangements for this band on organist/singer Ricky Peterson's guest spot last year as well. They covered Prince's Sexy MF.
Thanks for keeping big band music relevant Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi. WDR Big Band is so tight!
The
bass player is killin'!
Tim Kebel JOHN GOLDSBY!!!! He’s awesome.
Bob Freakin' Mintzer!! This is great.
Hi Buddythunder1! Thank you!
Never seen Louis look so serious. Very tight track!
He looks that way in the snarky puppy video too.
He’s playing with a lot of pros, he doesn’t want to be off beat with a big band waiting for his cues:)
@@TheSteinbitt its an interesting contrast to watch this and then the drums at the end of Mean It, just doing all kinds of weird shit.
Real music masterpiece
Thank you!
Guy on the bass is rockin' over and above
That is exact the thing, he likes to do:)... chatelain567!
I luv everything with Louis Cole in it! 😅

Absolut.
I could listen to THIS all day
Do not hesitate to do so...
Damn! What a Bass player.
Thanx, Paul!
It's brilliant. RUclips algorithms works well, but damn it took more than 4 years.
Some things need time 😉
no wonder it was recorded "at the WDR _Funkhaus_ Studio 4 in Cologne"
Artadi is a pure instrument. ❤️😎💞
True, Lulu!

Hi John! Thank you very much! It was a great project!
Not only is the song tight as hell, the editing feels like a Knower video! Great job to all involved, we needed this.
I can just picture in my head a professional session musician like this bassist receiving that ginormous score with tons of chromaticisms from Louis Cole and being like "Yeah! I can play this no problem." Like what?!

Check out Cory Wong and the Wongnotes channel. There is no tighter horn section than The Hornheads. The horn arrangements are just out of this world.
samples have all horn band you want btw
arrangement is what does this. same with using samples. not to undermine this great performance
WDR is consistently doing things that put my jaw on the floor. This is freakin' awesome.
Thanx!
best big band in the world
Horns are HOT and Tight!!
omfg the mix of that kick is absolutely thunderous. LC would be proud
I feel like I just found music again. I was just listening to the WDR Big Band arrangement of 'Around' on FB videos before I found this and I was so floored. I thought to myself it couldn't get any better than that. I was wrong. Wow just wow!!!

Hi Bradley! We try our best! Thank you for your kind words!
Louis Cole and John Goldsby is a completely unexpected yet perfect match. Perfect amount of room in that pocket. Ugggghhhhhhhh
Louis Cole put the big band to work!...most excellent
😃😃😃
I see knower
I click
Great music.
Genevieve is a goddess. Her voice blending with this spicy funky stuff is just... divine.
This is the future. Thank you.
Maybe...or the future exists now, Torrie!
This is the best thing ever
Thank you!
Insanely AWESOME!!! WOW!! So smoking hot fresh!! ❤❤
TThank you his!

LC makes me anxious with how far forward he sits on the beat. I love it

Thanks, Rodgebi ... it was lots o' fun!
Dude that alto solo. Love the editing too
Junge, junge, die Musik der WDR Bigband ist fantastisch. Ein Glück, dass sie damit nicht nur in WD bleiben.
So much hard work, technical skill and performance discipline. I think Louis Cole's face expresses everything there is in this music. The german big band plays with cybernetic precision and fantasy.
😊🎶
The more I hear it, the more I love it.
The colors of those harmonies, YUM.

Then I gotta listen to some Joey Defrancesco to cool down...
Sounds so FRESH!
It is so good to see a traditional Big Band used in this way. It really does work.
Thank you, dave!
Always innovating. Kudos to this splendid Big Band and its musicians!
The is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard.
So many innovators nowadays unfortunately release their fresh ideas in kind of medium or even low quality audio tracks. Finally KNOWER sounds!!!! Please do more collaborations like this!
Look at all these AMAZING MUSICIANS! Two sax solos, stop SPOILING ME!
Godang this is hot. My ears are BURNING FROM THE HEAT!!!
Woohoo! Fantastic!👏👏👏👏🎊
Thanx Joyce!
Awesome instrumentation!
Hi basausi! 👍🙏🙏🙏
There's just something so cool about the mix of old, young, men, women and a ton of talent and love. I just keep coming back for more 💜
Since the day this video has came out I think I have not changed my mind that this is one of the best live performances out there!
Thank you very much! Stay tuned, another track will be released soon!
holy god louis cole and geneveive are blossoming like knives that grew out of the concrete
goes without saying that this is dank musically but did anyone notice louis and genevieve’s outfits are exact inverses 😂
Dan Garmon they’re so gosh darned cute as a duo
Louis Cole Panasonic jacket is in another level.
geniuses!!
Not exact but damn close
