Yo. 1st sax did Shorter justice. Vick Bailey, Erskine and Acuna carry the whole piece! The maestro is fantastic. The orchestra, from horns to strings effing nailed bit. This is beautiful. Just gorgeous!
The tenor solo sounded like he was trying to meld elements of two very different players, namely the floaty harmony of Wayne with the rhythmic impact of Brecker. Very cool. Also loved the arranging of the mellow horns, the Flugels, Trombones, and French horns. Victor was awesome and I’d have loved to see WR with Erskine on kit and Acuña on percussion…yikes!
@@jonathantegnell9935 someone being jokey....yes that is the legend that is Peter Erskine....saw him in Maynard Ferguson's MF Band...before going to WR....a great story about that transfer.....
This came up in my feed as I’ve been listening to WR and especially Elegant People for days now after Shorter’s death. This is great! Really glad to have heard it - well done, brilliant.

Metropole at his best, great arrangement by Maestro Mendoza , amazing solo work , wish we had something like this in Italy, but I'm afraid it will never happen for a number of reasons . Be sure to check the upcoming "Get up" album by the Bob Mintzer big band, which will feature an amazing arrangement of the same tune !

What a beautiful piece! You guys have done it again, floored me with a sophisticated down home grove and so very laid back about it. Thanks for the happy new year elegance experience
Great music! Seriously funky groove (way more than some Cory Wong crap). And great solos--interesting and creative, not just playing the expected runs. Nice recording and video as well!
One of myall time WR tunes, this rendition...well I no longer have any socks on...and Vince Mendoza is so "composed", looking like Mr. Rogers and yet, hipper than shit...
yes indeed....and Victor Bailey (RIP) on the elec bass....Jim Beard (RIP) on the piano was never a part of Weather Report....but oh my the cat played with the creme de la creme.....ex. Pat Metheny-Secret Story.....the international Tour in 1992...album and tour for the AGES.....
@@jazzfusioner9840 Jim Beard also played with Wayne Shorter along with Alphonso Johnson, David Gilmore, and Rodney Holmes. That lineup has a couple of vids on RUclips that are worth seeking out.
@@n-dog9325 Thank you. He was amazing..that Secret Story Tour he shared keyboard duties with the one and only Gil Goldstein (on accordian too)....Jim was part of Steely Dan's (without Walter Becker-RIP) last tours too....check out some clips with monster Keith Carlock on the Kit....
You know you've made a STATEMENT as a Jazz FUSION Band when an Orchestra covers your work , not to bad but lack the Spontaneity of something that only comes from the MOMENT , but overall not to BAD , but you could see them feeling the GROVE, with RESPECT , Let us NOT FORGET , EDDIE Van HALIN

Chills..this was soundtrack of my life for years.. this is just brilliant
Great composition by Wayne Shorter always gives me the goosebumps ❤
That was wonderful. It made me glad I'm alive. Among other reasons of course.
Peter, Alex and Victor!!! Rest easy Victor Bailey
Love us some Victor...🙏
Zawinul; one of the greatest composers of all time!
That cowbell is very important to this tune!!!!!!❤
There is a"Before" and a "After" Weather Report. They invented new music: Simply Genius!
Brilliant 💓💓💓💓
Gosh Jaco would have simply loved this big band sound, as he was heading in this direction anyway. :)

Jim Beard (RIP).....on Piano....quiet Legend....
Notice, Alex never looks at the conductor, or any charts. He knows this inside and out. Peter T plays a brilliant solo. This is so gorgeous!
...word....
Wonderful tribute! So rich. Everyone having a great freakin' time!
I can listen to this all day. Everyday. And do!
Everyone on this planet should hear this.
word...
Wow! The solos! The drums! The bass! The song! The orchestration
"Those lips! Those eyes! Those nose!"
You know what I really love about this? You can tell the entire orchestra truly had fun nailing this.
Exactly!!!!

Peter Tiehuis. Such a heavy cat!

Love us some Peter, Victor (RIP), Alex, and Jim Beard (RIP) on the keys....this is a major WR rendition....
Frank Gambale on drums, epic😊
That's not Peter Erskine?
@@jonathantegnell9935 someone being jokey....yes that is the legend that is Peter Erskine....saw him in Maynard Ferguson's MF Band...before going to WR....a great story about that transfer.....
Shout-out to guitarist Peter Tiehuis, I really loved his solo! (of the WR alumni we already know how great they are;)
Peter just nails it down to a T....
WR didn't like guitar, it doesn't belong here
Music as it should be. Sophisticated and elegant.
With the fantastic Peter Tiehuis on guitar and Leo Janssen on the sax!
Thank you!!!!
Monsters...mind blown....
Alex Acuña’s ; One of the Best Performances of his career
I've listened to this about a dozen times since finding it! Wow!
This is great. I find myself listening to it several times a day.
Same
A real lesson on coming back to the theme.
At about 6:20, Tiehuis really feels it. Superb lead. Brilliant arrangement. Erskine, Bailey and Acuna carry the whole piece.
...everyone so in the pocket...mind blown...
This came up in my feed as I’ve been listening to WR and especially Elegant People for days now after Shorter’s death. This is great! Really glad to have heard it - well done, brilliant.
My jaw is on the floor....amazing solos, Mendoza reimagining, Peter, Alex, and Victor, Metropole Orkestra...outstanding....
Elegant tribute, as always with the Metropole , nice sax soloist too.
Leo Jansen, no sax tenor
Meraviglioso, bellissimo arrangiamento,musica di una bellezza intramontabile.
Peter Tiehuis absolutely one of the finest guitarists of all time. Stunning performer of total integrity.
Indeed...he just nails his solo down to the T...
Brilliance and tone colors.
What a nice surprsee! I became an instant fan.
Leo: sUper solo man en sUper sound! WOW, je slaat de nagel vOl op zijn kop hier! Dank je!
Fusion plus fusion equals SUPERFUSION !
I see Acuna and Erskine...
WOW!!!
I see Vince Mendoza, check his stuff out
....and Victor Bailey!
@@markyates8399 ...Victor...🙏
@@jazzfusioner9840 one of my favourites, a genius in my book. The bass on Plaza Real is just stunning.

This is a fantastic musical presentation and performance.
#PRICELESS!!!
Absolutely fabulous!!!!
Stunning in every way! I love this!
Prachtige compositie, HULDE Dear Wayne!!! En mooi uitgevoerd!!!
Love it! I've only seen a few seconds of this and I was floored by it! Wayne Shorter would be proud of this remake for real!
So nice to hear that full on! 🙌🏼 🔥
Wow!!! Fantastic. Super fine, etc.....!
Great performance and fantastic recording, great job!
Sounds like a Lalo Schifrin arrangement. Very elegant. Camera pans across skyline at night. Opening title, “Name of a Cop Movie”

It took some years in The Netherlands too and luckily we had Vince Mendoza. Buit yeah what a solo's...!!
Listening in 2022, amazing solo work..
Metropole...nothing else...popular all over the world.....as Todd once mentioned " Dutch National Treasure"......
Acuna from Weather Report on percussion.
Beautiful!
Absolutely the best
This arrangements is so on point.
My mind bloooeeewnnn away...
Some great moments Erskine and Alex throw in some syncopated fills that just are mind blowin...
ELEGANT PERFORMANCE.
Elegant People really suits this context well. Sax solo

Peter Erskine and Alex Acuna! You can`t loose!
And dear Victor Bailey (RIP) on elec bass...
Peter T! Geweldig.
What a beautiful piece! You guys have done it again, floored me with a sophisticated down home grove and so very laid back about it. Thanks for the happy new year elegance experience
Wow... that was incredible
So very thankful for such beauty...
Professional musicians..at the top of their game...with a Mendoza reimagined chart by Zawinul and Shorter...220v up and down the spine...
Weather Report....
This is the first time I hear this song played by other than Weather Report.
Very nice!!!
THE BEST OF THE BEST. MARVELOIS
Victor Bailey !!! One of the most underated fusion bass palyer 'cause he took jaco's place
So True!
He’s not underrated by any of us who play the electric bass!
So on point.......spine tingling rendition.......
Alex Acuna and Peter Erskine make it authentic. 👌
Great music! Seriously funky groove (way more than some Cory Wong crap). And great solos--interesting and creative, not just playing the expected runs. Nice recording and video as well!
interpretazione fantastica
Awesome!
Anything Vince Mendoza arranges is top notch. I first checked him out in the 1980's.
me since the 1890s
Vince is the man...
great tribute, great composition. Metropole arrangements are a Mo Fo
arrangement courtesy of Maestro Vince Mendoza....handling podium hono(u)rs too....
Wow, what a baseline! Doing Alphonso Johnson proud.
One of myall time WR tunes, this rendition...well I no longer have any socks on...and Vince Mendoza is so "composed", looking like Mr. Rogers and yet, hipper than shit...
bellissima versione. molto vicina a quella di jaco pastorius big band
rest in peace Victor Bailey
Victor bailey! Victor bailey!
Bravo Leo Janssen!

Fantastici...ma non è una novità...Grande brano dei Wather Report...
Liked it before I watched it on a hunch :)
profound.
So good
Is that Alex Acuna on percussion? No personnel listed, but thanks for the great post, just the same.
Ahhh.. down in the comments. I thought that was Alex. To think I saw him live with WR all those years ago.
@@jackhanan2872 ...nice one with Alex.. saw WR with O. Hakim on the kit...mind blown...esp that trash can lid....
great !
Alex Acuna and Peter Erskine!
