Chick Corea - Spain / La Fiesta | WDR BIG BAND

- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2021
- The WDR BIG BAND feat. the two Chick Corea pieces "Spain / La Fiesta" on bass John Goldsby, on trombone Andy Hunter, on piano Billy Test as well as Johan Hörlén on alto saxophone, Karolina Strassmayer on flute and Ruud Breuls on trumpet. Conducting in the concert is former principal conductor Michael Abene, who also wrote the arrangements. Recorded on October 9, 2021 at the WDR Funkhaus / Cologne.
On February 09, 2021, the keyboardist and composer Chick Corea passed away. With him, the jazz world has lost one of the greats. Born in Massachusetts, Corea began his career in the 1960s. He gained great attention when he contributed to the groundbreaking Miles Davis album "Bitches Brew." In the 1970s, Corea enjoyed great commercial success with his fusion band "Return To Forever." Repeatedly switching between acoustic and electric lineups, Corea played almost exclusively his own compositions, many of which have since become standards. In honor of this great musician, the WDR Big Band, under the direction of Michael Abene, has conceived a program of Corea's works that primarily reflects the keyboardist's acoustic side.

It is very important to note and not to forget that the main melodies and theme of this piece are from The Aranjues Concherto for Guitar by Joaquin Rodrigo from Spain.
The brilliant arrangement by genius Corea made the theme even more popular.
Hi Raymond! Thank you for describing it!
We've got some outstanding Big bands in the Netherlands, Big band of the Metropole Orchestra, Big band of the Concertgebouw orchestra, but the WDR big band is simply one of the best in the world. ❤️
Thank you for you kind words, Videre!
🙌🙌🙌
Finally Euphoniums have entered the big band. Now we're talking!
Hi herbert, The euphonium is used more often as it seems to you...
Add two bass clarinets plus a piccolo flute between the saxes!
Yes and not to mention the tubas that the trombones are doubling on also.
It's time we consider turning music theory into music fact or possibly even - dare I say - music law. because that guy just broke my brain.
@@WDRBIGBAND all right those are either over over the throne euphoniums or downsized tuba's, but ALL HAIL RICH MATTESON!!!
Eines der besten Arrangements, wenn nicht sogar das Beste. Weltklasse Musiker in einem weltklasse Orchestra!! Bravo!!!
Vielen herzlichen Dank für deine herzlichen Worte, Kurt!
John Goldsby, un mostro e genio assoluto!!
Hi Giorgio! Thank you!
What a unique arrangement…always loved this piece..fantastic Rhodes solo Billy…
Hi Jeff . ... and thanks to Michael Abene for the wonderful arrangement....
I thought it sounded more like a Wurlitzer.
It looks like a Würlitzer electric piano and sound sometime between a Fender Rhodes & and a piano würlitzer!
But it sounds great!!!
One of my favorite bass solos by Mr. Goldsby!!
Hi Brooke, we're glad you like it!
Fender Rhodes solo is magic. Chick was probably there, too. Karolina nice and rich tone on traverse flute, warm.
😎 Marcel!
Chick Corea's two greatest hits in a warm and welcome arrangement on a crisp November day. Thank you for these little gems.
Thank you for watching, Henri!
I remember Mr. Chick Corea's live performance at a steel folding chair about 5 meters distance from him and the Piano. It was a miracle special real experience.

Bravo 👏👏👏🍷🍷🍷
'Corea has made no secret for his love of Spanish, Latin and flamenco music. In 1972 he debuted perhaps his most well-known composition, “Spain,” inspired by Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez. The piece has been recorded countless times since, including versions by de Lucía and Tito Puente.'

Thank you for your kind words, Heppel!

🙏 Manfred!
It begins with the Adagio of the Concierto de Aranjuez, by Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo, in contrabass and flute. Beautiful.
Yes, that is his all the way up to 2:30 and I’m always a little disappointed when credit is not given. Written for classical guitar and orchestra by Rodrigo back in 1939. Chick was born in 1941. Also used on Sketches of Spain from Miles Davis and Gil Evans in 1960 without the knowledge or permission of the original composer. Señor Rodrigo died in 1999 at the age of 97. This melody was his most well known work.
Just trembling so good!
Hi beltstst! but keep concentrating on listening to the music while trembling 😎
Just amazing!! Excellent and nice!
