The arrangement, the balanced mix with super transparent sound, every single musician’s performance, the vibe, the tight groove…I could go on and on…👏👏👏
Omg u bought me to tears this has been my favorite since first heard in 76 that was the year I lost my mom now it’s been 47 years only to to find out many years later he wrote this for his mom
THIS ISN'T FUCKN' SALSA...IT'S POLISHED COLLEGE STUDENTS DOING A NICE "POLISHED" RENDITION OF STEVIE WONDER MUSIC....OK? JUST FUCK YOU; & BIG BAND AT BEST TRY! TELLING MAMBO LEGENDS ORQ. OR SPANISH[NOW DEFUNCT] HARLEM ORQ. THAT THIS IS SALSA, & YHEY'LL THROW YOU A BAG OF NACHO CHIPS....FUCKN' YOUNG PROFESSIONAL LYERS
OH YES, now that's what I'm talkin about .. Have at it . REAL REAL A PLUS.. Have at it .. Peace. Made my day , oh yeah.. MORE PLEASE, starving for quality music . MORE PLEASE
I love this. So much. I can’t stop playing it. I wish I could sing like you guys. Great arrangement and great voices and musicians thank you thank you thank you.
¡Simplemente excelente! Todos los cantantes, y la orquesta y arreglos también. Los temas de Stevie son están muy bien escritas y se traducen bien a otros géneros. Quiero más de este grupo! Salsaludos desde Virginia, USA.
Olá Drew Zaremba! Vocês são uma orquestra literalmente. Quanta técnica, paixão e habilidade no cantar e transmitir toda harmonia e sonoridade nesse grande sucesso do Steve Wonder que também produz canções com muito sentimento e talento. Parabéns a todos e um abraço do Brasil!
Very good vocal performances with some added chords for the chorus which add resonance. I wonder if the great man has heard this version and hopefully likes it
Do love you!!!!All of you are very good indeed! I adore the fantastic quality of your band!!!!! You are marvellous!!!! Drew Zaremba , thank you and if one day I would have the opportunity to meet you , for sure it will be my pleasure !!!! My brother is a musician and lives in Flórida and has very good songs too!!!I do love good songs like yours !!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Drew, you are amazing. This arrangement is out of this world. The musicians are all phenomenal. Thank you for the music. You make the world a better place.
They got everything right! Loved the arrangement (and performance), salsa romantica, the salsa conjunto, the modern jazz big band, all the different, excellent vocal textures (loved Vaughn's delivery--so easy and soulful), and the recording, nice harmonic "excursions," all beautifully integrated-perfect! Great sax solo, too. An important achievement considering Stevie Wonder’s songs, like this one, have always had a Afro-Cuban/Latin thing going on, and an arrangement like this brings that latent musical quality to the forefront. Only in America!!
Musicos increibles. Voces priviligiadas, Stevie Wonder fue quien dijo: ! "Si esta música no está entre los Grammys, todos los Gramms que ganado los voy a devolver". Desde ese dia hubo premios Gramy para la música latina ! Gracias Stevie ! ! ! ! !
As a drummer addicted to son and salsa, I love this version of one of Stevie's best songs. It's very consistent with the clave, while some arrangers seem to write randomly, as long as it sounds latin. And you master the jazz stuff with these sophisticated chords. The best of the two worlds.
It is extremely difficult to choose a favorite Stevie Wonder song. But what is now easy is to choose my favorite arrangement and performance of at Stevie Wonder song - it is absolutely this one!!!!! What an arrangement! What a performance. I am so happy this video popped up in my youtube feed. Thank you so much for this incredible music.
Love love LOVE that you used a big band with real instruments and singers!! And I'm now a fan of Tahira Clayton - listening to her reminds me of Nancy Wilson :-) Thanks for writing, recording and posting!
wow these guys play in tune, have excellent ensemble performing skills and articulation, good tempo and meter awareness, and are just overall a very refreshing group of excellent musicians. Rare nowadays.
Hola amigo!, me encantan tus videos!!! Son muy inspiradores!!!!!, soy saxofonista, arreglador, compositor y productor discográfico, mil gracias por compartir estos videos!!!!!!, un gran abrazo desde Argentina, El Pala Sax...
Love this spicy arrangement of an awesome Stevie Wonder song. I like how each singer is unique but also has a little Stevie channeling going on. And then that hot bridge to the mambo! Muy sabrosa!!
Amazing. I grew up with the original soundtrack and let me tell you that it´s very hard to respect the original feeling of the song and at the same time introduce you own and personal stamp. Thank you
I revisit this glorious clip again and again, in amazed delight at how wonderfully beautiful it is. And me, a Wagner devotee! What talent, what skill, what wonder! 🤩❤👋
That was AWESOME!!! Absolutely beautiful. Nice arrangement, vocals, solo's, EVERYTHING! WOW THANK YOU. I'M BOWING TO ALL OF YOU AND AM GIVING YOU ALL A STANDING OVATION (my wife thinks i lost my marbles LOL). Gratitude for all the years and years of practice and for sharing. INCREDIBLE!!!! MADE MY NIGHT!
Drew thats perfection of this master piece .. where is this specific sound track available to buy ... I do have a perfect high end stereo system with sound prosessor in my car ... please let me know ..
Awesome! Top notch arrangement and stunning performance by every musician. Incredibly clean and tight recording. Intonation, incredible. Impressive. Count me as your newest fan. I would love to hear you and that big band live somewhere, anywhere.
Sounds like the yummiest stew you ever tasted!... Spectacular 🤳. How come these superb musicians are only now emerging. My guess, technology, which equals money for the whole studio and stuff. Congrats!, you made it, Drew!
@@carlosschvartzman8374 I'm sure technology plays a part in this - saxophone tech has come a long way with regards to the sax instrument intonation and mouthpiece production but technology does not transform a smoldering carcass into filet mignon.
@@scruffyleon7383 ☺️ You didn't get it. I meant they were ALREADY top-notch musicians since many years ago. In Drew's case, when he was still a (superb) student at the University of North Texas. However, without these great techno gadgets we can now enjoy their performance. I'm from Asunción, Paraguay. Greetings!

This song by far is my most favorite composed and sung by Stevie Wonder. This Mambo/Salsa Version is on FIRE!!! I simply love it.
Man, all I can say is, "Wow!"
The arrangement, the balanced mix with super transparent sound, every single musician’s performance, the vibe, the tight groove…I could go on and on…👏👏👏
Omg u bought me to tears this has been my favorite since first heard in 76 that was the year I lost my mom now it’s been 47 years only to to find out many years later he wrote this for his mom
Unfortunately I can only give one like...All the outstanding musicians involved deserve a seperate like. Love the arrangement choices too
THIS ISN'T FUCKN' SALSA...IT'S POLISHED COLLEGE STUDENTS DOING A NICE "POLISHED" RENDITION OF STEVIE WONDER MUSIC....OK? JUST FUCK YOU; & BIG BAND AT BEST

Awesome Drew, super fun arrangement and a room full of crack musicians are the icing on the cake!
God: where were these smoke free jazz & blues clubs in the 60s & 70s when I got into listening to the music?
Such a beautiful tribute to an awesome Stevie song. All performances here are way on top! This includes the production of the sound and video.
Amazing arrangement....on the level of the "Caravan" arrangement in the movie "Whiplash." Bravo!!!!!
Nice take on a classic all musicians seemed attracted to each others sounds .... it's music!!
