I want this to be played at my funeral. This version. That's how much I love this version. If I was a little drunker, my eyes would pouring tears of joy right now as I type. Thank you
Man...I want this played at my funeral too., (seriously).. But I rather go for the "live in New York" version. Nevertheless..great rendition by this BigBand!
Ya gotta remember … frank loved big bands … i twice saw the Berkeley symphony play 5 of his ballets … there were 27 percussionists alone in that 115 piece “band”
The spirit of FRANK, resonates in every instrument, in every performer of its irreverent and beautiful music, thanks ZAPPA, you are always in my heart, in my ears, THANK YOU SO MUCH
Real musicians playing real music. This moves me in many ways. I love to think Frank would be moved with such amazing performances. Of one his greatest standards. This is honestly the greatest Zappa cover I have heard. :)
All around great job. The arrangement is beautiful, nuanced, and dynamic. The performance is flawless to my ears, and a truly professional job on the audio mix, and video. You should all feel proud, this is special.
Beautiful job guys, very moving! Love the pianist's touch! The horns are great! Great job of the conductor/violinist with RDNZL! It's so great to see Frank's music being performed by groups such as yours.I'd love to get the sheet music for these pieces.
Sofa #2 is my most favourite piece of music EVER for a good 30 years now(The version on YCDTOSA #1). RDNZL is so beautifully and naturally blended into it. The first time I heard this, I cried a little. And the second time, and the third time... 😅
Really fine arrangement and performance! I feel it captured the feeling of the original, which was sublime and difficult, but nonetheless meant for The Common Man, like Copland's Fanfare... like the Marvin windows I build,
Really really really good! This is it. This is Zappa. I can revisit this video as many times as I can the originals and be just as satisfied. I really can’t say that about any other covers, outside of maybe the Berkeley Zappa band. Thank you!

Now, thats a statement :) Thank you!
This and Watermelon in Easter Hay
Man...I want this played at my funeral too., (seriously).. But I rather go for the "live in New York" version. Nevertheless..great rendition by this BigBand!
YESS! That’s what I’ve always felt when hearing this, particularly in the slower tempo as here.
@@iancarson3277 si,para mí Watermelon es una de mis canciones favoritas de Frank.
wow, again im blown away by how many young people honor frank. the effort is herculean, it has paid off, its beautiful
Thank you for all your lovely compliments!
big Band gveriLLaz team 2016
It fells like you pulled out just a bit of the goofy humor the original had, and revealed the stunning romanticism as a result. Gorgeous.
Penso siate gli unici che abbia mai ascoltato ad aver migliorato Zappa. La mia stima di cuore.
What a version. Splendid job guys.
I love searching out Zappa covers and you did him proud.
