    this is a good time to remember the world that Maceo joined the James Brown band in... 1964.

    Brilliancy all in motions of sounds and vibrancy of all the musicians. Stevie Wonder, "Isn't She Lovely," how the world loves you..❤
    With the deepest appreciation and admiration for The WDR Big Band who allows Jazz to expand. The women playing their instruments were exceptional as all the others.
    Let's all give also the production team a loud applause. The making of this video in black and white drove this with an element of just the right lightning.

    Great arrangement and performance of this awesome band! Though, personally I'm not a great fan of Mr. Parker's unpolished and clownish sound. I prefere brilliant Frau Strassmayer 😊. I find the choice to feature two altos somewhat 'unlucky' in this context.

    • @ClaudioRCFaria
      @ClaudioRCFaria Год назад +1

      Too abrupt an ending on some notes, like a piano with no pedal.
      Karolina Strassmayer made up for it, though.

  • @adryanrockenbach6772
    @adryanrockenbach6772 Год назад +1

    Thumbs down. Hokey arrangement, not in the original key of the song for no good reason. Maceo's horn is slightly flat. Drummer is way too on top of the beat (too fast). Keys, bass, horn section all excellent but I feel bad for them they have to play on this song.

    • @forrest2851
      @forrest2851 5 месяцев назад

      Yeah you are completely right about the drums it feels like the swing is gone…

    • @learnsaxnow338
      @learnsaxnow338 4 месяца назад

      I get where you’re coming from. I’m guessing the key change is to make it more accessible for the alto sax. The original key falls much better or tenor.
