Wow! Classic shift from 4/4 to 6/8, but as well: what great harmonies with dark as well as light chords, plus modulations, great soloing and ... the usual BRILLIANCE we just know is gonna shine!
🙏🙏🙏 Martin!

Hello pavel! 🙏🙏🙏
I can feel your Christmas sounds and wishes all the way over here across the pond. Thank you for your gifts of music all year long.
From Wayne Pierce in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Hello wayne, thank you! The only thing we were missing in Germany ...was the snow on Christmas Days...Did you have snow in Grand Rapids?
@@WDRBIGBAND Hello to the greatest big band on the planet! We didn't have snow for Christmas this year. Gray skys and rain. The kids were so looking forward to a white Christmas but Santa did not disappoint, and neither did the band.
I had a scotch and your great sounds and I was a happy guy! Thanks for reaching out across the pond. It means a lot when you guys and gals send out a message to your listeners!
Keep listening music, - it helps in many ways, wayne!
Gorgeous treatment, arrangement, setting, and performance.

Hello Steffen, great that you received our christmas gift! And thank you for watching us!
Enough has been said already about the great arrangement and fabulous playing by the whole ensemble - I can only agree wholeheartedly. As usual, the WDR are on top of their game.
PS: Nearly 17K views and only 650 Likes?! You gotta be kidding me! (Let me guess: "no singer"? This is where 'BGT' and all its clones have taken us... )
Thank you, Alan! It's not the number of views that counts, - but the joy experienced by the audience of our jazz music :)
Beautifully played. Merry Christmas.
Thank you, Charles!
Bravo pour votre merveilleuse musique !!! 👏👏
Теплое, бархатное, прозрачное звучание! Ваша игра всегда очаровывает и создает ощущение праздника. Всем- счастливого Рождества!!!!
Привет, Елена, большое спасибо за теплый комплимент. Мы также очень рады, что можем делать музыку вместе и что наше намерение осуществилось!
Jetzt kann Weihnachten kommen🌟💛🌟
Hi Elke! Wir hoffen, dein Weihnachtsfest war schön...
Klasse bei Blechabteilung und natürlich der Haderer,toll das Piano, toller Sound und es swingt!!!!!!!!
Danke dir, bernd!
So good to hear this "chamber" group step out with this beautiful reharmonized setting, so tasteful with every solo nuanced and on point. As always, recorded exquisitely with such a natural, blended sound. While I love Raphael's arrangement, I'm surprised he didn't finish the melody (several opportunities). The song itself ends with the missing phrase "until then we'll have to muddle through somehow" (Judy Garland) or "hang a shining star upon the highest bough" (Sinatra). Tasty playing and writing throughout, keep these gems coming. SB
Guilty as charged! :-) I was wondering who would be the first one realizing. After having finished and sent everything for printing, I suddenly woke up at night and realized that I had never really finished the little ending phrase of the melody...really sorry for that! Next time I arrange a song with such a popularity, I do a better job preparing. Best, Raphael
We also recorded "Have Yourself ..", but WDR BBand is an unrivaled model of the highest jazz artistry. Thanks.
Wow, Orkiestra! Thank you very much for your warm compliment and show us your version!

Muito obrigado, Cida!
Traumhaft .... Happy Christmas everbody :-)
Vielen Dank, GuHe!
All I can say is "Thank you very much "
🙏🙏🙏 Jim!
First of all - who is the arranger?! The arrangement is superb! Guys play excellently, as always. I wonder how you guys define this big band style of music - written jazz? Or just contemporary music?
Raphael Klemm arranged it!
Hi Victor! As Leo Friedrich wrote: This tune is arranged by trombone player Raphael Klemm and we say - it is swing and swing belongs to jazz. 🙂
@@WDRBIGBAND I'd say that we used to think that jazz is improvisational music, while big band jazz is mostly written music. And now my favorite jazz station calls any American music jazz. IMO this is just contemporary music.
Parabéns ! Um feliz natal a todos! !
O Natal passou muito rápido, você teve um bom Natal?
@@WDRBIGBAND tive um natal maravilho e vocês? Um grande abraço !
