There are tons of great big bands playing around,, and thank heaven for that. But there are very few able to carry through with this unfailing sense of precision and this deep and ever flowing collective musicality. 💛💛💛😇

Karolina is really playing what the music calls for!!!! Does anyone know the ligature she plays?

[@angelr.merced3443]

Looks like a Rovner Platinum, the ligature.

Auf eurer Wikipedia-Seite steht nichts von einem Gitarristen und daher meine Frage, wer spielt bei euch in der Rythmusgruppe Gitarre ? vg

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Wir haben in unserer Besetzung keine feste Gitarre mehr seit 2022. Zu bestimmten Produktionen laden wir Gitarristen ein.
