Aaron Parks & WDR BIG BAND - Central Parks | Concert

[@stuartdryer1352]

Aaron Parks deserves to be a LOT more famous. These pieces are small symphonies. I love the long forms.

[@tiluriso]

Thanks for sharing. Aaron Parks is arguably the most versatile and talented pianist /composer/leader of the past 15 plus years, his' 2008 debut 'Invisible Cinema' is IMHO a Modern Jazz Classic album, also love his 2013 ECM solo piano work, 'Arborescence', as well as both Little Big releases, as well as his outstanding 2017 Trio album 'Find The Way'.

[@MonitorSmith]

I fully agree.

[@MonitorSmith]

Aaron Parks is an outstanding composer, musician and improviser, I am happy to see him getting more exposure. The WDR Big Band creates a beautiful setting for his music here.

[@Eduiglesia]

One of the best big bands in the world along with an exquisite pianist and composer!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

😊🙌🎶♥️

[@longhaulblue]

Brilliant! Not your "typical" big band music. Christian Elsässer brings his A-game to Aaron Parks' music. The arrangements are orchestral and the WDR big band shows us how good they really are. Bravo!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@michaelbereckis]

@@Kontrabass66 of all the things I have written on the internet I would never have guessed that this would be the one to get someone triggered. Relax dude, I just like Aaron Parks. And god doesn’t exist btw. Now would be the appropriate time to be triggered. 😂😂😂

[@duncanlemay7446]

Really some incredible arranging. I love the way it sets these pieces so musically and gives the musicians space to speak.

[@jeanpierrecarpentier]

Wow,, what a treat this concert 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎💖💝💛

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi, Jean Pierre, thank yo for being with us all the time! ♥️🎶

[@openreels]

Incredible playing, fantastic sound, and such beautiful arrangements by Christian Elsässer (with shades of Maria Schneider coming through). I love the way he keeps Aaron's chord structures intact, and expands them into the band format. The transition at 1:09:55 is killer. Simply great work!

[@ulrichhobler8755]

Ich bin mal wieder hingerissen von dieser Big Band! Der Sound und die Solisten sind erstklassig.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Herzlichen Dank!

[@wolfgangberger5079]

„Lilac“ at the very end is missing in the songlist.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you, we corrected it.

[@JDAUDIOSHG]

Klingt ein bisschen körnig, die Mischung. Kann aber auch an dem YT-Stream liegen. Konzert trotzdem klasse. Gruß aus der Jazzfabrik Schaumburg vom Jörg

[@Kontrabass66]

Klingt so, als wäre es nicht im Studio sondern live aufgenommen, viele kommen damit einfach nicht mehr klar..danke dafür, WDR!

[@MrDsmith1959]

Great Conducting

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you!

[@bobbybroom]

[@wolliwolfsen291]

I‘m sometimes asking me what Bach, Beethoven/Mozart, Liszt and Ligeti in their epochs would have said to this kind of music

[@WDRBIGBAND]

What for?

[@StudioTrumpeter]

💥💥💥💫💫💫💫💢💢

[@chriswilkes4350]

6/4 for the first tune?

[@jenslindstrom3257]

Monk, is good

[@TheMoegig]

Enjoy your music for tthe first time. Will look for more going forward. See you're going. to Jazz. Dock when in Prague. Try to meet up with Emile Viclicky while there and say Hi. Acquitance of mine. Good guy.
