[@MrDsmith1959]

You’re gonna be missed John,man.Stay blessed 😎❤️💥

[@glennkaufman7228]

John, we've never met, but I have enjoyed your playing for many years. An integral part of the WDR sound. I wish you well in whatever your next chapter brings. Good health, good luck!

[@franksteinhardt8495]

Thank you John Goldsby for the years with the WDR BB! I can not imagine my long jazz life without theWDR BB and you on bass in the past! All the best wishes !

[@fabriziovincitorio9377]

John Goldsby's professionalism, versatility, taste and musical knowledge are immeasurable. In recent years I have followed the WDR channel always paying particular attention to the work of the rhythm section: Goldsby and Dekker are solid as rocks and capable of playing any repertoire at the highest level. I wish Maestro Goldsby all the satisfaction he deserves in the continuation of his life and his musical career. It's as if a friend moved far away: at that moment you understand how important he is and how much we will miss him!!

[@MikeJamesMedia]

John, you certainly deserve this lovely recognition. I will miss you, (!) and wish you the very best with whatever is next for you! ❤

[@marcoadcampos]

Great John, thank you for your talent and genorosity . I wish you all the best

[@BassistPaul]

Best wishes to John from here in the UK.

[@DeeArroyo]

One of the most beautiful concerts you will ever hear. It was only fitting that Bob Minzter conduct this event and bravo to Mr. John Goldsby. Thank you John for all these years of love, passion and professionalism with the world's best big band, WDR. Thank you for sharing this.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for watching!

[@morenoalphonso7212]

I'm from Mumbai, and I've heard them about 50 years perhaps here. I can't believe the arrangements & playing... can be so perfect in unison, technique ... upto the bassist, sound & ALL !!!! May Jesus bless all of the WDR band, families... !

[@GeorgR-g2i]

Thank you, John, for all these years and all the best for you!

[@jimryon1002]

I just love this band. Oh how I wish I could hear it live.

[@carlosemmerich1200]

Congrats, herr Goldsby. Thanks for your music, And long life to You!!

[@SergioPamiesMusic]

Congratulations to a great career and so many wonderful contributions to this big band. I had the pleasure to play with John Goldsby during a master class at UNT as a member of the One O'Clock rhythm section, and I remember specially how humble he is and how supportive he is on the bandstand. A true gentleman and a wonderful jazz musician.

[@stuartgraham7576]

Just wonderful. Thank you John for your great playing. I'm missing you already.

[@seandennis3148]

I'm very grateful to John for his huge and oh so splendid contribution to this sensational band!

[@Fabelnegros]

[@WDRBIGBAND]

[@galinakrivulin6767]

Such a magnetic concert, watching it again. Thank you, Mr. John Goldsby for being a constant presence with WDR Big Band for 30 years. All the best to you!

[@rocherdaniel588]

Mr John Goldsby merci à vous pour la qualité de votre collaboration au sein du Big Band.........pendant 30 ans........Bon vent pour la suite!!!!

[@th022556]

John, congratulations on a great run. I hope to see you back in your hometown Louisville someday.

[@waynepierce3690]

John, I don't have the right words to express how thankful I am to have spent hours with you and the WDR BIG BAND! I looked forward every time I saw KZbin send another wonderful composition from one of the greatest bass players and big bands on the planet. You will definately be missed by all of us around the world, and especially by me, one of your biggest fans across the pond in the USA! I wish you all the best that life has to offer you in your retirement years my friend!

[@michaelbereckis]

Danke für das schöne Abschlußkonzert!

[@klaus7114]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch lieber John Goldsby, und vielen Dank für das schöne Konzert. All die vielen Jahre deines musikalischen Schaffens mit der WDR Bigband durften meine Familie und ich miterleben. Wir wünschen dir im „Ruhestand“ alles Gute, Gesundheit und noch viele kreative Sessions und Konzerte und senden dir und der WDR Bigband liebe Grüße vom Niederrhein aus Viersen.

[@maegnificant]

Vielen Dank. Ich habe mich auch sehr über den Auftritt im Gleis 4 in Frankenthal gefreut! Ich wünsche Ihnen alles Gute!

[@ElenaPetropavlovska]

Джон Голдсби- это целая эпоха!!! Он Великий мастер! Самые лучшие пожелания ему в дальнейшей жизни 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏

[@EduardoSposito-e4y]

Great basist. Just incredible. God bles him .

[@WDRBIGBAND]

🙏🏻

[@stevenhogenson4880]

During what must be an event of extremely mixed emotions, John just seems to be having a blast. Such a world class player and gentleman...WDR won't be the same.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Wow, 50 years! Congratulations on so many wonderful musical moments and on creating a great library of recordings and memories!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

[@johnsoneyo1233]

Farewell John and God bless you 🎉

[@StudioTrumpeter]

John Goldsby Respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@luizfiliolia157]

Congratulations to the best big band of today! 🩷 🇧🇷

[@kristoferpersson1614]

Great concert!

[@PaulReadMusic]

Beautiful compositions and arrangements. Congratulations on your retirement, John.

[@jeremyschuh]

I wish he brought out the 5 string Sadowsky for this last show. The sound of it on "Marquis Hill feat. by WDR BIG BAND - Ego vs Spirit" is incredible. He's one of the first people I think of who has an excellent upright and electric bass sounds along with Patitucci and Cranshaw. The Jazz Bass Book is one of the best bass book out there. Thank you for everything John!

Retired, what a crazy word. Pensioner, what a crazy word for a musican like you. You are leaving the WDr Bigband. So What. Now You will start your next career. I wish you all the best.

[@rocherdaniel588]

Dans mon commentaire j'ai oublié de féliciter le Big Band pour sa prestation .Bravo à tous les solistes qui ont été au top!!! leur qualité est à la hauteur du professionnalisme de Mr Goldsby...bravo à tous.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Merci beaucoup pour les mots aimables.

[@rocherdaniel588]

@@WDRBIGBAND C'est totalement mérité et je le pense sincèrement

[@MrEnikbenik]

Excellent! 👍💫🎇🥀🤪

[@fentishxt4492]

ILL MISS YOU GOLDSBY!!!!

[@seandennis3148]

Would you also tell us what was the Baron's Dilemma was, please? ❔

[@chop1992]

Whe I was spending some time in the city of Baden Baden, I met a “Baron” (Freiherr) which is an old title of German nobility. This rather eccentric man told me he had just bought a huge castle, but it needed so many repairs…the moat needed digging out, the cellar was wet, the roof needed fixing…that was this Baron’s Dilemma!

[@gillesmercier2089]

Merci à John pour tout ce bonheur. Petit conseil : change de coiffeur ;0)

[@chop1992]

I tried the Metheny hair, the Jarrett hair…nothing works 😂 The next step is: bald!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

@chop1992 😉

[@WhisperJetAmerica]

Wish you were this good at playing Black Jack

[@のいちひでお]

見事なサウンド、テクニック。巧みなアレンジ、その腕前は演奏態度モジェントルマン、高感度にも現れ、歴史、苦労は、彼等の頭髪にも、伺い出来る、大変遅れたが、不安の末尾に参加したい、

[@のいちひでお]

初めて見聞するバンドですが、jazzの本場、ミラー、ベイシー、エリントン、クインシー、サドジョーンズ、グッドマン、パーシーフェイス、ポールモーリア、等、メジャーグループしか店頭に並ば無かった、言葉から察すると、独語Europaの産物？??、だが、決して比肩を取らない、見事である、ベリーグッド、サンキュー、ユーチューブさん、

[@Evaswi]

kommt jetzt caris hermes nach?🤓

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Die Nachfolge ist noch nicht entschieden!

[@PaulMcKendrick]

Difficult shoes to fill. He will be missed.

[@のいちひでお]

一部言葉に間違いか有りました、正しくは、ファン、訂正致します、ゴメンナサイ、

[@hornsby5533]

Ein Verlust für die Band, aber mal abwarten was kommt.

[@Thouveninpascal]

Does one member here need any direction, even from the great Mintzer ?For me it kills the magic side of Jazz music in big band. In HIS big band, Mintzer plays , does not direct.

[@chop1992]

A lot of bandleaders conduct and/or play and conduct. For a change of pace, check out Vince Mendoza’s “Sonatina” in the beginning of the 2nd set…

[@lessonwithcraig]

Thanks for the ride you took us on… 👍🏻✌🏻🫶🏻 Always…👋🏻 😎 ☕️
