Sabeth is very reminiscent of Flora Purim. Amazing voice!

[@jeffclawson9236]

This is so amazing on many levels!!! Please please tell me where we can purchase this?

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Audrey, - last week were just the concert. There is no cd or itunes available right now.

[@liriosanz]

WDR Big Band la 1 !!!!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Lirio! Great, - thank you!

[@roberthunt1540]

Now, THAT'S a jazz singer.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

🙂👍 Robert!

[@DihelsonMendonca]

I can´t hardly wait to see Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock on this wonderful orchestra.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Indeed that would be great!

[@danielshade710]

Always a good sign when you pretty much only Neumann and AKG in front of them blowy things most folks are playing. Things like Bach or Selmer written on blowy things also a good sign. Really synchronized wiggley fingers, again, a good sign. And frequency congruence lastly, a good thingy too.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you very much, Daniel!

[@SuperDonLong]

Wow, Paul Heller bringin' the Brecker!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

😉

[@DihelsonMendonca]

The piano volume is too low. They got right the piano sound on the Bob Mintzer show, but now...

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Dihelson, thanx!

[@MrMorgorot]

WDR - moi niemieccy przyjaciele od muzyki. ;)
