Warren Barker has such a gift of arranging.

WOW, WOW, WOW. This was astonishing. I came across this because we are learning it and I personally needed a reference. This is exceptionally well played, i felt like i was at the Oscar's. I loved that trumpet solo "On a clear day" - warm and lovely slight vibrato. The sparse applause was dsiappointing as it deserved so much more. They have no idea how damn good this performance was. I was using this to play my 2nd horn part along on KZbin. It was like I was at rehearsal. The accuracy, tuing, timing was so good that I had to play the first half about 15x before I could get in the same space, timing, rhythm, and 80% of my bugs worked out. It was like a mentor!~. I have listened to this on different occasions and each time I come away a better player. I tell you, this was performed like a typical Hollywood concert / big band or TV orchestral - I felt right there. And hats off to the audio recording and even the video. The audio was especially good - clear, clean, no stuffiness or room echo. Don't know what mic you were using, but it is superb. The conducting, the players and the percussionists were simply fantastic . Tĥis should be your signature piece. BRILLIANT. Thank you Dave

Wonderful arrangement of these timeless melodies. My groups played this as well over the years.
