WDR always slays. Every chart. But, let’s give some love for this mix. Buttery, poppy, perfectly balanced. Kudos to the sound engineering crew!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you, Always!

[@freddekker5589]

Perfect band sound balance, spotless execution, great solos, nice arrangement. What else to expect from a big band performance? Thanks for posting these WDR big band clips, and "keep on keepin' on jazz" to quote the late great Clark Terry

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for your kind words, Fred!

[@JessJurkovic]

Superb band and superb arrangement! Listeners may want to know that this is the title tune from a studio album of 1962, and the tutti section in the first half of the arrangement is a transcription of Paul Desmond’s solo on the same tune, heard on the amazing At Carnegie Hall album from 1963. Inspired!!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you!

Emotions run high when listening to WDR Big Band playing Dave Brubeck “Bossa Nova USA”. Enchanting! Serenading the morning here! Thank you all.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Is there anything better than starting the morning with a music serenade, Galina?

[@galinakrivulin6767]

[@MrEnikbenik]

Ух, ах! Как классно! Балдею! Деккер не играет, он порхает, как мотылёк. Никакого напряжения! Абсолютно легко и свободно! Я им просто любуюсь. Его мастерство доступно нам, благодаря профессиональнейшей, филигранной работе звукорежиссёров. Кажется, что они способны озвучить шорох тени! Как всегда, прекрасная аранжировка, удивляющая пачками унисонных пассажей, сыгранностью коллектива. Спасибо! Excellent! 🤪👍🤗✨🌹

Took a while before the Brubeck influence came in (i'm no musician lol)...had the pleasure of seeing the Dave Brubeck quartet at the Kimmel center in Philadelphia w my son, who's become quite a musician himself.. big fan of Brubeck.....was awesome...those old geezers could play!. Thank you...great stuff as usual!

[@Striperbass2]

sorry...my mistake, it was there right from the beginning....worth listening to over and over lol....

WDR A band of today playing music of the past I listened to most in my time This is up with the best

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you, Peter!

[@dingusdingus2152]

Brubeck may be "music of the past" but bear in mind, those cats were way ahead of their time and their tunes will never go out of style. WDR big band more than does them justice, and I'd bet that, were the quartet members still around, they'd feel honored to have their music featured by this amazing group. I had the pleasure of hearing brubeck back in the 70s, and now I have the pleasure to hear wdrbb's rendition, what a treat!

Fabelhaft. Wunderbares Stück, gleichermaßen diszipliniert wie entspannt dargeboten. Es versetzt uns zurück in die 60er, klingt aber viel besser. Klasse Sound-Engineering.

Though I am fully aware of what the initials, WDR stand for, my belief is that it could also be a contraction of "wunderbar"", for What a truly wonderful band it is.
