Danke

[@ham485]

I just cannot believe why there is someone who dislike this. What a bunch of deaf people.

[@remito71]

Jalous people

[@Berkleesaxman]

This really grooves! But anything that musically involves Bob Mintzer is going to groove! The dude is the ultimate tenor Sax Jazz player and is one of my heroes. Great sound, great musicians!

The premiere US small group jazz ensemble meets the premiere European large group jazz ensemble, outstanding arranging and something has to be said about the quality of the recording as well, the microphones and mix that is so difficult to get right in a live setting, this is what happens when the sound artists performing are recorded by sound artists of an equally virtuoso level. Thanks. Bravo.

[@ggrey5990]

Well said - the recording really is outstanding.

[@herrfriberger5]

Yes, this is pretty nice, but there are many many great ensembles out there, all over the world...

[@goinxnginx]

Add my Bravo to yours, Scott. Well stated, man.

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

@Sven Ekeberg There are, but the WDR Bigband really stands out. Check out their work. The level of craftsmanship, their versatility, the culture of playing is way up there with the very best. There is a reason why Vince Mendoza works with them a lot, why their current leader is a guy named Bob Mintzer and why Peter Erskine - a drummer who worked with them all - says that this is simply the best BigBand around.

[@rmoraespinto]

It is difficult place this or that as premiere group. I like WDR pretty much -- top musicians, arrangement, choide of repertoire and visiting [stellar] instrumentalists and singers. But there are other big band orchestras wich perform at the same level. The same be said about the Yellowjackets.

[@1marttie]

This is one of my favorite performances!!

[@samuelrivas4051]

Top Top arrangement beautiful players...well done Yellow Jackets with the great WDR Big Band.

[@alfredoremus4409]

Esta orquesta es tremenda como todos los conciertos que realizan con encumbrados músicos, un verdadero deleite para la vista (casi todo en HD) y LOS OÍDOS! BRAVO!

[@laslatty1016]

Fantastic drumming...he just drives that band ...on ...and...on...and ON!!!

[@s_a_willi]

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[@dwightvisionsinc.6088]

The best of both worlds. Beautiful! I have always loved big band music and I love the YellowJackets, so perfect! Thanks Michael for sharing.

[@samuelrivas6621]

THE BEST FUSION BAND WOW....LOVE IT...ONE OF MY FAVORITE JAZZ BAND.

[@sandrovich1000]

Tremendísimo concierto. Gracias por compartirlo. Un gran abrazo desde El Salvador.

[@1marttie]

Revelation, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep!!!!

[@victorimanpandiwidjaja1600]

This is wonderful arrangement of the great fusion band. Thank you for sharing this video

[@laslatty1016]

Excellent arrangements!! Excellent Sound!! Great cohesiveness!! It's as if they have been playing together for years...This is what I could not do as a keyboard player all my life...cause I can't read a note of music. This kind of music can only be produced by musicians who read music in their sleep!!

[@thierrydumas]

J'ai cherché ce morceau Dewey que j'avais mis en favori pendant plus de 4 ans ,perdu suite à un changement d'ordi, aujourd'hui je l'ai retrouvé!!je reconnais Andy Haderer ,Franck Chastenier, un saxo,le guitariste de basse...

[@pneptun]

Nguyen Le killin it! :)

[@egroovejazz]

thanks a lot, i looking for this full video since couple years ago!!!

[@1marttie]

The conga solo on Orange Guitars is smashing!

[@samuelrivas6621]

That guitarist is very excellent...hmmm....wow...dam......nice trumpet solo to....beautiful...

[@rmoraespinto]

Great to watch Jimmy Haslip enjoying so much the music and playing at the side of Nguyen -- the guitar player.

[@victorimanpandiwidjaja1600]

the guitar player played such nice

[@tuffguy007]

Just found this. The virtuosity is beyond belief.

[@hblbegin6694]

Nice nice...bravo!

[@dimitriskaraganis]

amazing vocal and of course WDR

[@WSS_the_OG]

This version of Azure Moon is, well, over the moon. Or it has me over the moon anyway. Incredible with full brass and woodwinds behind it!

[@adoris864]

I love it too. It's a great version.

[@anttipollanen3671]

It got me into tears the other night... When the orchestra tunes itself in during tenor solo, it's emotionally overwhelming.

[@WSS_the_OG]

@@anttipollanen3671 Nguyen Le's solo kicked it up to another level too, totally unexpected. Incredible performance by all.

[@miles-178]

brilliant, whole concert !!!

[@1marttie]

Reminiscent of Miles album Tutu. Love it! The percussion and the bass player kill it!!

[@1marttie]

Getting Over You, wow!

[@WoodlawnSound]

Looks like an ad for Electro-Voice RE20s!

[@victorimanpandiwidjaja1600]

Wow..I just knew that YJ make a lyric version of their composition "Evening Dance".. the singer also so great (don't know her name)

[@mrssiraporn]

Can't write any sentences to explain this performance. Wow... !!

[@1marttie]

What kind of ride cymbal is Mr. Kennedy using on Azure Moon? Love it!

[@MrPliniomt]

Best Concert I've seen

[@danroley7850]
