I know this is a little mawkish, but watching this video confirms for me what a universal language jazz, and music more broadly, truly is. The tune was written by a couple of Americans (from Missouri and rural Wisconsin), arranged by an LA guy with ties to Stan Kenton, and played here by a German orchestra. The fervor on the faces of the guitarist and other players shows you they "get" this music, in their own way, sure, but with no less passion than the composers themselves. What an exceptional tune, chart, performance, and band. Bravo!!

This orchestra has a truly wonderful sound. The musicians are top notch and the music is pumping!!! Truly beautiful sounds!!

[@gavinclark2786]

That moment between the soloist and the bassist at 5:11 is so dope

[@yorkemar]

enjoyed this as much as the origional pmg version.

[@marcdagher437]

This orchestra is fabulous and they are doing and playing wonderful music

[@LOS_NEGRITOS]

i consider the album from which the original tune comes from to be probably my fav piece of recorded music ever because ive been listening to it pretty much i was a baby, hence ive spent 20+ years avoiding any cover or iteration on these tunes which for me are just not to be messed around with. but this was super fun, in all honesty. Lyle Mays would approve, god rest his soul!

[@SWRBigBand]

Thanks!

[@michaelwatkins1702]

A great performance by a superbly modern early 21st century big band playing still modern late 20th century music by whom I believe to be jazz's greatest ever composer-Pat Metheny.

[@itsfabsss]

5:09 Love how the bassist responds to the trumpet player!

[@waynewright5023]

@ #fabass The person to whom the bass player is "responding" (or echoing) is playing a soprano saxophone, not a trumpet..

[@jimbarcelona1078]

Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays tune is truly great And the band represents this tune with class and great degree of fascination.Gteat job guys!

[@SWRBigBand]

Thank you!

[@ianroberts3948]

Великолепный биг бэнд! Эталон исполнения!музыканты супер!высочайшего уровня!

[@martinbamford8315]

For lovers of this underplayed tune, check out the song 'Loca' by Buika, where she repeatedly scats this riff in hommage to the PMG.

[@joshvalhalla7516]

Sevilla mit Martin Tingvall ist auch hervorragend

[@naughtycyrille3194]

Metheny is a fucking good composer

[@sestesejazz]

complimenti - ein sehr schwieriges st:Uck!

[@stephdensie]

merci pour cet emouvant moment de musique

[@justinsublett5880]

This is how you're supposed to play the jazz music kids. Lol. At least, this is how I was taught to play it in a good jazz ensemble when I was growing up. 👍

[@SWRBigBand]

Thanks!

[@gispel7058]

Herr Graff ist ausgeseichnet! Ganze kappelle ist herr foragant! Sorry about my german spelling

[@TALKMAN99]

Great solo stemming from “the lick” 🤙🤙

[@edwinwilliamson3467]

licck

[@ginguenga]

wowowoowowowowwo

[@elgranguanaye]

why not use a double bass ?

[@drummerflex]

I really enjoyed listening to this, but I really miss the driving rhythm of the original. The more laid back swing of this arrangement loses the unique feel of the original tune.

[@MrAvionic]

Das Orchester hat einen tollen Sound, ich vermisse jedoch die Energie und den Flow der Originalkomposition. Liegt möglicherweise am etwas lustlos arrangierten Schlagzeug.

[@Jazpa.]

Mach’s besser

[@jaysonbiggs8979]

Stiff.
