Metheny 5-5-7 | SWR Big Band

[@TheInfoProResearch]

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!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

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.

[@improcat1]

Love the "Letter From Home" album, and love this, well done.

[@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!

[@ianroberts3948]

One of pmg,s somewhat underated pieces.This is a superb version . Pat and his band will love this.

[@gavinclark2786]

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

[@geovaniferreira7697]

Seria muito bom para nós, amantes da boa música, a disponibilização de mais vídeos dessa brilhante orquestra no youtube.

[@larryn9230]

Very good! Soprano solo was happening!

[@mitoyorosa2825]

Bravo!

[@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..

[@geovaniferreira7697]

Excelente orquestra.

[@ronaldward5620]

nicely done....

[@PabloVestory]

¡Qué Maravilla!

[@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.

[@herostatus]

Walter Becker from Steely Dan and Robert Plant on trumpet. Never knew they could play.

[@drummerflex]

Yeah. And I had no idea Alec Baldwin could play drums!

[@Riedel777]

Klasse! 👍🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@jakobbansch4838]

Klaus am Abdrücken

[@joshvalhalla7516]

Sevilla mit Martin Tingvall ist auch hervorragend

[@TALKMAN99]

Great solo stemming from “the lick” 🤙🤙

[@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

[@elgranguanaye]

why not use a double bass ?

[@Jazpa.]

It’s supposed to be played on e bass
