Metropole Orchestra Elegant People

[@asdi234]

Chills..this was soundtrack of my life for years.. this is just brilliant

[@jamessteen6667]

That cowbell is very important to this tune!!!!!!❤

[@williampinner1893]

That was wonderful. It made me glad I'm alive. Among other reasons of course.

[@stevecorley3625]

Notice, Alex never looks at the conductor, or any charts. He knows this inside and out. Peter T plays a brilliant solo. This is so gorgeous!

[@Doty6String]

Wow! The solos! The drums! The bass! The song! The orchestration

[@GCKelloch]

"Those lips! Those eyes! Those nose!"

[@stevecorley3625]

You know what I really love about this? You can tell the entire orchestra truly had fun nailing this.

[@Kay.Kbngo10]

Exactly!!!!

[@jazzfusioner9840]

...Word...

[@leonguisburg413]

Peter, Alex and Victor!!! Rest easy Victor Bailey

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Love us some Victor...🙏

[@stevecorley3625]

I can listen to this all day. Everyday. And do!

[@keesbisschop6887]

Great composition by Wayne Shorter always gives me the goosebumps ❤

[@jazzfusioner9840]

My jaw is on the floor....amazing solos, Mendoza reimagining, Peter, Alex, and Victor, Metropole Orkestra...outstanding....

[@klapsigaarenbasgitaar1931]

Shout-out to guitarist Peter Tiehuis, I really loved his solo! (of the WR alumni we already know how great they are;)

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Peter just nails it down to a T....

[@consideredwhisper]

This came up in my feed as I’ve been listening to WR and especially Elegant People for days now after Shorter’s death. This is great! Really glad to have heard it - well done, brilliant.

[@ghostshadow6628]

Music as it should be. Sophisticated and elegant.

[@porks8318]

Stunning in every way! I love this!

[@musicbypetegonzales4814]

I've listened to this about a dozen times since finding it! Wow!

[@stargazer1sd]

This is great. I find myself listening to it several times a day.

[@jacobgiroux851]

[@noelhall945]

A real lesson on coming back to the theme.

With the fantastic Peter Tiehuis on guitar and Leo Janssen on the sax!

[@Kay.Kbngo10]

Thank you!!!!

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Monsters...mind blown....

[@paulgerards6494]

Leo: sUper solo man en sUper sound! WOW, je slaat de nagel vOl op zijn kop hier! Dank je!

[@stevecorley3625]

At about 6:20, Tiehuis really feels it. Superb lead. Brilliant arrangement. Erskine, Bailey and Acuna carry the whole piece.

[@jazzfusioner9840]

...everyone so in the pocket...mind blown...

[@sanidan2010]

Sounds like a Lalo Schifrin arrangement. Very elegant. Camera pans across skyline at night. Opening title, “Name of a Cop Movie”

[@paxwallacejazz]

Elegant People really suits this context well. Sax solo

[@deetgeluid]

Peter Tiehuis. Such a heavy cat!

[@jazzfusioner9840]

word....

[@JVLIVSPhoto]

Love it! I've only seen a few seconds of this and I was floored by it! Wayne Shorter would be proud of this remake for real!

[@dennislillie8047]

Fusion plus fusion equals SUPERFUSION !

[@liecht]

What a nice surprsee! I became an instant fan.

[@user-od4ov5rn9k]

Frank Gambale on drums, epic😊

[@virgilrw]

This is a fantastic musical presentation and performance. #PRICELESS!!!

[@phillywop1]

Elegant tribute, as always with the Metropole , nice sax soloist too.

[@mangiaedorme2321]

Leo Jansen, no sax tenor

[@bella201288]

Metropole...nothing else...popular all over the world.....as Todd once mentioned " Dutch National Treasure"......

[@HHGary]

Wow... that was incredible

[@aldostella7585]

Meraviglioso, bellissimo arrangiamento,musica di una bellezza intramontabile.

Peter Tiehuis absolutely one of the finest guitarists of all time. Stunning performer of total integrity.

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Indeed...he just nails his solo down to the T...

[@jean-patrickpillone8012]

Victor Bailey !!! One of the most underated fusion bass palyer 'cause he took jaco's place

[@mikenichols8598]

So True!

[@jimmyimy2009]

He’s not underrated by any of us who play the electric bass!

[@percyweissi]

ELEGANT PERFORMANCE.

[@Giltribe]

Bravo Leo Janssen!

[@richarddegener]

Victor bailey! Victor bailey!

[@gabrielecomeglio47]

Metropole at his best, great arrangement by Maestro Mendoza , amazing solo work , wish we had something like this in Italy, but I'm afraid it will never happen for a number of reasons . Be sure to check the upcoming "Get up" album by the Bob Mintzer big band, which will feature an amazing arrangement of the same tune !

[@narvul]

It took some years in The Netherlands too and luckily we had Vince Mendoza. Buit yeah what a solo's...!!

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

Listening in 2022, amazing solo work..

[@jazzfusioner9840]

Some great moments Erskine and Alex throw in some syncopated fills that just are mind blowin...

You know you've made a STATEMENT as a Jazz FUSION Band when an Orchestra covers your work , not to bad but lack the Spontaneity of something that only comes from the MOMENT , but overall not to BAD , but you could see them feeling the GROVE, with RESPECT , Let us NOT FORGET , EDDIE Van HALIN
