[@hrbigband]

Thanks Philippe! Did you also see our video production of the same tune and arrangement? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rImkZYmabLd3gLM

[@phchoucri1]

Thank you very much for the link. What a great Big band you are, That I know, we don't have such a project like yours in France. Congrats for the good ( and hard ) job.

[@DallasCrane]

The arranged intro was perfect. Soulful trumpet solo, The woodwind colors, the the sendoff for the tenor, all great sounds! One day I hope to send you guys a chart!

[@tobiasobsen1287]

dont forget the combination of bass clarinet and euphonium or the melody played by bass trombone in additiion to them, beautiful!

[@peterfriedrich4632]

Why not.................

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Is that Jim McNeely making the announcements? He looks so different!

[@hrbigband]

Yes, it's him. Our chief conductor.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

@@hrbigband Oh wow, I honestly did not recognise him as he looks quite different from his Village Vanguard days! He's a great player and arranger!

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Has this been released on CD does anyone know, please?

[@hrbigband]

Hi monsterjazzlicks, we haven't released it yet.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

@@hrbigband Thank you very much indeed for your response. That is very helpful. I was hoping to purchase the CD, is why I asked. Do you know if this is the only 'version' of JM's exact arrangement, please?

[@monsterjazzlicks]

@@hrbigband - So are you planning to record it on a CD? Or is it just an arrangement you perform at live concerts? Is the arrangement exclusively written for the FRBB, of are the parts/score available to anyone? Thanks a lot.

[@George_Pueblo]

Better than the Gil Evans recording

[@donsplace3625]

BULLSHIT!

[@monsterjazzlicks]

It's a great chart but I'm not so sure I like the dotted-eighth notes in the opening section. Perhaps it's just personal taste thing?
