Neal Hefti - Girl Talk | WDR BIG BAND

[@maverickstyles9126]

Absolutely Heaven! All I need is a 64’ Pontiac GTO and a sigh of relief to go with this legendary piece. Peace ✌️

[@WDRBIGBAND]

😁...and sunglasses...👍

[@WILLIAMWatt-v1o]

The tempo and time feel are well chosen. Tough for a slow piece Love it

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thanx!

[@HQBergeron]

Very nicely done. So laid back, like an after midnight fm radio station would play for late night lovers. I’ve heard it done differently way back in summer 1972 at a Stan Kenton week long clinic where the band would play for us twice a day. Their interpretation of this classic started quietly but ended up rip-roaring with the trumpets an octave up and loud, then ending back at quiet. And Kenton had a great band, as always, with people like Willie Maiden, Jay Saunders, Dick Shearer, and a very young Peter Erskine. Terrific week!

Brilliant orchestra, capturing the sounds of Neil Hefti and the 60 s.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you, Mary!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you, but do not drink to much:)

[@ronaldunkel2681]

Nice relaxed swinging arrangements. The tenderly guitar solo complements this jazz classic by Neil Hefti to perfection. Thanks guys. G’day & Cheers!

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for your kind words!

I'm feeling very nostalgic right now.. this music takes me back to my youth in the 1950's.. watching old black and white movies on television

[@WDRBIGBAND]

[@fabricechaplin4536]

Same ! But in the 60's... in France, this masterpiece was a well known radio theme introducing a jazz program... as a kid, I heard it every evening, playing cars on the ground... feels quite and confy !

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Arrangers don't get enough credit. This is superb. Loved the guitar solo and the laid back feel of the whole ensemble.

[@donaldparks6087]

Such a super velvet-smooth arrangement of this great Hefti tune. What an innovative use of the plunger mute! Very cool. James--love your guitar solo. Very laid back. The swing chorus section--awesome. I just love the band. You guys would provide a very good excuse to travel from the state of Washington to Cologne. Thanks so much for this.

Any way I could play with this group?

[@WDRBIGBAND]

From where do you watch us?

[@richardschultz2413]

Bwap no buano

[@amineboumahdi6138]

played too germanic....

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Just me, or did the time and feel seem uncertain during this performance? Uncharacteristic of WDR, but I couldn’t shake my discomfort while listening.

[@davewilliams9978]

Wdr butchered this nice classic. Refer to original album

[@WDRBIGBAND]

It's a new arrangement, artistic freedom still exists, doesn't it?
