New York Voices & Netherlands Metropole Orchestra

[@Joshualbm]

Good lord, what a magical vocal ensemble. It's incredible what they achieve harmonically as well as rhythmically. Astonishing, artistry. And that band... none better in the Universe.

[@lesavanderbie4144]

One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE groups!! I found these guys first album when I was about 25 years old. A-mazing hearing them again!!! They are the BEST!!!

[@laurafort1]

Sono passati 22 anni dal concerto ed è sempre attuale - Orchestra e arrangiamenti meravigliosi - The New York voices - semplicemente FAVOLOSI-

[@TheRealPattyD]

I had one of the sopranos here (Kim Nazarian) come to my school and give us a masterclass on our choir + a few soloists Truly an otherworldly experience! She’s insanely masterful in the art of music!

[@russanthony8604]

Had the God given privilege of seeing them 'live' under the stars in Portugal. Was a big fan of the old Manhattan Transfer but all of that love and joy has passed on to NYV. And as for Darmon's arrangements; well that all together another wonderful story

[@UltimateJazzyQuintet]

Literally, singing is at its top with these men and the ladies. Not to mention the metropole Orchestra is inevitable. Salutations.

[@guitartrainbillkalkman77]

Great guitar solo by Jesse van Ruller on Caravan.

[@exjazzbassbaz]

this orchestra is out and out class. always has been and always will be.bloody wonderful.

[@peterfulton8928]

This orchest's soloists are all superb. I particularly enjoyed the soprano sax on the 2nd Paul Simon number, "I do it for your love." AND Darmon's scat solo!!!

[@jsolomonmusic]

If you are a fan of the New York Voices, you have to check this one out. This performance is truly remarkable. It reinforces the notion of just how incredible human capability is. It just doesn't get any better. As a musical and performing artist, this fills me with such joy and awe! God bless the New York Voices and the Metropole Orchestra.

[@1marttie]

Spectacular, I have loved your group for many years. You always bring light to my heart.

[@singlairsilva2232]

WONDERFULL, MARVELOUS , BRAVISSIMO..

[@BrunoGebarski]

Anything John Clayton (directing the whole thing and the arranger of the first tune) touches or puts his hands upon turns into pure musical magic.

[@raymundobittencourt7275]

John Clayton is the BEST

[@cheese281000]

In my opinion the greatest all around musician of our time..

[@sandrovich1000]

Simplemente extraordinario, esto es delicia de musica. Un gran abrazo desde El Salvador para los amantes del genero más bello de la música, el JAZZ.

[@sanch8609]

Lo que no tengo muy claro es el nombre y orden de las canciones que hay en este vídeo. ¿Lo sabes tú?

[@AlanMcPike]

simply stunning on all levels, the singing is particularly wonderful - the musicality, breath control, intonation, FEEL, and ability to just breath together and do it live, and the "band" and arrangements! It really doesn't get much better than this and it deserves a zillion more views than what it currently is getting.. but then again... it's the highest quality music....

[@paulsawtell3991]

yes, Thomas Beecham was correct when he said: "You're lucky if 2 percent of the population is musical"

[@derisandre]

A marvellous orchestra directed by a marvellous man (John Clayton) with great singers!!! Great moments of musical joy!!!!

[@juriwendt-weiss5005]

BRAVISSIMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nancydrew5]

Merci!!

[@tuliomartilotti8307]

Many thanks to You Tube that allows me to listen and watch big bands playing like in the "good old times"

[@donnythejazz]

One of the greatest Orchestras in the world with what is probably the finest vocal groups. A great concert with some inspired soloing by the musicians in the band AND a string section that can SWING, who'd have thought. Meaders tenor playing is fine too. I've watched this a number of times and am knocked out every time, Great stuff, thanks to the uploader. It should have a million hits though, worth more than most of the stuff on KZbin put together.

[@paulsawtell3991]

The Metropole Orchestra was always world class

[@mikeuz3035]

They sure are a flat out musicianship! Their voices are out of this world. Thanks for uploading

[@Anike16]

I just met them yesterday and they are seriously amazing! I esp love KIM!

[@mmffxx]

Very good! After this I think Kim wants to hit the clubs. ;-P

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Brilliant, beautiful, in tune, in time, emotional, swinging, fabulously-executed, wonderfully fun, entertaining, GREAT music.

[@jazztemple2]

Mike James, exactly right on every point! This is kickin'!

[@t3cthecrosscountrycat104]

Just registering to the opening song again. Couldn't stop myself from singing along with that catchy, swingin', super-sexy trumpet solo!!! That player must have no problem attracting women...

[@saschakool]

Thank you thank you for this huge, wonderful concert by this great International orchestra under the direction of John Clayton with the swinging New York Voices. What a show! This event gives JAZZ A GREAT BOOST as a true world-wide artistic presentation

[@cr1646]

Si la perfection n’est pas de ce monde, dit-on, les New York Voices démontrent le contraire! Exceptionnel.

[@KristinaRjazz]

Listening in 2022! what a Joy !

[@svenssonhillerud818]

And ofcourse "I cant believe youre in love with me" its just so very virtuosic and that swing, fantastic!!

[@nancydrew5]

The legendary bassist, composer John Clayton cinducting this extraordinary orchestra s Amazing! Makes my ears sing! Listening to the accapella singing of NYV ar 27:28 is sublime!

[@ronaldunkel2681]

Great voices, great (huge) big-band and that incredible sound from that superb Bösendorfer grand piano!. Lovely concert. Enjoy, G’day & Cheers!

[@pipersnakis]

This is such a great jazz band! Super! The New York Voices are other worldly! Rarely have I heard any groups sing such close harmony. I sang in a vocal group with close harmony but these singers are crazy-wonderful... I gasp at their control and power. Wow and wow!

[@pietpont]

The absolute top in this kind of music!

[@dancinman74]

They are truly an inspiring and amazing group. Their sound is so unique and effortless! Always a favorite!

[@exjazzbassbaz]

The original freshmen reign supreme.nothing to fear here.as nice and pleasant as these singers are.if it paid you could get a dozen groups of this calibre

[@alfredoremus4409]

Tremendo cuarteto vocal, tremenda orquesta, tremendos arreglos del gran musico John Clayton!!!

[@alfredoremus4409]

Una maravillosa demostración de calidad y talento musical con todo el swing USA!!

[@jeanpierrecarpentier]

Ultimate Band-Orchestra and what a wonderful vocal group

[@TheCh405]

Hearing this in 2019 :) New York Voices one of my favorite groups since I've first heard their "What's Inside" album about 15 years ago. Naima's is my favorite song featuring a nice piano solo at 17:04 besides awesome singing perfomance. Especially what Jasper Soffer's playing at 18:09 of is solo is really great!

[@alfredoremus4409]

John Clayton extraordinario músico contrabajista y arreglador!!

[@alvarolopez50]

Simplemente lo bueno es lo bueno..... y a los que nos gusta la mezcla y la integración de varias voces esto es un elixir.....

[@singlairsilva2232]

[@GaryCliffe]

Just fantastic - makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up :-)

[@jzztpt1958]

This makes me want to jump up and shake, rattle and roll! It is great!!!

[@tomlemos2672]

This show was in 2001. The original name of the band is Metropole Okest and conductor in this occasion was John Clayton.

[@arnepursell5925]

That was amazing! And only halfway through it..

[@norbart76]

Thanks! I so agree :) Have fun listening again and again :)

[@Egbert1957]

Das ehrwürdige traditionelle Metropole Orchestra ist ein Traum. Klassisch besetzte Musiker, die richtig swingen und nicht holpern. Ich denke, NEIN, nach so vielen Jahren glaube ich das unsere Flachland-Nachbarn lockere Musiker, Showmaster und Fußballer haben; und ES ihnen völlig egal ist wenn mal WAS nicht perfekt sich darstellt.ABER dafür allen beteiligten Spass macht. (Siehe die Cellistinnen, beim Zuhören). Wie eben im Fußball. 5 Tore machen und vor lauter Spiellaune vier kassieren.Unsere klassischen Musiker meinen immer (als Strafe?)CROSSOVER spielen ZU MÜSSEN. Selbst die öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk-Anstalten unterscheiden hierzulande geflissentlich zwischen U und E-Musik. Wer sich auskennt wird erkennen WER ALLES an versierten Profis im Metro-Orchester zugegen ist. Als Semi-Posaunist höre ich HIER mit Ehrfurcht zu.

[@stafoonja]

Wow. Great voices and wonderful sounds are back. Fantastic.

[@headrat1]

WOW! From beginning to end

[@edeziojuniormorato8494]

Não os conhecia. Surpreendi-me ao ouvi-los. Quase tão bons quanto o Manhatan transfer.

[@BothellPlaysMusic]

eu acho que sao ainda melhor do que Manhatan Transfer

[@edeziojuniormorato8494]

Kevin Davis Sim, concordo que são bons mesmo. Ocorre que curto Manhattan a mais de 35 anos. Faz parte da minha mocidade e até hoje.

Ainda a pouco estava escutando Singers Unlimited, e elogiando o registro do album do quarteto de nome Singers Unilimited Magic Voices produzido com músicas que foram sucesso em suas épocas desde anos 40 até os 70, que eu considero o período mais espetacular e profícuo do século 20. Deveriam ter mais grupos nesse estilo. Um dos que eu sinto não ter muitos registros e que parece que o tempo os extinguiu, foi o grupo francês Les Double Six, que na minha opinião foi o mais criativo e harmônico de todos que eu vi. Eles faziam bep-pop nas vozes. Tem um resgistro no KZbin eles com Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, e o baterista Kenny Clarke. E inacreditável o que eles fazem com as vozes, fazem improvisos que os grandes instrumentistas do bep-pop como Charlie Parker, o próprio Dizzy, Bud Powell, Coltrane, enfim, os mestres e inventores do estilo bepop, produzem em seus instrumentos. É pura adrenalina bepop, fora a graça, a construção de vozes, a ousadia dos agudos e a pureza da contralto Mimi Perrin.

[@arrigoriccardoagosti9834]

e,come si fa a ringraziare KZbin di tanto strepitoso spettacolO-d icosì esaustiva musica -quanti talenti e quanti grazie a KZbin. THANKSSSS! KZbin!
