Rufus Reid & WDR BIG BAND - You Make Me Smile

[@goinxnginx]

I had the pleasure of a dinner with Mr. Reid about twelve years ago. I told him "I can't wait to tell my wife that I got to have a meal and a long conversation with Rufus Reid". He just laughed and said "She probably won't know who I am". His master classes and teaching techniques are also superb.

Nice story, thank you, goinxnginx!

The song makes me smile, and the piano solo made me chuckle. 😄

Hi Boyd! Great! That is the way, music should function...

[@chriswilkes4350]

Wonderful arrangement and the usual brilliant solo from Billy Test, and a great flugelhorn solo from Andy Haderer. Drummer was pretty impressive too!

[@toddhouston4523]

I was hoping Rufus Reid would have took a solo. Great as usual still.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Hi Todd!🙌

[@franvielmaperc]

Who’s arrangement is this? Maestro Reid´s?

[@WDRBIGBAND]

That´s right, Fran!

[@kainzpauli]

I think that's Dennis Gäbel on tenor 2 and not Paul Heller...

[@WDRBIGBAND]

True! Thank you for the hint, we corrected the mistake.
