This is my favorite of this series so far. Can't wait to hear these guys live again.

[@nayaraalvesdedeus4399]

Great arrogance. They managed to improve the arrangement of a music genius. I've been listening to it for 7 years and I never get tired of it. Today, at least, I don't cry anymore. But the ecstasy is the same!

[@iwannaseeit1979]

*DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN*

[@slandes49]

[@demilizza556]

[@fraser405]

Is Stevie Wonder the only "pop" artist that doesn't have to be reharmonized? I've always loved these chords. Thank God for Stevie.

[@sharshar29]

WOWWW

[@ellabrendairianto5211]

This helps more than school

[@hafidhzailani1312]

Mark Turner is just amazing!

[@PhiLU2000]

I've listened to this tune now for the 20th time or so...and I'm still getting to like it more and more and...more. Thank you! Awesome groove. It's all about rhythm

[@sfjazz]

[@NahumBlat3028]

[@zakcattack]

Stuck in head for days. Saw them close the tour in Oakland. Fantastic!

[@rhetrochips9471]

[@thabosiphiwemngoma4772]

[@ConCitatoE]

Good God... A million thumbs Up!

[@Wo1926]

saw this live in Albany. when Eric drops that back beat at like 1:25 my life changed.

[@born2day]

I love their version of this song.

[@alleeefaa]

Stefon Harris holding the mallets in berton's grip! Awesome. Also, me and my friends are waiting for you guys to come to Sweden, and I have just about had it in waiting.. I just love SFjazz Collective. Don't ever stop the groove!

[@billyte1265]

Reminds of the music in Under the Silver Lake a bit

[@Malaperda]

[@vera23699]

that colorful ... that move ... what a delight ... that energy ... Wonder!

[@bmwalberg]

From a sax play who hangs with drummers, Eric Hardland's relaxed demeanor while keeping such a tight groove at first makes me smile

[@justjayok]

The musicianship in this is sickening. I LIVE!

[@JoeNaeem]

This is like... the ULTIMATE.

[@sfjazz]

it was a good year for the sfjazz collective! check out their newest work at SFJAZZ.org/digital.

[@TurboNeon185]

my preferred genre is metal but above that i love talented musicians. that is why i can come from pantera or system of a down and appreciate these guys just as much if not more.

[@hongseo5822]

[@peppeferraro8068]

[@dsavix4]

This is crazy good. The musicians are all so chill about it, despite the complexity of the music!

[@sec3622]

Loved this song since I first heard it. Nice arrangement, decent stereophonic audio quality and nice videography. I'll have to get to SFO and see you guys live.

[@duhranwilson]

This is so good that it is ridiculous... I wonder who comes up with the arrangements?

[@sfjazz]

Duhran Wilson "Visions" was arranged by vibraphonist Stefon Harris. Each year, all eight Collective members arrange a composition by an artist, as well as compose their own original.

[@jennyhollandable]

that's a great version of a beautiful song. thanks so much - and a really nice way to organize your repertoire. truly a collective.

[@justsimplelistening6390]

The band is amazing, but let's give more credit to Mr. Jack Conte for doing an awesome job with the recording. It really helps the music transmit the feeling it's supposed to transmit.

[@FraserJames1]

Hey guys, great job this is too good! I'd be incredibly interested in studying the score for this arrangement as part of my degree, is there anywhere I can purchase it or any way you'd possibly be able to send me a copy??! Would be eternally grateful! Keep making music

[@mattdot666]

[@NayaradeDeus]

Great arrogance. They managed to improve the arrangement of a music genius. I've been listening to it for 7 years and I never get tired of it. Today, at least, I don't cry anymore. But the ecstasy is the same!
