Jazz doesn’t get any better than this. Close your eyes and dream!!!

[@johnvaros8246]

Klaus Graf is one of my favorite alto saxophonists at the moment, this video is one of my favorites. It really showcases is ability to really lay back play some amazing music

[@edwinroberts2025]

To me, this is a GREAT Ballad! Sammy just keeps going, writing, directing at a rather advanced age!

[@BThomasLW]

Damn…this song brings back some memories!

[@joaodasilva7573]

Just wonderful

[@CooperWitzberger]

One of my favorite pieces of all time. I tear up listening to this.

[@SWRBigBand]

Thanks!

[@dan_4196]

May I ask what mouthpiece your alto soloist is using?

[@SWRBigBand]

+Daniel A : either Meyer 5M or Vandoren V16 6S

[@daytonf2959]

SWR Big Band how much do those mouth pieces cost

[@dan_4196]

Texas A&M Fan Sorry for not being the person you were asking, but I bought a Meyer 5M for about 120$ on Amazon and a Meyer 6M for about the same price. I don't know much about the V16 though.

How fantastic it is! Can I share this by reposting your channel on a nice platform named Gan Jing World? For sure that I will not change anything. If you are fine with that, please let me know. Thank you

[@martinvollnagel4500]

Very nice 😊

[@SWRBigBand]

Thanks 😊

Sammy! I was fortunate enough to be in some groups in middle/high school where he would come in to guest conduct/teach, and he'd also occasionally bring in some new pieces for us to try. He even had us over to his house once for food/drinks. Truly a great, gentle, caring soul (RIP). He was SO involved with music education.

[@SWRBigBand]

That must have been an amazing experience! Sammy was a fantastic band leader and composer.

[@raffosuarez]

Cream at the Top!!

Ich wußte nicht das die diese tolle Aufnahmen im Internet sind. Es war für mich ein unendlich schöner Abend. Die Musiker haben ihr gesamtes Können gezeigt und dann der, der alles so wunderschön für alle Ewigkeit anrangiert hat. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich jemals den Menschen kennnenlernen werde, der für die besten und geilsten Big Band´s (Count Basie aller Zeiten die Lieder arrangiert hat. Viel besser ist es vielleicht noch zu sagen, dass diese Musik mich unendlich inspiriert hat. Ich hoffe, dass dies auch anderen Musikkollegen so geht. Ein Musiker für die Unendlichkeit in Gedenken an Horst Fischer
