Bravo les gars, on ne se lassera jamais d'écouter ce take five dans toutes les versions inimaginables. Merci pour votre talent.

[@pocketjazztrio]

Merci! Oui, c'est un morceau très connu par tout le monde mais pas bien aimé parmi les musiciens de jazz. On ne sait pas vraiment pourquoi... si on le joue avec esprit, sensibilité et légèreté, ca peut être intense! Vous êtes francais? On voudrait bien jouer en France un jour!

@@pocketjazztrio hello, je suis une Suissesse et j'adore le jazz, je vis près de Lausanne. Votre version est originale et vous jouez avec conviction. Vous l'adaptez à vos personnalités et c'est toujours du jazz. Continuez dans cette voie, cela vous appartient. Monique ( loupmarco)

The smoke coming off the flügelhorn... wow

[@pocketjazztrio]

haha! Yes, he is indeed on fire! Thanks for listening!

[@markielinhart]

Wow, you’ve done Brubeck/Morello proud‼️not to mention Wright. The horn is a nice sub for Paul Desmond👏👏👏👏✌️🌻

[@pocketjazztrio]

Yes, we wanted to stay true to the original that so many people know and love but still give it a fresh sound with the Flügelhorn. Glad you like it!

[@Myaccountishacked]

You guys are great ! I love ❤️ Greetings ! From the USA😁

[@pocketjazztrio]

Wow, that's nice to hear... Cheers from Berlin!

Goooood! Excellent performance.

[@ronaldunkel2681]

Outstanding rendition of this brilliant jazz standard folks. Instead of alto we have a coronet giving it a nice change. Excellent stuff gal/guys! G’day & Cheers

[@pocketjazztrio]

Yes, we wanted to give it a bit of a different sound with the Flügelhorn but still keep a similar vibe to the original with Paul Desmond... Thanks for listening!!!

Normally I don't like covers because it's insulting to the originator, but this is very well done, n the photography is masterful. I don't know about Germany, specifically, but all of Europe has always been very welcoming to this American art form. Musicians who struggled in the US have always found captive audiences overseas. Doesn't speak well of America.

[@pocketjazztrio]

I think we stayed true and respectful to the original. And with Jazz of course, playing well-known songs (and even quoting them in the solos) is very common and has even become game in itself. A song like Tenderly, for example, has been played by basically every famous jazz artist with their own personal take... And yes, you are right, Jazz from the USA is greeted with enthusiasm in Germany and fills the clubs better than local musicians, although I feel like (apart from pop music like everywhere) european classical music is still number one in terms of cultural reputation and power and Jazz is under-represented in the cultural life here. It is also difficult to earn money from Jazz here as well.

Thanks! Cheers from Berlin!

Create you own music. It is easy to cover.

[@basieellington6493]

I have to disagree. It is everything but easy to play a tune, I am a musician myself! This is jazz, in jazz it's all about the arrangement, solos and spontaneous interplay between the band members. That's why here you'll never come across the word "cover", because all the greats play well-known songs of others but they solo in a fresh way with their own personality... (It's easy making a remark like that, without having put any videos up yourself)
