The gentleman playing the trombone solo is pretty darn good...the entire ensemble is uber tasty.

Dang. That was a really amazing solo from Melissa Aldana. What a nice build up.

[@JerryAttric42]

so this is what's going in North Texas? please continue! what's impressive to me (besides Melissa's wonderful extended piece) is the high musicianship of the Lab band. it gives hope that somehow these young musicians will mine something from the jazz masters of the past and extend it, bring fresh blood and ideas to this music.

[@MelodiesForEverybody]

Melissa Aldana's wonderful saxophone playing fits perfectly with the band's beautiful warm sound which includes some talented young soloists.

[@Joe-w9h]

[@rmoraespinto]

Melissa as a composer - very impresive. P.S.I heard somo Meria Schneider here...

[@kevave54]

me too..very much so

[@kevave54]

Reminds me strongly of the music of Maria Schneider!

[@ericdrucker7134]

Outstanding! Was this influenced by Mingus? What's the time signature at the end cool drum pattern on the snare

[@soulsticejazz2635]

Tenor soloist sounds a little bit like Dexter Gordon...absolutely beautifully crafted solo

[@kevave54]

I hear some licks of the great Michael Brecker in her solo..

[@Bluejay-ri1yf]

Did John Sturino graduate?

[@liamheffley]

im so sad he's not in this band anymore

[@animeprincess98]

Anyone have program notes and know who the vocalist is?

[@willianliusanchez868]

Can someone tell the names of the tunes? can't find them

[@samthorpe_]

14:55 ! all these solos were brilliant, but some of the lines there are just ridiculous

[@DanLoFat]

I would be very surprised if someone told me that the drummer never had at least one lesson with Peter Erskine

[@SteveDew]

Two bass trombones?

[@jazzsmells9341]

sorry aber : eine sehr weisse und kopfige Musik , akademisch und ohne groove

[@gerhardbitter1581]

Ok, auch mir ist aufgefallen, dass es keine farbigen Musiker in dieser Band gibt, aber man muss auch konstatieren, dass es ohne den Einfluss von Charley Parker, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Elvin Jones und vielen anderen Farbigen diese ganz tolle, impressive, expressive und groovige neue Musik nie gegeben hätte und deshalb auch die Musikentwicklung um einiges ärmer wäre. Die sogenannte E-Musik kann m. E. musikalisch mit dieser Bigband kaum mithalten!

@@gerhardbitter1581 Melissa Aldana ist bestimmt farbig....

[@kevave54]

Vielleicht ohne 'groove' aber es ist trotzdem schwierig nicht zu bewegen auf dem Metrum und die Polyrithmik...
