WDR Big Band feat. Christian McBride performing Killer Joe

[@drumz47]

Hans Dekker driving the band and Karolina with the icing on the cake and of course Christan Mcbride. Such a brilliant combination . WONDERFUL.

[@davidmaslow399]

Karolina Strassmayer and the trumpet player just tear it up!

[@snakeyes1952]

Christian McBride, Carolina Strassmayer it can't get any better than that! I am a firm believer and fan of this great big band and look forward to seeing, hearing and viewing new videos as they come. WDR you are one of the great, if not the greatest, Big Bands to happen on the music seen in recent years. As I stated before, I am a fan for life! Thank you for the joy of music that you all bring!

[@Karolinastrassmayer1]

Thank you, Cliff!

[@PayDaVig1]

I was first introduced to this song in my mid teens I guess. The intro stopped me dead. I was young but when I heard the walking bass line I realized, even at the age of fifteen, what "cool" meant. I just turned sixty-five and Quincy Jones' chart of "Killer Joe" is still one of my favorite jazz tunes.

[@MrSteveG58]

I really couldn't have said it any better.

[@pipersnakis]

Karolina Strassmaye Wow dear girl, that is one of the best flute jazz solos I have heard, ever!! Speechless!

[@phyllispetras3369]

WDR, should have begun again!!!!!!!!!!

[@cfb15jan]

Hope someone in the UK will invite this superb band over sometime........SOOOOON!

[@Navroze]

[@phyllisjohnson6442]

[@paololongojazz9128]

[@pacrimco]

Love the WDR big band, they are a class act in their own right and even more so with visitors aboard.

[@Skipperj]

I'm a new fan! I've heard of Christian McBride.

[@cessaly100]

Maaaaan tooooo smooooooth! Karolina ROCKS!

[@hahabass]

Love that flute solo 🔥🔥🔥

[@davidscott1052]

I like the way she is spitting out the notes..a way I like to hear the flute played , something I try to do with varying success...Good to see someone as great as she is doing this...something to aim for 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@cleaveguytonjr707]

Go girl! Every time I hear that song, I think of my man Hubert.

[@FCntertainr]

First time I heard WDR they played behind the maestro Josef Zawinul. This lady played an alto solo and I was blown away! I became a fan and wanted to hear more of her work.

[@jimbarcelona1078]

This was a kick of this Song! Loved this version as a Jazz drummer it hit a great spot in my heart! Loved playing along.

[@1marttie]

Once again you folks have broken the ceiling on this arrangement!! Just outstanding!!!

[@peterlaw201250]

Its the first time I've heard Karolina on flute.Someone please write a number to feature her on flute.What a band to have behind you when your soloing.This is a band that's shows you what can be done.What an inspiration to up and coming musicians.More please.

1:10 flute solo (Karolina Strassmayer)

[@SweetSpotGuitar]

Beautiful all around, and I love the trombones' laying back in the pocket on their stabs.

[@davidmaslow399]

Heavenly Sounds!

[@CraigMansfield]

I always wanted to play the flute. She's a wicked floutist :D She's going to flout all over the place........... who said that :)

[@maloneap64]

Great flute work by Karolina on this classic piece by Benny Golson. The whole band sounds great on the Quincy Jones hip arrangement from Walking in Space.

[@andreashoppe1969]

Benny golson... a genius!!

[@brucekuehn4031]

Another one of those old guys that we’re lucky to still have with us. Benny Golson - 91 years old

Thanks for showing your prowess on the flute, Karolina. It encourages me to play both -- the alto and the flute! NB: I heard some Jeremy Steig runs...

Great playing Karolina, I shared it on my Jazz Group facebook.com/groups/jazzvideo

[@Egbert1957]

[@edwinroberts2025]

You know this piece has only two chords, basically, and thus makes me wonder how they can come up with such interesting solos!

[@jonathanblack4622]

"YUP"...

[@majr4]

except for the 1st back-up section licks

[@majr4]

OKAY........all the section sections.........my bad.....

Way to swing Karolina:) trumpet solo was too stiff and angular..no swing:(

[@haraldb.6538]

Too much flute. It's HARD Bop!

[@DR.Jazzmusic010]

Please don't complain this is top shelf and it certainly better than hip hop and and rap - wish it could be music
