Bassic Goldsby - 50 Years On Stage | WDR BIG BAND

[@glennkaufman7228]

John, we've never met, but I have enjoyed your playing for many years. An integral part of the WDR sound. I wish you well in whatever your next chapter brings. Good health, good luck!

[@fabriziovincitorio9377]

John Goldsby's professionalism, versatility, taste and musical knowledge are immeasurable. In recent years I have followed the WDR channel always paying particular attention to the work of the rhythm section: Goldsby and Dekker are solid as rocks and capable of playing any repertoire at the highest level. I wish Maestro Goldsby all the satisfaction he deserves in the continuation of his life and his musical career. It's as if a friend moved far away: at that moment you understand how important he is and how much we will miss him!!

Great John, thank you for your talent and genorosity . I wish you all the best

[@BassistPaul]

Best wishes to John from here in the UK.

One of the most beautiful concerts you will ever hear. It was only fitting that Bob Minzter conduct this event and bravo to Mr. John Goldsby. Thank you John for all these years of love, passion and professionalism with the world's best big band, WDR. Thank you for sharing this.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Thank you for watching!

I'm from Mumbai, and I've heard them about 50 years perhaps here. I can't believe the arrangements & playing... can be so perfect in unison, technique ... upto the bassist, sound & ALL !!!! May Jesus bless all of the WDR band, families... !

[@klaus7114]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch lieber John Goldsby, und vielen Dank für das schöne Konzert. All die vielen Jahre deines musikalischen Schaffens mit der WDR Bigband durften meine Familie und ich miterleben. Wir wünschen dir im „Ruhestand“ alles Gute, Gesundheit und noch viele kreative Sessions und Konzerte und senden dir und der WDR Bigband liebe Grüße vom Niederrhein aus Viersen.

[@waynepierce3690]

John, I don't have the right words to express how thankful I am to have spent hours with you and the WDR BIG BAND! I looked forward every time I saw KZbin send another wonderful composition from one of the greatest bass players and big bands on the planet. You will definately be missed by all of us around the world, and especially by me, one of your biggest fans across the pond in the USA! I wish you all the best that life has to offer you in your retirement years my friend!

[@carlosemmerich1200]

[@StudioTrumpeter]

John Goldsby Respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevenhogenson4880]

During what must be an event of extremely mixed emotions, John just seems to be having a blast. Such a world class player and gentleman...WDR won't be the same.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Wow, 50 years! Congratulations on so many wonderful musical moments and on creating a great library of recordings and memories!

Great basist. Just incredible. God bles him .

[@jeremyschuh]

I wish he brought out the 5 string Sadowsky for this last show. The sound of it on "Marquis Hill feat. by WDR BIG BAND - Ego vs Spirit" is incredible. He's one of the first people I think of who has an excellent upright and electric bass sounds along with Patitucci and Cranshaw. The Jazz Bass Book is one of the best bass book out there. Thank you for everything John!

[@PaulReadMusic]

Beautiful compositions and arrangements. Congratulations on your retirement, John.

[@berndnawothnig1848]

Retired, what a crazy word. Pensioner, what a crazy word for a musican like you. You are leaving the WDr Bigband. So What. Now You will start your next career. I wish you all the best.

[@rocherdaniel588]

Dans mon commentaire j'ai oublié de féliciter le Big Band pour sa prestation .Bravo à tous les solistes qui ont été au top!!! leur qualité est à la hauteur du professionnalisme de Mr Goldsby...bravo à tous.

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Merci beaucoup pour les mots aimables.

[@rocherdaniel588]

@@WDRBIGBAND C'est totalement mérité et je le pense sincèrement

[@gillesmercier2089]

Merci à John pour tout ce bonheur. Petit conseil : change de coiffeur ;0)

[@chop1992]

I tried the Metheny hair, the Jarrett hair…nothing works 😂 The next step is: bald!

見事なサウンド、テクニック。巧みなアレンジ、その腕前は演奏態度モジェントルマン、高感度にも現れ、歴史、苦労は、彼等の頭髪にも、伺い出来る、大変遅れたが、不安の末尾に参加したい、

[@WhisperJetAmerica]

Wish you were this good at playing Black Jack

[@のいちひでお]

初めて見聞するバンドですが、jazzの本場、ミラー、ベイシー、エリントン、クインシー、サドジョーンズ、グッドマン、パーシーフェイス、ポールモーリア、等、メジャーグループしか店頭に並ば無かった、言葉から察すると、独語Europaの産物？??、だが、決して比肩を取らない、見事である、ベリーグッド、サンキュー、ユーチューブさん、

[@Evaswi]

kommt jetzt caris hermes nach?🤓

[@WDRBIGBAND]

Die Nachfolge ist noch nicht entschieden!

[@PaulMcKendrick]

Difficult shoes to fill. He will be missed.

[@Thouveninpascal]

Does one member here need any direction, even from the great Mintzer ?For me it kills the magic side of Jazz music in big band. In HIS big band, Mintzer plays , does not direct.

[@chop1992]

A lot of bandleaders conduct and/or play and conduct. For a change of pace, check out Vince Mendoza’s “Sonatina” in the beginning of the 2nd set…

Ein Verlust für die Band, aber mal abwarten was kommt.
