    I have been listening to Frank for literally 50 years now. The more I hear, especially now that I hear others pick up and play his music, is the more that I realize what an awesome composer he was. Certainly as sophisticated as anything Miles Davis did IMO. Thank you hr-Bigband!

    @williamrice1955 Před 8 lety +2

    It's really a great arrangement. Frank would probably love it with the possible exception of the rewrite of the melody at 1 minute 12 seconds. You can't sing the words "from what we can't understand?" over that, not that words were ever more important to Frank than notes. But Frank did enjoy accuracy in the performance his music . Frank also might have objected to the trombone solo continuing after the solo section was over. The impact of the tight arrangement of the whole band was a bit weakened by the improvisation on top of it. But that's just my opinion.
