  • +++The WDR BIG BAND CD album "Jackets XL" is nominated for the GRAMMY 2022 in the category "Best large Jazz ensemble album".
    With 40 years of stage experience, the Yellowjackets are one of the leading ensembles of "Contemporary Jazz". The quartet was founded by Robben Ford in the late 1970s and since then the Yellowjackets created their own, unmistakable sound, which combines acoustic and electric jazz in a special way. In addition to multiple nominations, the band has twice won the coveted Grammy music prize.
    With the CD project "JacketsXL - Yellowjackets & WDR Big Band", the two ensembles once again reaffirm their decades of collaboration. After the release of the video "One Day" here comes the title "Downtown", composed by Russel Ferrante and arranged for the WDR Big Band by chief composer Vince Mendoza. Solos are played by Soli spielen Dane Alderson on E-Bass, Johan Hörlén on Alto Saxophone and Will Kennedy on Drums. Recorded in November 2019 at WDR Studio4, Cologne.

    6:17 Nice... Wim Both is underrated. He is one of the best lead trumpeter in the world, as far as I know, who has never failed in his role at Wdr Big Band. Remembering the lead trumpet part of the Wdr Big Band I heard, it has never been easy play. He never failed to play a performance that he would have struggled with if it were someone else. He is the best. I think he is the ensemble itself, which is neither prominent nor lacking in presence in the ensemble. If there is any hidden hero in the Wdr Big Band, He is.
