"The Horace Silver classic “Nica’s Dream" proves an inspired addition to "Kinetic." In arranging the Silver classic, Feifke manages to honor the original, while also modifying the piece’s groove into something entirely new and wonderful. Indeed, in contemplating Horace Silver, we can emerge with key insights into some of Feifke’s own musical goals: an embrace of simplicity and beauty to maximal effect, a rhythmically charged melodic line, and an ability to balance musical profundity and enjoyment. To hear those goals align so spectacularly here is undoubtedly one of the album’s highlights."

First class treatment of a great jazz classic.
I hear Thad Jones in there. I hear Bob Brookermeyer in there. I hear Vince Mendoza in there but most of all... I hear Steven Feifke in there.
thanks so much Greg, that's a really nice compliment! you just listed three of my biggest influences.
I love hearing new (for me) big bands- and this one knocks me out . Stunning solos, and ensembles, and etc. etc.
BB3 trying to be sneaky and pull a lick on us....
Great arrangement!! Super dope.
Benny pulled a few "liccs" on us during that solo! Quoting like a million tunes 😜
The intro groove is so nice. It bops hard, good work!
Thanks David!
Nica’s Day Dream ⛅️
The voicings are divine haha, definitely learned a lot from you and Charlie the other day on Zoom! Thanks for hosting that with him!
Thanks so much man!! Yes, that was super fun!! Can't wait to do it again soon.
Steven solo is clean
mr bennacki got the sneaky licc in with style too
This arrangement brings such a freshness and life to this great tune! The solos are amazing! Love it!!
I have always been a big band fan. My Husband (Jack Laubach-trumpet) worked with them all plus many movies etc. I was a vocalist. You got it Steven. Keep writing. I love hearing the youth of today play.
Great performance of a Horace Silver composition
This is my first hearing of a Horace Silver composition played by a big band.
Ridiculously good!
Killer chart man! It's awesome that I was one of the first to hear this on zoom the other day!
Thanks so much, Charlie! Really enjoyed virtually meeting you and looking forward to hearing your writing! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Great writing plus Benny Benack plays his ass off on this one !!! ... what a band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What’s up Steven this is me again, Professor Dr. Matthew J. Ford from Instagram. This was amazing man, you’re amazing and so as you band😆🤘🏽
Just discover... GREAT ! Big applause !! Stan
thanks so much, Stan! We've got more coming your way, stick around!
@@StevenFeifke I have a big band here in France Too. Some teasers & tunes on my channel. I have a pedagogic blog too (I'm a jazz writing teacher) And may be we can do a little revue on your works...? You all write yourself ?
absolutely killing!! so excited to see the full version after the hanginar on wednesday. can't wait for the album!
thanks David! Ya, the ASMAC hanginar was fun! I'll be doing another one on April 28 and I'll be going a bit more in depth into some of these scores 🤓
@@StevenFeifke i’ll put it on my calendar!
Love the bass lines you come up with.

Beautifoul music, forever.👋👋👋👋🙋🇧🇷🇱🇷👍
YEAH!! Beautiful arrangement - these videos never cease to amaze me.
Thanks so much! We have a LOT more on the way!
Nice touch to refer to the sax section as the reeds
on several other songs on the album they play flutes/clarinets etc hence the "reeds" name!
@@StevenFeifke Cool, and yea that’s why I like “reeds,” the “not just sax” section :-)
Incredible as always! Great to hear this arrangement built on from your septet.
thank you, Jackson! Yes this is built out from the septet arrangement. And, I featured Benny and Jimmy just like I did on "Peace In Time!"
I can’t wait for another album from you with all the music you’ve been recording/writing!! As always you never cease to impress
thanks, James! Full album is out on April 9th but there will be some goodies in between now and then of course 😜
Good arrangement!!
Nice solo.
Beautiful bud! So good to see everyone in this vid
Thanks so much maestro!
Assolutamente fantastico...... bravi, bravi, bravi, etc............
Insane. Can't wait for the album man, nice work!
thank you, Isaac!
Oooooooooooooooooo that’s so good
Beautiful mixing and balance is what stood out to me on the first listen. ❤️
thanks, Parker! Brian Montgomery mixed this and Dave Darlington did the master. I attribute that aspect of this all to them!
Incredible playing and sound - jimmy is deep in the pocket
Killin work, I think Horace Silver would’ve loved this
thank you so much! Horace Silver is one of my biggest influences -- I hope he would enjoy this too!
I can hear that in your solos. This sounds great!
So Cool!
Fantastic, creative arranging! Beautiful attention to details and every aspect of writing that makes a chart a success! Wow!
Awesome piece Steven! Great group of musicians that you assembled to play it as well!
Thanks, Rob! Yes, I certainly could not do this without the INCREDIBLE musicians in the band!
Wintz!
Impressive! Love the orchestrations, nice bopping tempo!
Thank you Eli!

This was wonderful! I apologize if I couldn’t find the name in the description but who’s the flutist?
Thank you! Her name is Alexa Tarantino
4:23 licc: spotted

The trumpet soloist is Benny Benack, not Gabriel King Medd as attributed above.
A copy and paste error! Thanks for the heads up, Abbott.
@@StevenFeifke You're welcome. Speaking as a native New Yorker living in London, it's amazing how many talented musicians have gathered in NY at the one time.
@@abbottkatz8830 the times before COVID! Wish we could all do this again soon.
@@StevenFeifke Yes. On the other hand, now musicians can collaborate with others anywhere in the world, both in and out of real time.
