What a band! What a beautiful use of dynamics in tandem. Special congrats to Messers. Evans and Akinmusire. It is always a bonus to hear the WDR, even at 5 in the morning after a sleepless evening!
Once in a great while, it all just comes together at the same time. This was one of those times.
and to top it all off, Orrin is wearing some of the coolest frames I've ever seen
This is what I'm talkin' 'bout!! Fantastic playing all around. Ambrose sounding fatter than a flugelhorn, and beautiful! The arrangement is exciting and interesting. Not at all cliched. And with this tune, coming up with something new definitely showcases superb skills by Orrin Evans. Glad you shared this!!
Yes, as smooth as a flugelhorn on the trumpet...very cool.
"VERY nice and well done. Being a trap drummer..Absolute control is key in high performance Excellents 😎.
Thanks wdr for sharing your so talented staff with us an the whole world 🌎👍👏JM
Hi James! Thank you for following us!!!
Ambrose= world's darkest trumpet sound and not on heavy equipment. There's your proof that's it's all in the approach and mental conception.
I agree with you for the most part, but he does play a medium bore committee and a Monette B2, which is one of the darkest sounding horn+mouthpiece combos out there, and one that has a feel, especially in how it slots, which I think has influenced his approach. He'd sound like himself on any horn, but his equipment does play a significant role in his sound and approach.
horn has nothing to do with my approach. AT ALL !!!!
Whoa now. Ok random person with a recently created youtube channel named after a famous and famously gracious trumpet player. I guess you win that discussion.
Jonathan Roberts this account looks pretty legit, he published some of his new work recently.
@@ambroseakinmusire5625 you are the approach!!!! Such an inspiration to all of us.
This just makes me all kinds of happy.
Great! That´s the way it should run!
A brilliant version which is the perfect combination of the virtuoso composer, arranger and performer, Orrin Evans, the incomparable WDR big band and the outstanding Ambrose Akiinmusire. Hopefully they will record an album one day

Hi Cathy! Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately there are no plans about producing an album at the moment!
Touches me tremendously, in particular the arrangement with piano parts!
shortest day of the year ?? to hell with that. You blew it away.I'm uplifted, gee thanks
👍👍👍
Your gentle sounds make our mind calm.
Hi Tsukumo! So does music work, - hopefully!
Nice arrangement Mr. Evans and fluid horn solo Mr. Akinmusire...great band!

Ragazzi siete troppo forti mi piacerebbe vedervi dal vivo in Italia magari. La mia orchestra preferita
Perché non ti piace venire in Germania, Tino?
Thank you All 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Hi TenSopSaxop! Thanx!
This soul elevating nirvana!!!
Hi Ozier, it seems to be so...thanx for watching!
Piękny utwór na koniec dnia
Fabulous...
Orrin, I would love for my college big band to have at go with your beautiful arrangement. Esp. with the 50th anniversary of MLK departing the planet coming up next year, I can't think of a more fitting tribute.

Tasty!
Is there a recording of the concert this rehearsal was for?
Was the concert filmed, or any of the programme going to be recorded? I'd love to get my hands on more of this
Hi Jamie, the concert was not filmed and unfortunately we have no release date for a CD yet.
Was an album recorded?
Hi Skyler, unfortunately we have no release date for a CD yet.
My favourite Big Band - but where can I get their videos?
hello hommefriday, you can order some recordings of our television broadcasts "WDR Jazzline" here: www1.wdr.de/unternehmen/der-wdr/serviceangebot/services/mitschnittservice102.html
Oh, John Coltrain!!!
Hi nutscracker! Nooooo, Ambrose is playing the trumpet:)
Fuuuuuuuuuuu
I swear I’m just following you around youtube 😂 love your work man.
Would have been nice to hear Ambrose more off the top in the arrangement. Beautiful sounds, just seems a little pointless having him sit there for five and a half minutes.
Hi Andrew, thanks for your comment. This title features not only Ambrose, but especially Orrin Evans, Johan Hörlén and Ruud Breuls as well. Do you know "Vartha", composed by Ambrose and arranged by Orrin Evans: czcams.com/video/oHIlfMl3Bkg/video.html.
meh
Wdr Big Band = the best big band of the world. But Ambrose Akinmusire is the worst player at playing with big band.
Thank you very much for your comment. What´s wrong with Ambrose playing with a big band?
ambrose akinmusire you sound damn fine to my ears brother!
one of my heroes!!!! You sound so fantastic as always.
"So many things you could say" but none of them do you need to say. We live the truth. See you soon brother!
Hear, hear!
