Beasley therefor won a Grammy for Best Arrangement (Scrapple From The Apple). A great honour in 2011, when it was the first German band ever suggested for the “Prêmio da Música Brasileira”, Brazil’s most important music award with "Bossarenova" with Paula Morelenbaum and Filo Machado. Since 2018 Swedish composer/arranger/woodwind player Magnus Lindgren is Artist in Residence and refining the sound of the band, including projects with Nils Landgren & Jan Lundgren, Martin Tingvall, Hugo Candelario and more. SWR Big Band worked with Quincy Jones, George Benson, Chris Potter, Pat Metheny, Joe Lovano, Paul Carrack, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Tia Fuller, Jacob Collier, Ivan Lins, Max Mutzke, Maria Schneider, Zaz or Sammy Nestico.
@@SWRBigBand This is one of the very few tv series of the great 1970th with sound called music. Pat Williams was a great composer and even for those who are not that much interested into crime stories the music itself is worth just to listen to and to enjoy the large sound of that fancy big band.
This is how you're supposed to play the jazz music kids. Lol. At least, this is how I was taught to play it in a good jazz ensemble when I was growing up. 👍
Es war ein mega gutes Konzert, ich war live dabei in der Liederhalle. Ich würde auf jeden Fall zu jeder der drei Sängerinnen zu einem Konzert gehen. Die Big Band diesmal mit Streichern war auch wieder einfach super gut. Es ist leider immer zu schnell vorbei!
