I just found this report about the rehearsal now. Wow, what a band! All of them serious artists, I'm so grateful to be able to enjoy this. If any of those musicians read that: Thank you very much, you just made my life a bit happier!
Brilliant and the arrangements are world class while "fresh" but respecting the original tune and the bebop spirit of Dizzy Gillespie! Thank you for sharing this beautiful footage!
You know what's the secret of sounding so damn good ? pay attention at 8:45 : the guy has a fruit salad, but he did not eat it. Could not find the time. Was playing. If you want to play that good, skip the food and focus on the work ! :-)
