Oh, I just came upon this while looking for a few certain Hefti pieces. I like this performance and appreciate you all for taking this at his original tempo and in the spirit and feel. Neal was a dear friend of mine and I think he would be pleased with this performance. Thank you for keeping his music alive. He spoke often of "economics" in the creating of music. Some critics said his music was too "simple," but what they did not understand was the art of his style and how he could make a six-piece group sound like a 24 piece orchestra! Well done, band!
Na "Konzervu" tedy všechna čest! Ten sound docela drží pohromadě. Jinak tahle skladba zní naprosto úžasně, je-li hrána zásadně rychleji (na rozdíl od originálního aranžmá - já vím). Destr
Freunde, hört euch bitte das Original von Basie an.. Ihr seid viel zu langsam. Außerdem fehlen die Dämpfer... (PS. Das Original gibt es auch hier auf RU-vid !)
Great job…. Wed to hear the guitar, like the Basie number….also…..please get an upright bass. Playing slow is more challenging than fast, like Dinner with Friends. Intonation has to be spot on. Oh…..please mute the trumpet solo.
