The whole band is shufflin' their asses off! That's a compliment, BTW. This chart and performance is further proof that this bone section (Mattis and the bass player are masterfully holding down the foundation as always) is one of my favorite on the planet...and there are obviously killer players in every chair in the band! Always love MPM's charts.
Outstanding in every way ... arrangement , swinging rhythm section , ensemble playing , solos , recording ..the whole nine yards ... corona may have shut the world down but you guys and gals made it a little more bearable ... thanks from Washington DC
Tolles Mossman Arrangement, Top WDR Big Band, Super Soli. In diesen konzertlosen Zeiten freut es einen besonders mit Musik aus dem Archiv versorgt zu werden. Bitte mehr davon und vielen herzlichen Dank dafür.
First time I heard Mr. Mossman he was THE trumpet player and music director of a group of young lions (at that time - 80s) and he was something else, playing along the likes of Ralph Bowen, Henry Pickens, the always loud Ralph Peterson, Robert Hurst and the great Kenny Garrett. It is such a pleasure to watch Mr. Mossman directing this fabulous, fabulous, fabulous WDR Big Ban Orchestra! Thank You! PS. I miss the splendid playing of Ms. Barnet!
Goldsby and Dekker are my heroes: a great rhytm section, the perfect spine for every session, beyond the styles...so cool, so solid, so balanced...nothing impossible to these super musicians
GENAU, vier unterschiedliche Posaunen in der Spielanlage, aber in sich geschlossen; und dann noch ein Danke-Arrangement von einem Trompeter, an die Tb-Tiefblech-Satzgruppe, die meist an Tp-Hörschäden laboriert...
