Miss Fygi really swings. Big band jazz will never die when it's played like this. Just wish the ending had been a bit more explosive...Jim, Columbus, OH
Listen to the breaks, they are sharp and right on the beat...Laura is the babe no doubt! She has to be the most under appreciated vocalist on the planet which is sad because she has a real gift for giving these tunes new life.
I have 2 questions: Is the pianist reading the solos and is the sax player doing the same? And did the band ever play this tune in rehearsal? Love the bongo player BTW! He realizes the tune is on autopilot and is smoking!
@FoxyFleets Yea, but they know how to swing..... Tell me, how can a band of this size play a tune like this right out of the box without some serious clams? hear the breaks?
Hear the CLEAN breaks with th bongos? These guys and gals are REALLY good......
Never heard a "cherman" band really swing, but this one does and in a very big way.
@loocee95 They are indeed very good, but I doubt that they are sightreading. Note sheets tend to draw musicians attention even though they might have played it and know it. One of the worlds most renowned arrangers, Vince Mendoza, performs frequently with german big bands, so that germans don't know how to swing can't really be true..
I play that tune (piano) with a fairly famous big band and let me tell you something, this band smokes!!!!!!!!
They appear to be sight reading the tune, although it's a familiar one, and the piano and drums are great despite other comments. One of the best IMHO...
it was dutch, she said that it was a wonderfull evenening and she said in dutch that she was "almost like feeling in love", and then she started to sing the song
Spectacular !!! Way to go Laura. Any plans for a Wash DC concert in the future?

The soloists are probably just reading the chord changes.

A German band that can really swing and groove. How refreshing!

There's a slight difference between German and Dutch, although "German" in Dutch is pronounced "Duits".
This band is Dutch. Still, German Big Bands can swing.

does anyone know who did this particular arrangement because its different than the original Nat King Cole arrangement.

At 1:44, the horns quote from the old 10 CC song "I'm Not In Love". Brilliant irony! I love it!

Looks like the band is sight reading this....nice job!
AroundCerritos 2 years ago 7
@AroundCerritos I got some emails from a couple of band members and YES they are sight reading this one.
I play a similar arrangement (Nestico) with a big band (piano) and this is not an easy arrangement to "fake".
As for Germans/Dutch not being able to swing....Stereotype.....
Now some of the Japanese stuff, I will agree.
Sounds like little machines to me.
Every note has a time and every time has a note.
This band however SMOKES....it really does...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was Nat King Cole who originally sang this song.
