Perpetuum Jazzile feat. jazz trio - Baroque Samba (live, HQ)

[PeterPantzkie]

0:00 - 1:05 and

5:08 - 6:14 ...this is brilliant music !

in my opinion the drummer isn´t necesary ....

[Manotorras]

Porquê tanta brasileirice quando são bem mais maravilhosos noutros sons?

[bRaKK0]

holy shit, it's almost better than the original!!! XD

[PiggyKlinsmen]

beautiful

[funkmaster0411]

great job. this is a really hard New York Voices chart. with this many people it would be next to impossible. awesome work.

[intlprofs]

I'd love yet another version, running q wee bit closer to classical music gravitas, as this is a mere step away from unsurpassable.

It can also be a jazz/classical version? -- just an impassioned , idle thought

[GMPoseidon]

My marching band is playing this for our closing song.

[LadyMcSuperwomen]

nino is like a little clown here

[TheBaronessIsAwesome]

I want to marry Nino.

[lilibus255]

i think he is over rated ... she perfomed a fantastic improvisation

[skeeterart]

The tenors are not nearly as strong as they need to be. They often have the most important note of the chord in parts of the song, and I can barely here them!

[FriPilot]

Have a listen to PJ's version of "Killing Me Softly". It's a Gene Puerling arrangement. If you don't know who Gene is, don't feel bad. Neither did I until his name came up and I did a little research. You've heard his work before!

Sadly, Gene passed away in '08.

[riiileyy]

Yes, this is kind of difficult to learn but sounds great. My jazz choir is learning it now

[NikEmmer]

Oh em eff gee. You guys have NO idea how hard this song is to learn and perform. My jazz choir worked our asses off on a similar arrangement for about 7 months, and we still got slaughtered and went horribly out of tune about 50% of the time we performed it. Man and I thought I was pretty good.... A well earned kudos to everyone in this group. ( Also, yes Im pretty sure there is a New York Voices arrangement of this song)

[simplikmplktd]

BRAVO !!!!!!!!!

[soupy264]

A fantastic group. hope they come to a city near me in the US. This arrangement sounds Very reminiscent of The New York Voices

[jbones61]

Thank you so much. To change from one language to another is a tribute to all of the singers and their director. When you come back to the USA, I promise that I and my Grand Children will be there. Waiting for the new albums (CD/DVD'S) to arrive here in Houston, TX USA

Your fan in Houston, Texas

[maxzewi]

Reminiscent of the Double Six of Paris or the Swingle Singers. However FANTASIC in their own right. Makes me wish that I could sing.

[bemolius]

just graet

[tbrad57]

You CAN say dottiekirby. And we agree 100%

[mimiller8]

and Barbara and Nino are great in this together.

[mimiller8]

FUN!!! usually Thomaz does his own piano work, but this one has such a difficult piano part and a difficult choir part that he has to control both. It's good to not always do just the voices sometimes. This works wonderfully. Thank you always Thomaz.

[dottiekirby]

Can I say how much I love PJ!

[s5850]

Alyciac 123: saj piše, da je Nino Kozlevčar

[Maakveli]

Great! Pozdrav is Slovenije :D

[Alyciac123]

Zdravo! Tko je momak sa zlatnim ovratnikom na 3:25? Moram znati njegovo ime!

Hello! Who is the guy with the golden collar on 3:25? I need to know his name!

-x-Alycia-x-

[dusanradovanov]

Nino

[svesex69]

Izredno! Upam da boste nadaljevali s trdim delom na poti proti Afriki in Brazilu :-)

Pozdrav iz Hrvaške

Fantastic !

[QuiresPan]

Simply - outstanding ! ! ! ! !

[tubedonu]

I'm from Brazil and I think it sounded great. I love all their pieces. If they're this good on video, I can't imagine how the group sounds "ao vivo".

BTW, the keyboard was awesome, and so the drummer and the bass guitar.

[MiramichierA1]

I think true music lovers find excellence in all genres. The late Canadian novelist, W O Mitchell, said the arts are how we know we are not alone. The Perpetuum Jazzile artists are bringing millions of us together, aren't they? The talent, the hard work, the discipline makes it seem so easy!

[claudiogoldman]

Muito bom ! Vocês são ótimos ! :-)

Thanks from Brazil !

[GiselleMartine]

Incredible! I am a brazilian singer that is living in Sweden about 7 years. I have performed in some countries already and beside some great artists in Brazil. What I see here is a great swing! Samba in great stile! Thanks för that!

Giselle Martine

[NANS222]

Great jazz - in any language!

[Skeeven]

It's actually Samba, a brazillian music style. But it does have similarities with jazz. =)

[alkibossa]

What an amazing group! Everything is so tight and it is difficult for a group this large to sound so disciplined. By the way....who is on keyboards?...the solo is over the top!

bossa2nova

[Anzljc]

Our great jazz pianist, Blaž Jurjevčič.

[tallkkmoore]

I have to admit it was "Africa" that drew me in...Actually I was sent an email with a link to the video...but it's their amazing sound that has kept me searching for more and more of their videos.

[uni126corn]

I so agree with you - I am hooked myself. Found them through NPR and am wowed!

[dizyart]

Baaaaah, heard it a thousand times, still soooo good.. The whole choir is so in time with the band, and with so complex rhythmic figures.. Almost impossible! Go figure...

[ashoka3]

I don't understand how this song can only have 3000 views and Africa over 1 000 000! This is much more interesting music.

The male solo singer is more pop than samba though, never finds the rythm in the solo.

But I think he does great in other clips here.

[tacticaldriver]

That's the frustration of jazz musicians. Only 3% of all music buyers purchase within the diverse genre called jazz which already includes all other misclassified music. The more technical the music, the smaller the audience. Jazz has no mass appeal, sadly. Intellectuals need only apply.

[ashoka3]

And this was even just 0.3%...

Good points, I think that this shows that music can never only be a matter of commercialism.

One pragmatic approach is to mix it up. I hope this gem of a choir not only goes pop-cover in some american AMAZING!,COOL!,etc...-hype but keep their identity as well.

I think one secret of their success is that they do the pop-covers without any cliches, they take them seriously. This wakes people up to the fact that it is actually very good music :-)

[NANS222]

And only 2% of music lovers love jazz to begin with ... I'm one who is thankful to hear this group - true genius!

[grafx5]

Honestly, I'm generally a much bigger fan of jazz than pop, but I do like their rendition of Africa better. While this was good as a general jazz piece, I think PJ lost a lot of its flair by singing with the trio.

I think PJ's strength is in tightly executed, original and complex arrangements. However singing with the trio means they have to simplify their stuff considerably.

[intlprofs]

@ashoka3

Yes, its interesting in the deepest sense of the word.

[Iluj93]

@ashoka3

I don't agree.The rhythm of jazz is complicated and sometimes it sounds strange, so he sang well.

[mechwarreir2]

@Iluj93 this IS jazz rhythm. Don't you hear the syncopation? Well, the jazz part starts later on in the song but yeah there is jazz in the song.

[frekvenca]

Še ena ideja: pomoje bi super nrdil priredbo Levjega kralja. Sem ravno gledala en clip od neke ameriške A capella skupine in so nrdili Circle of life pa sem se takoj spomnila kok bi moglo super zvenet

[frekvenca]

jaz bi pa podala eno pripombo.

Super ste, res, ampak meni se zdi zares dolgočasno in malo izrabljeno, da vse moške solo vložke poje Nino Kozlevčar. Saj res lepo poje in vse ampak samo zato ker je dirigentov sin se res ne rabi tako ven metat. V zboru ni edini moški, gotovo imajo tudi ostali lep glas (zakaj bi sicer bili v zboru?).

Malo razmislite o tem, ker se mi zdi da bi bili tako bolj raznoliki.

Pa brez zamere, še vedno se mi zdite super :)

[mwhdvm]

Phenomenal!

[GeoffFlint]

Now that I've thought about it some, these guys must be an intensely close knit group, even though there's quite a few of them. I can't imagine how many hours they've practiced together.

[GHRiz]

It is truly impossible to overstate just how incredibly amazing this performance is. Soooo tight. Brilliant composition, amazing arrangement, superb solos, just mind bogglingly good. If Africa hadn't already made the decision for me to buy the DVD when it's released, this would have done it.

[pipperoooo]

Okay I want a CD right now. lol

[kahuken]

Can't stop listening to these folks! Outstanding!!!

[FlowersInHisHair]

Love those harmonies!

[Malojacquemet]

Magnifique

[Brazilady]

Baroque Samba and a bit of Bossa Nova which is a Brazilian jazzzz, all that jazzzzz!

Barbaro!

[dizyart]

Uaaaaaaaaaa, chills on my skin!

[Logicielle]

Je suis renversée!

[yesdedhed]

great
