This is great! Whose arrangement?

[trabanul]

jltbone: it's Rob's arrangement.

[ardillita4567]

alguien me podria confirmar si esta melodia se encuentra en el disco big band jazz.

[trabanul]

Este tema esta en: "So Very Rob: Boss Brass Revisited" y en "Big Band Jazz, Vol. 1".

Uno fue grabado en USA (Big Band Jazz) y el otro en Alemania (si no me equivoco). Ninguna de las dos es la version que ves en este video.

Busca mas en Google asi obtenes mas informacion si queres.

Wonderful!! Thanks Trabanul for placing clips of Boss Brass on Youtube!! What special memories of attending their concerts. I first saw them at the Savarin on Bay Street in 1969. Thanks again!!

Markeygirl, thanks for your nice words. I wish there were more Boss Brass video clips. They are extremely rare.

just for the sake of history and context, as a fan i gotta add this - Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass tore,m up at the MJF 1981 - to borrow from the words of Diz. In this clip - Ian's solo at 2:31 -2:45 hits one of those rarest harmonic combos that make you realize that this is the best it'll ever get. fan TAStico. Played this one so many times I started to wonder if it is possible to wear a CD out like it happens when you play a vinly record too much... right on, all of'em, 2 kewl.

This has always been my favourite arrangement of Rob's. Absulutely brilliant! Terrific brass, solos, etc, and the numerous changes of keys - stunning!! Just how do these guys read those charts?? Every member a giant.

There will never be a big band to rival the Boss Brass - never.

Miss you terribly Rob

para todos los que disfrutamos la extraordinaria mùsica de Rob siempre lo extrañaremos porque en la actualidad difìcilmente encontraremos alguna big band como la de Rob, gracias por las memorias.

This video is a great tribute to Rob McConnell ... R.I.P. :(

[roodeey]

Gonna miss him, first time I met him in a restaurant just out of nowhere I just randomly mentioned Elwood Glover's Luncheon Date - like nobody knows or remembers that show - well turns out Rob was in the house band, he had great stories and a great spirit. Hope he's up there jammin' with Miles and Coltrane.

R.I. P Rob ... age 75. Toronto. So sad ...

[cahilldrummer]

RIP Rob.

I don't think it was 1981, are you sure. Seems to me Howard had Concerts around 1971

Rest in Peace Rob. d. May 1,2010.
