- The WDR BIG Band performs the concert "Jackets XL" together with the Yellowjackets under the direction of Bob Mintzer during the Leverkusener Jazztage 2019. The Yellowjackets are Russel Ferrante (piano, Fender Rhodes), Bob Mintzer (tenor saxophone, EWI), Dane Alderson (bass) and Will Kennedy (drums). Produced for WDR Jazzline under the direction of Elmar Herkrath; edited by Peter Sommer and the manager of the WDR BIG BAND: Friederike Darius.
In November 2019, two internationally acclaimed bands met on stage at the Leverkusen Jazz Days. Chief conductor, bandleader and saxophonist Bob Mintzer came with his band, the Yellowjackets, and presented the quartet's music, which Mintzer arranged for the WDR Big Band. The result was the joint CD "Jackets XL", which was nominated for the prestigious GRAMMY music award exactly two years later.

WDR is one of the best big bands in the World. Top notch professionalism!
Thank you, Stefan!
I absolutely agree.
The best of the best
the best bands united
*November 2019* - So near and yet so far,
will it prove to have been the last November of humanity?
It’s just hard to beat the Yellowjackets for professionalism and creativity! Combine them with the WDR Big Band and you’ve got magic. The current lineup is one of the best in Yellowjacket history. Dean Alderson is the most melodic bass soloist they’ve ever had in my opinion. I’ve seen them live 3 times and they never disappoint. I was glad to see Will Kennedy rejoin the group: Best drummer in Yellowjackets history.
Jimmy have done a great work the sound and the feeling of YJ
The late great Ricky Lawson was great with YellowJackets, specially for the music played at that period.
Jimmy Hasplip will be forever the best YJ's bass player, you have to calm your excitation John. :-)
@@RogerBiwandu I’m not saying Ricky Lawson was a slouch; far from it. I saw him with the YJs on two occasions. I just prefer Will Kennedy was the drummer the first time I saw the YJs. I was very glad to see him return. As for Jimmy Haslip, he played a huge part in the formation of the YJ sound. It was, is Jimmy’s mechanical solos that I didn’t care for.. Even Felix Pastorius was a better soloist in my opinion. Dean Alderson, on the other hand, can maintain the same funky groove that Jimmy did, while delivering some scorching good bass solos. We all have our favorites; your’s are good and so are mine. Enjoy the music!
@@johnfuller8284 It's not about who's my favorite, my favorite musician on YJ is Russ by far, saying this I love all of them, but I like the respect of the history of a band, that's all.
And, I don't need a bass player being a "genius" at soloing, it's good if he is, but I really don't care, I want a bass player to play the bass as solid as possible, with good taste, feel and sound, cheers John.
This combination between The Jackets + WDR Big Band are amazing and Explosive..!!
Have a look at the cd release, carlos!
Thank you so much! This is fantastic! That's what I like the Yellowjackets for melodic and groovy and together with this great body of sound, of course, swingin'.

The GREAT Russell Ferrante, he's SO funky when he plays "Imperial Strut", his left hand keeping that bloody bass line while soloing with his right hand, awesome !!!
PS : not enough praise for him, he's the only one original member on stage, I mean come on, give some love to Russ please....

OMG!
Superb concert, I wasn't intending to watch it all but I got hooked in. I didn't know the current line up of the Yellowjackets but new names to me were Will Kennedy and Dane Alderson who are both world class players. Great playing obviously from Russell and Bob.
That is true, it is a great danger to get hooked in in, rocketpost1!
Audio and video are badly out of sync on the song “Dewey.” Otherwise, FANTASTIC!
Thank you, we have to fix it, BigDogSteveNami!
Will Kennedy is just an incredible player. Could it sound anything less than amazing with him playing underneath you?
Sem comentarios Big Band das estrelas!!!
🙏🙏🙏 Maurício!
@@WDRBIGBAND bautiful maravilha
Vcs sao de outro planeta!! Feras!!
Back in the 80s the musician's union had a contact book with all the musician's contacts... lol duh. Anyway, I was a young musician and one of my favorite artists were YellowJackets. Charles Brown the musician who wrote and sang "Merry Christmas Baby" was teaching me to play piano along with Dorothy Donegan. After one of my lesson I was talking to Dorothy she was about to throw a box full of old sheet music. I asked her if I could have it and she gave it to me. Inside the box was an old musicians union contact book. I looked up Russell Ferrante's number and gave him a call. He answered and spoke to me kindly and invited me to the studio in SilverLake. I met him at his house in the hills of SilverLake and the one thing I really remember was his very fluffy cat was sleeping on the stove lol. I love cats and was saying, "oh no that guy could catch on fire". Anyway I met Ricky Lawson and Jimmy at the studio and watch them play for a short time then I had to leave. I love these guys and their amazing music. Good music is oxygen
Hello Johnny! What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it!
man that piccolo really stands out!
🙏 Jason!

Bravo! Just one technical thing: Dewey is out of sync! This said, Top musiciens and sound guys! Thanks.
Thank you for the hint, we are working on it, Bernard!
do I hear a sneaky mario kart lick variation from 4:24 - 4:29 :D
Das Bild ist aber auch manchmal zwei Sekunden zu spät :-(
Es ist in der Mitte bei Dewey asynchron, - wir müssen wohl noch mal ran: ) Danke für den Hinweis!
After 40 years Mintzer looks a lot better than Keith Richards!
No he didn’t
Der Ton ist nicht synchron zum Bild, wer hat das verbrochen...? Peinlich....
Hi Ralph, Fehler passieren im Leben. Fraglich, was an Fehlern peinlich ist. Danke für den Hinweis!
Greta concert. But some parts are out of sync
That is true, we must fix it, kostasax!
Great show ... but this electronic thing is as annoying to hear as it is offensive
Without this annoying and offensive electronic thing , this would have been epic
It's still worth it , but a large part is annoying ... it could have been epic
Yep forget the electric thing!!!!!!👎
