Mark Lettieri & WDR BIG BAND - The Rhythm Side Of Things | Full Concert

The WDR BIG BAND performs the concert program "The Rhythm Side Of Things" together with Mark Lettieri on guitar, Billy Test on B3 and Rhodes, Wes Stephenson on electric bass, Daniel Porter on keyboards and Jason "JT" Thomas on drums. Lettieri has found the perfect algorithm for funk: He fuses the influences of rhythm and rock guitar icons from the 70s and 80s. Now, for the first time, the guitar virtuoso meets the WDR Big Band under the direction of bandleader Jörg Achim Keller. The arrangements are by Mike Abene. Recorded live in Cologne's Stadtgarten (January 2024). 00:00:00 Extraspecial 00:07:06 Goonsquad 00:15:14 Tidal Tail 00:21:01 Knows 00:29:39 Seuss Pants 00:38:10 Spark and Echo 00:45:28 Slide Rule 00:56:09 Naptime 01:03:12 Star Catchers 01:11:31 Gigantactics 01:18:17 Architeuthis WDR BIG BAND: Johan Hörlén - alto saxophone Martin Gasser - alto saxophone Ben Fitzpatrick - tenor saxophone Paul Heller - tenor saxophone Jens Neufang - baritone saxophone Ludwig Nuss - trombone Raphael Klemm - trombone Andy Hunter - trombone Mattis Cederberg - bass trombone Andy Haderer - trumpet Wim Both - trumpet Rob Bruynen - trumpet Ruud Breuls - trumpet Billy Test - b3, rhodes Mark Lettieri - guitar Wes Stephenson - electric bass Daniel Porter - keyboards Jason "JT" Thomas - drums Jörg Achim Keller - Conductor Michael Abene - Arrangements Arnd Richter - Manager WDR BIG BAND Christian Schmitt - Tonmeister / Recording Producer Walter Platte - Sound Engineer Raimund Wunderlich - Sound engineer
