WOODY HERMAN



WOODY HERMAN
Featuring Bill Chase

Somewhere


Dan Schmidt reminded me of yesterday being Bill Chase’s birthday.  As often as I saw Woody in those days, one thing stood out. The first time I thought he was just late, but after a while if became evident to everyone that Chase’s late arrival on stage was a planned occurrence. He was always the last person on the stand. After all he was the lead trumpet player and the STAR. It almost became comical.
