WOODY HERMAN -From England 1964

WOODY HERMAN

mm426. Thats the tempo of this Woody Herman flag waver. Outrageous. They have a memorial statue somewhere for bass player Chuck Andrus who, at the end of this crazy tune had the nerve to take a solo. Soloists abound but of particular note is Sal Nistico, the second tenor player heard. That guy was from another planet.

So here from England, is Woody’s 1964

Woody Herman (cl, voc), Tommy Anastas (bars), Gary Klein, Sal Nistico, Joe Romano (ts), Bill Chase, Paul Fontaine, Billy Hunt, Danny Nolan, Gerald Lamy (t), Henry Southall, Phil Wilson, Kenny Wenzel (tb), Nat Pierce (p), Chuck Andrus (b), Jake Hanna (d). England, 1964. 426 beats per minute.
