Everyone with even a passing interest in big bands needs to get this incredible DVD . Woody Herman's ridiculously smoking hot 1964 Herd Live in England. All the ususal suspects here, the great Bill Chase, Phil Wilson, Sal Nistico, the incredible bassist Chuck Andrus, and drummer Jake Hanna. Make no mistake --- NO band , and I mean NO Band , not Maynard's, not Counts, not Duke's, not anyone's, could TOUCH
this fantastic band around this time. Section work is absolutely tight beyond belief. And Woody looks to be having a ball, and also was playing great. Really, you need to do yourself a favor, get this , turn it way
up , and experience , for my money, the most unbelievable big band ever. If you have never heard this band before, I feel sorry for you. I tested this on someone who had never seen or heard the band , and he is just now recovering --- his jaw was squarely on the floor the entire time. In a word --- WOW---------------------------
