Oh my god... this was my favorite program!... airing in the late hours of Sunday night... actually Monday morning, if I recall... so glad someone archived them... we need a program like this today... telvision is such a wasteland these days
I’ll say it again: NRBQ with Terry, Al, Joey and the wonderful Tom Ardolino were the best. And it’s great seeing and hearing Phil Woods, who was arguably the best alto sax jazz player ever. I especially like his giving credit to Benny Carter as opposed to the usual Bird accolades. I saw Woods and his band in the ‘80s playing at the Flight Deck in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. Mitch Forman was on piano that night. And of course anyone with any semblance of an ear knows that this version of “Willow Weep for Me” incorporates the Miles Davis song “All Blues.” And that 1967 clip of Son House singing and playing “Death Letter” is incredible.

@@johnhassan9085 I might have gotten a wee bit carried away. I reworded my comment a tad. But in some respects Woods might have been the best when you consider his range of work.
I was playing with Tom Staley Nrbq's drummer and Bobby Herzog " Come on Come Over". We were putting a different version of Nrbq back together in 1979.
Abby Lincoln, how wonderful! What a great show, so eclectic.

Charlie Parker, Johnny Hodges, Paul Desmond, and Benny Carter played alto as well. Just saying.
