Rare Footive of a Great Band and Song..Got to hear it Live in 1978 while attending Auburn University..Woody Herman and the Thundering Herd played a Free Concert!! Thx for the Post!!!
I knew Tpt. players Bill Stapleton and Joe Rodrigues at N. Texas...they were brilliant as kids....it's amazing how all jazz styles peaked by the mid-1970's....how come we haven't a single new style or original mind since Miles, Coltrane or Jarrett or the 1970's rebirth of big bands? Guess Wynton Marsalis helped develop a generation of "Young Fogies"...
In my mind Light My Fire album was the beginning of the greatest stuff Woody ever did. This piece was from the Giant Steps album several years later. Woody was around for a long time and survived in the '60 and '70 by combining some of the rock sounds. Jazz/Rock several levels above Chicago and BST. He saved the best for last!
The mid to late 70's were a special time for big band jazz. I am glad I lived during that time and can remember seeing the bands live.
