Legitimizing the role of big band music in society. The band and Mel Lewis completely understated in their role. They act as if they didn't just change reality.
The band is absolutely on fire on this - even despite the issues they were experiencing with the sound on stage. Brilliant! Long live the legacy of the great Mel Lewis!
Thank you for posting this, Matthias! I wonder if it's possible to post the entire concert instead of only individual pieces. Mel Lewis forever the GOAT! Cheers!
Hi drummaman1 when I uploaded these clips a long time ago, large files were not yet allowed on RUclips, let's see if i can correct this, first I have to find the VHS tapes....best Mat
Idk what's up with Dick's neck, bc i've watched a lot of performances of him playing and i've never seen him pull a Dizzy Gillespie with his neck like that before.
