Forget originals - this sounds pretty good. ‘Two Trumpets’ and ‘Young Bloods’. Some of those Prestige two-fers sound pretty good. Some even use the original RVG mastering.

The liner notes state that there is a second volume from the concert. Your LP has very long playing time per side, so I assume they just put it all in one volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I´m not the greatest fan of Woody Herman since it never did thrill me the way the contemporanious Billy Eckstine Big Band or Dizzy Gillespie Big Band did, I would like to hear some from this, it has some famous players and I think Sonny Berman was mentioned in Ira Gitler´s book "Jazz Masters of the 40´s ". I also heard some of that "Bird with the Herd" which is fun, but for my tastes it´s a bit too tough and straight big band sound, very very well played but something I hear in the two mentioned big bands that I could associate with Bird, is missing or not fitting to Birds melodical and rhythmical concepts....., far from racial, but maybe african american musicians from that generation would have said it sounds "white"... I saw Woody Herman twice, one in 1979 where the played some Chick Corea compositions, and an all star small group 6 or 7 years later. I enjoyed both of them.

We had the Woody Herman big band with a private guest concert in our jazzclub in Koblenz, Germany in the late 1970ies.

All I remember now is that it was a band of young white guys with the exception of none other than Walter Bishop Jr on piano! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon King Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 One of those days. The blues are in order. so I'm listening to Mr. Witherspoon: Jimmy Witherspoon sings the blues, Black and Blue, July '79 (France) PS: Due to a lack of tech savvy, I'm blue trying to illustrate this post. please reply w how to for my limited set-up. A bajillion thanks. Set-up: in this post, I tried to screenshot album, front & back, and then transfer SOMEHOW FROM IPHONE to this forum on my LAPTOP. I know it's pathetically unhip. It's also the reason I have so much free time. BTW; I tried Apple Music (on my IPhone) and AllMusic for art, but this album is as nonexistent as the golden fleece. jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That label generally defaults to 10 for me, and Spoon generally does too. Don't think I know this one, actually, but with that lineup (Moody!!!), hey, hard to imagine it being anything else.

Jon King Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 One track was killer. I noticed JW was singing on pitch, in register to the sax (Jacquet) who was playing the lyric at the same time note for note. Not your everyday blues singer that was. So, I think if you can give the album a spin, it’s time well spent. Also, JW sings Good Rockin’ Tonight in a subtler manner than those other rockers, and they might have benefited by studying his phrasing closely. This album will be a go -to blueser down the line for me. Newly acquired 2 weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
