It truly is. I still maintain that people who haven't heard/didn't get to hear a real live REAL Big Band have no idea of how much physical impact the sheer sound of it would make. It could pin you on your ass and not let you back up.

 

And without making your ears bleed.  I heard the Herman band with Jake Hanna on  drums in a club in Montreal and it was as you describe. I once danced right in front of the stage to a local band called Manteca at the El Mo in Toronto and thought they might blow me off the floor but without hurting my ears.  Whereas for some reason when rock bands are too loud I need ear plugs but they still don't give me that lift.

IMHO the very best VSOP until then. This one was a "must have" among the jazz freaks in my high school class (I think it was shortly before the "bac" in 1978 and one guy had it and we all came together to listen to it and make cassette tapes....

Just fantastic, and that incredible live version of "Red Clay", also a favourite album / composition among us youngsters...

Charlie Mingus - Blues & Roots | Releases | Discogs

oh yeah ! 

This was, after my first Mingus album (3-LP Set Paris 1964) the second Mingus album I had. I remember after hearing the complete Paris Concert and declaring that I´ll be a Mingus fan (I was so much impressed by that music), my mother made me a surprise and bought me that "Blues & Roots" which I still like very much. I could write so much about Mingus......who was a main inspiration for me to understand the music at an early age. He was practically "my point of departure" for a live long journey....
