Bob Sands Big Band · Groovin' Hard

[@domenicodd]

I had the good fortune to work with Bob Sands in the Glenn Miller Orchestra years ago; the guy is a BAD ASS! Forget the video quality; listen to the cats play..... These cats are swingin'........especially Bob....... Excellent!

[@farmsm]

So cool to find this! I met Bob back in high school on Long Island and he was terrific back then (I think he was 16 when I met him). So much better than I could have thought! Awesome band; such musicianship!

[@itshann]

amazing band, amazing sax solo, everything amazing rhythm section v. good also

[@sbluetruck]

i just played it with a group and freakin loved playing that sax soli!!!!!

[@FeralKobold]

that is one HELL of a way to use what appears to be the end of a plunger-awsome trumbone is awsome.

[@CliveNDerek]

That was the late Norman Hogue, playing that awesome trombone with the business end of an always new, never used, plunger. 😉

[@milesosland]

Bob - Miles Osland here - what are doing on alto? I always had you pegged as a straight-ahead 4/4 tenor guy! Great band!

[@griffot]

Great band. Nice groove. And I really loved the sax solo. Exciting drummer too. Made my day. The video editor should be fired.

[@richray1]

Sounds great Bob !

[@FatsacksAllday]

[@5eurosenelsuelo]

[@larrysmith6797]

The video editor was fired from the Mike Douglas Show in the 1970s.

[@martinenortel7535]

trés agréable à entendre

[@KLOKFXR]

You guys really swing big time!!

[@Amnased]

love it

[@lobsterman3000]

my school played this, we had 4 days to practice and got an excellent a mpa's. not bad

[@enriquevillafane6258]

¡Tremenda banda!

[@garylockhart3430]

Excellent alto solo. Beautiful sound. Kind of "Paul Desmondish".

[@1m1a]

Really nice performance! Great sax and bone solos, and sax soli too. The video editing is very distracting though! Like someone was trying to put in every editing transition in the book into the first 3 minutes of the video. Still, the band is GREAT so i will rate it 4.

[@pussinagoodcat]

All swingin,that,s the main thing

[@AntonioDavidPickett]

Where are the saxes on the "and" of 2 in the beginning?! The drummer was even hitting it with his kick.

[@Degslon]

thats quite the video editing.

[@jazzjanne1]

@pac401 The Cameraman must think it´s MTV! janne from Sweden

[@CHRISTIANMURGUI]

en tu mente!

[@09nlis]

he has the classic cannonball sound down haha

[@Rachey827]

Much jazzier than my band, that's for sure.

[@DonRaulisimo]

Ooou yeah!!!

[@genuineforce]

thats one some bitch dirty trombone solo thanx heaps for this vid nice work ... genuineforce

[@CliveNDerek]

That was my brother, Norman Frederick Hogue, 1959-2021, may he R.I.P. The band's founder and leader, Bob Sands, passed away only weeks before Norm. Two great musicians, colleagues, and friends. Our loss is Heaven's gain.

[@RARRRRRRRRR1234]

but then again there are two versions of the menza arrangement too so hmmm

[@101underdog101]

my band sight read this at a performance... went like crap but we made it

[@arthurparker7705]

I like the Buddy Rich version.

[@er55561]

Dat sax soli.

[@gvsucavie03]

Such a good group, such terrible/overdone video editing....

[@MoarCheeseBirb]

Awesome hair on that Drummer. You'd think it'd get hot under there....

[@MariaPerez-bj8vw]

to Much"

[@ihateu5492]

The effects are giving me a headache

[@genuineforce]

goos stuff. the groove feels ( to me ) a lil forced.. but technically great

[@pac401]

the band sounds great - the video sucks. Trying too many effects and cuts.

[@pac401]

The editing on this makes it unwatchable.

[@0124578az]

Awesome sound and performance! Terrible video...it kept distracting me from the music

[@woodencardboard]

Maybe it's just personal taste, but I thought the saxophone solo was too be-bopish. Maybe back off the scales a bit and play some more simple and accesible rhythms. I think the reed he used hurt his tone too much as well. Great everything with this band though.
