Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band - Tuning Up

"Tuning Up" by Toshiko Akiyoshi as performed by the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band on Road Time.
I apologize for the song stopping just short of the ending. There was a malfunction with the conversion process from vinyl to digital. It is missing the last sixteen measures approximately.
I do not own the rights to this piece, arrangement, recording or anything related. I just wanted to share this recording with those who do not readily have access to

I am forever grateful to my high school band director for introducing us to this album! Sumovdabest!

[@dougmacpherson927]

Late to the comments here. We played this at a few competitions and messed up the judges every time at the start! Was fun to hear the taped judges comments opening with the sound of us already playing and "ok- ya got me!!"....we 'tuned up' a bit longer to really sell it and then bam! 😀 echoing comments about thanking our music directors for exposing us to such awesome music as high school kids in the 70's 🎶

The album IS on CD, but its only available in Japan. My wife got a copy via Amazon, but brace yourself...it was $45!! Worth every penny, if you ask me, but her eyeballs popped!

[@goldmuffingaming957]

the transition into the first solo is so groovy‼️

[@donwengerter7384]

Great second set opener in college. People thought we were fooling around in the intro

[@akweiss65]

We played this in college in the mid-80s, love it!

[@armagob]

My college professor insisted we listen to this song as a modern big band, fantastic. DeAnza College.

[@jimbalfour9003]

one of my absolute favourites in the 70's so glad to have found it!

[@bassbone44]

Got to play the Bass Trombone part in the Millikin University Jazz Band. Loads of fun!

[@ericgallon7356]

This is a fantastic song; it's a shame it's not available on iTunes.

[@Egbert1957]

... bestes Stück von allen für mich. EIN Paradestück für Bassposaunisten ...

[@davecastanon6920]

WOW.....an actual live performance that hasn't been tampered with much. Such a rare--and much appreciated-- listening experience!

[@DynamicDina]

I've said this before. I got this vinyl at a book fair almost without clue about the record. I just saw "Lew Tabackin" written on the cover and I said "That's it, I gotta buy this." How did I find about Lew Tabackin? because of the book of jazz, which I got from a flea market... Ye, life is amazing when that kind of things happen. Thanks god, for jazz.

[@TboneMaster41]

We are playing this song in the Blue Lake International Jazz Band this summer and I love it!

[@rjknyc1122]

Thank you for sharing!

[@MCGEHEE1]

Thank you very much for uploading this outstanding recording. This is Toshiko A. big band at it's best...uploading the cut "Road Time Shuffle" would be a great treat for all, please do it, thank you.

[@RussellDDixon]

WISH they would re-produce this in CD and Vinyl !!!

[@9manny99]

That tenor sax so crisp.

[@MCGEHEE1]

Lew Tabackin !

[@kkrush721]

My high school jazz band played this at a jazz competition at Notre Dame and blew the house down! Love this tune! We highlighted several musicians with solos, our bass player, a trumpet, a trombone and myself on baritone sax (bass clarinet during the woodwind segment). The BEST ever!!

Phil Teele's Bass-Trombone!!

[@bohumilknop563]

Top!

[@ryankiel4895]

These men are absolute masters of the art of jazz. Was Lew Tabakin the second tenor solo? Unreal.

[@saxorexic]

My friend, Tom Peterson, plays the first tenor solo.

[@bobviavattine1715]

That's a grreat solo man.....

[@Gemashke]

Yo!

[@kwwalker64]

My student will be playing Lead Trumpet with that group:)

[@ZorenToo]

I remember my college jazz band playing this in the 80s but can't find a recording anywhere

[@ZorenToo]

Finally found an original vinyl for sale. Happy now! 🤗

[@andyrichardson6188]

Pretty sure this is recorded with one of the channels at a much higher volume than the other. The mix of left to right sounds very different on the album.

[@kwwalker64]

The one that is playing this song... I believe his folder is marked "Orchestra."

Who is playing the excellent trombone solo?

[@SamIAm-kz4hg]

Bill Reichenbach, I think.

[@daletiger35]

+Samiam 666 yes that's who it is my band director had this album on the LP

[@SamIAm-kz4hg]

So did mine : ) A few years ago I bought the album and had it converted online by a company that specializes in this.

[@jazzbob57]

You should post it.

[@TboneMaster41]

In the Ensemble or Orchestra?

[@PTLOH]

Anyone know who played the alto solo starting at 5:14? Great solo!

[@b33lz]

Looking at the vinyl credits it's either Dick Spencer or Gary Foster

[@MCGEHEE1]

Dick Spencer 1st Alto.

[@MCGEHEE1]

Gary Foster 1st Tenor

2:39 I am dissatisfied by the second trombone

[@nathanzahm1845]

I play second trombone on this song in my jazz band and I hate playing a D natural on the E flat 7 chord. It just feels wrong

[@Egbert1957]

@@nathanzahm1845 ... gut gekontert, verdammt schwieriger Part auch für mich an der Bassposaune. ORIGINAL-Part für mich ist von N. KNEPPER glaube ich. Schallplatten sind im Keller. Leider.
