The Chicken (cover) Tommy Igoe & The Buddy Rich Big Band

[@U2WB]

Tommy is one of very few drummers worthy of sitting in with Buddy’s band.

[@Studio.Dr.S.]

I might have already mentioned how much I adore Will Lee both as a Bass player and as a musician. But Holly sh***! Tommy Igoe is a Monster: so much drive, attack, groove PLUS leading a big band - that's pretty insane.

[@robzecc]

Bloody hell! I love how Will Lee is not trying to do Jaco at all but just grooving his ass off

[@mfisher702]

Exactly

[@peekaboo4390]

All serious player cats...love it. Props to the sound guy, that was a perfect mix.

[@michaelwalz5758]

Don’t know if anyone has made drumming look more effortless then Tommy

[@Studio.Dr.S.]

Where does this fat, snappy and ass kicking sound from with whom he leads an entire big band? Amazing! 🎉

[@vwdiver512]

This is by far my favorite rendition of this tune.

[@Studio.Dr.S.]

Same here. Even better than the Jaco big band version.

[@mojito6629]

great bass play and stage act, Will Lee

[@pb-wb2rr]

Will never tire of this tune. Always a toe tapper. A joy to play too.

[@kenjohnson3522]

Saw the "Jaco Pastorius Big Band" do this with David Carswell on bass in Hollywood FL many years ago....kind of a tribute concert. Equally Fabulous. His Jaco's SON walked in late and sat next to me. Kind of spooky because he looks so much like his Dad........

[@ER-me1ii]

One of the most accomplished bass players ever getting “nervous”. Thanks for sharing. The tone on your bass and the whole performance is off the hook. That’s an infectious groove.

[@dw3912]

Cool tune...I'D love to be the drummer behind a huge band like this....all I can say, is WOW!

[@rahnlawson9463]

That was great !

[@tromBoyer]

Will is walking the absolute snot outta that red Jazz!

[@MacTeee]

Very tasty and super funky playing by all! Yes, I do love playing this song on bass as well. I'm totally digging your very slinky rubber bandy tone on this one Mr. Lee!

[@rrrockhard]

You really nail it. My favorite version ever!

[@jeffmorrison5695]

Thanks Will. That was just what my soul needed after a long week. Beautiful!!

[@fredericzanone5379]

Excellent

[@TheJackBlast]

Man, you really do know how to sweep with the thunderbrom! Since it was a memorial concert I was wondering if, in Buddy's memory, the drummer fired the band after the show.😉😂

[@kbZEROpxn]

Clams! I'm breakin' my ba!!5 out here and how dare you disrespect me like that?? You think it's funny?? .... ROFL

[@vwdiver512]

I want to take lessons from @tommyigoe and I want to play this with a big band before I die. SO GOOD.

[@victormorosco4757]

YoH Roger! Great Baritone solo

[@stefanoincardona976]

Stupenda versione,, grandissimo Will Lee

[@youcancallmecurt9711]

i've had this specific performance on a playlist of mine for probably around 7 years now. saw it pop up on my feed and it was posted by none other than will lee himself. you're a huge inspiration mr. lee

[@shawnbruce6934]

This was Killing!!

[@mcpappysgolden]

You will always be one of my musical heroes Uncle Will!

[@MorningCarnival]

This is top notch!!!!

[@MrFchank]

Every musician on this recording is on fire,especially Igoe!!

[@frankcastorena5832]

Will Lee,…. The Master of Disaster! What a privilege it is to watch you work sir! Great tune!

[@RobMLyon]

Just incredible, what feel

[@MicahStott]

omg, Will Lee is the GOAT. That man can do it all.

[@rellison68]

I really enjoyed your performance, Mr Lee. I'm really glad youtube has a "slow down" feature. I gotta be rippin some of that off.

[@sirearlwilmerjoneskt3231]

GREAT.

[@drums3269]

1:32 when you're in the pocket, and the joy of drumming shows.

[@herbertheck]

You handled your business as always Will! Groove of Doom!!!

[@rossmonwithaneaux8085]

[@gustavoviveros8394]

The Chicken - Will Lee & the other guys !!!!!!

[@queeng4221]

Fantastic 🎸🎉🔥

[@zerothree332]

Wow the band sounds really tight 👍

[@mfisher702]

Possibly the best Chicken ever. Anyone know where we can find a hi-res audio file of this performance?

[@dwighthasbrouck8993]

Very true😊

[@wrdrumsmobile]

Nice

[@SaxPracticemanJazz]

Yeah!

[@captnorth5]

Really nice work Will!

[@funkydrumr51]

I don't much like resorting to superlatives, but I listen to a lot of bass players, and structurally and melodically, this is one of the greatest bass solos I've ever heard.

[@oldmanpence4803]

Will Lee.. you funky motha-funker. This is so tasty dude. omigod.

[@jastockton1]

Great cover! Keep it up!

[@boazdarmawan4995]

[@ВикторКозлов-ж3д]

Крутой забой.

[@leleanastasi3338]

Tommy Igoe fantastic. But... With a bassist like this, a drummer has zero effort. The first time I saw Will play was in a club in Los Angeles in 1980 with Spyro Gyra. I was blown away by its fantastic groove. I Love You

[@JohnBarletta]

Matt Harris as MD and Key Boards !!!!!!

[@professorantoniominhoto]

Tremendous performance. But what about this Will's shirt?! Strange...

[@chrissnyder9664]

Anyone have a list of who was on the band that night??

[@FinianDarby]

Excellent stuff Will. Was that Roger Rosenberg on the Baritone Sax solo?

[@vasiliimoiseev8917]

Tommy bravo! The best chicken)))!

[@MadMagicPaul]

Is it possible to buy the bass transcription please?

[@theinvisiblebassist]

I'd buy that too!

[@Oroonie]

Who's the funky rhythm guitar player? Sounds like Charlie Brent!

[@LateShowBottomEnd]

Paul Pesco!

[@tromboneJTS]

lead trumpet rocks

[@ronwoodlopez979]

Hola, el jszz el sonido de urbe.

[@SONORSQ2guy]

Will Lee looks like Timothy Treadwell.

[@sergejivasnikov8551]

На басу Борька Джесинюк але Грег Бесанет? )))))

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Looks like new music stands.

[@10tonrecords95]

Will is playing like a pissed off Michael Jordan.

[@eggy68]

Didn’t hear a single clam!

[@anikord3242]

Wonderful ! But bass should be fretless)

[@gabrielegentili28]

Antonio Cassano alla batteria
