Sammy Nestico Big Band - A Warm Breeze (1981 Version)

[@keithk.3963]

Thank you for this. It will always be my favorite arrangement of the tune. My LP seemed to vanish… so was really happy to see this.

Now THATS Bill Watrous

Love playing drums to big band charts, Buddy Rich , Count Basie Gordon Goodwin. And Phat band, and of course Sammy Nestico my brother knows him played some of his stuff in the Annapolis band in 60s while in the Navy.

This is one of my favorite tunes from this album! Love the sax soli section. Probably second favorite to Samantha.

Nestico's Masterpiece! See my post on the original Basie version, but this one's even cooler..

I'd keep getting simpler and then I started writing for Basie. And he's such a simple man. He plays simple piano and he's beautiful. and there's a charm about it. It's difficult to write simple and good. I started getting out my eraser and after I was done, rather than adding things, I'd look at the score and keep erasing things out of it. So I find that's my style now and I like it" Sammy Nestico

He said this was his first wife's favorite tune (she unfortunately passed away).

[@imthebrother]

That I recall on a article I read recently. I found out later his first wife's name was Marge.

[@davidhurd3099]

Can't remember ever playing a bad Sammy chart.

[@evanvarns4785]
