Gotta give some thanks to the BBC for recording these sessions.

Loved Woody Herman and his bands. Got to share birthday cake with him one year when he played "Gillys" I remember when he walked out he was looking very feeble at first, this was very late in his career when he was forced to keep touring because of tax issues. But then he put the clarinet up to his lips, reared back and gave the downbeat. It was as though he lost twenty years of age in that single moment and he SWUNG his band. It was obvioius his players really loved and respected him.

Also, my Tribute to monster tenorist Sal Nistico who solos here at 2:47. => A 34 minute video compilation of 19 of his solos with Woody’s Band in 1963 & 1964 - extracted from 5 TV Shows (“Jazz Casual”, BBC/TV, and Montreal/TV). Every time I watch that man play, ALL I can do is shake my head in disbelief. To say nothing of Woody’s ‘63-64 band. Here’s to YOU, Sal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2mqnp9rqrBgj6s

I also agree that Woody's 1963 and 1964 bands may in fact be the greatest bands in history. All of the 1964 album "Woody Herman:1964" is as good as it gets, every track. And "Sister Sadie" from "Woody Herman - 1963" is also essential. But let's not forget "Woody's Winners" as perhaps one of the greatest, and most frantic, live albums ever recorded. Thanks for the Sal tribute...I agree.
