Woody Herman Big Band - Jazz Jamboree 1977

[@thomasc.reeves7246]

This was one of Woody’s strongest bands. Giants in every section and a dynamite rhythm section. A great memory. I saw this band in person at least twice.

'SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!'

[@Classic.Hits-335.artists]

As a jazz major at Indiana University, I had the great privilege several years ago to jam with Bruce Johnstone at his home in Erie, PA. To be world renowned, he is a very nice and humble man.

[@eriksmithdrummer]

Thats a serious rhythm section, Pat Coil, Marc Johnson and Jeff Hamilton!

[@kerrmartin95]

25-year-old Allen Vizzutti playing lead trumpet all night (including double A's and G#'s on 'Corazon' and 'La Fiesta') AND then playing 'Firedance' 40 minutes in on a 1-hour set. CHOPS!

[@rmo52]

He had a little help on lead, but not much. I saw him on his 1st week with Woody. And Woody really dug him.

[@maggiepaine483]

'BASTAAAAAAAAAARRRRRDDDD!' roared cuzzy woody herman.

[@maggiepaine483]

Out came the birthday cakes.

[@maggiepaine483]

Out came the Muslims 1 2 3 4.

[@maggiepaine483]

Muslims have babies.

[@chrisbauer7855]

And Vizzutti is circular breathing to boot! Amazing player.

[@ВалераРудаков-э8в]

Всегда супер, а Алексей Баташев уникальная личность

[@maggiepaine483]

Woody herman was laughing at the dogs.

[@tiluriso]

Jeff Hamilton, Pat Coil and Marc Johnson, what a rhythm section. And the saxophone section is killer. The whole band is spectacular

At the beginnig Woody was welcomed by Willis Conover (of course), Aleksiey Batashev (Russian jazz writer) and Andrzej Jaroszewski (MC during this show).

[@TrumpetPerformanceTips]

This should be released as an Album/CD !!!

[@MarkEmersonDonnelly]

The performance of Pavane (Faure/Anderson) 15:00 is better than the album version (I forget which album). As a highschool trombone player, I heard Woody live three times at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, 1976-78. Gary Anderson came and sat at our table on one of the breaks.
