Woody Herman's First Herd ∽ 125th STREET PROPHET ∽ Old Gold Radio Show ∽ 1944

[MrMaymac]

These sounds really do remember the best times of the big bands, this is a majestic piece of music.

@MrMaymac ∽∽ It is indeed. The word "majestic" describes this chart perfectly. And Woody has such a dark sound here. The era will live as long as there are all those sounds around.

@60otaku3 ∽∽ I'm delighted that you like it, Otaku-san. ∽∽ Now, isn't that a fantastic chart? It's unfortunate that the 78rpm-shellacks had not enough space (10" size, 3 minutes+ only). And the V-discs weren't made for sale. This tune could have become a big hit for Woody.
