This man really did blow up a storm saw him in BRIGHTON AT THE DOME 1964WHAT A NIGHT!!!ONE BIG SWINGING MEMOREY

[SweetLolitaDreams]

I think it might be arranged by joe bishop

[TheRiverdale8]

I am doing some research on this particular arrangement for this piece. This piece I think was arranged by Neal Hefti.

1978 Pickwick Woody Herman and The Herd "Blowin' Up A Storm" with ERSATZ Stereo has "Midnight Sun" sounding really good.

[acfinney]

Does this camera know where any of the instruments are?

[Zemudknarf]

Correction to an early comment. This not a joe bishop arrangement.

If I recall correctly it was a head arranged by Ralph Burns

[EagleOnTheRhine]

It's hard to imagine a time when a guy could get up on a stage and play the clarinet, and lead a band like this, and be just as big and popular as any rock band or rap star. Wow.

Tenor sax soloist is Bob Cooper.

[chasefreak]

Is that Don Rader on the far end? I see Pete & Conte & I think that's Johnny Audino on lead trumpet.

This is great! Thanks for posting.

To ID more players: that's Chuck Flores-drums, Slide Hide-trombone, Monte Budwig-bass, Pete Candoli playing lead next to brother Conte. It looks like trumpeter Don Rader on left. Hard to mistake the pounding keys of Nat Pierce. I, too was at this historic concert in July '86. For me, the single highlight was Stan Getz on the rarely played "Ti-Land."

Wish Carl would have taken a solo.

[katella12]

here are more IDs: Muted trumpet solo by Bill Berry. Conte Candoli is second trumpet player from the left. I think pianist is Nat Pierce.

[katella12]

Correction: Not Conte Candoli but his brother Pete.

[Pipena23]

Not a patch on the 1947 version with Harris, Jackson, Tough and co.

Who plays the bone solo?

[Visionsla]

This was 1986 at the Hollywood Bowl, I was there!!

[Visionsla]

Actually it was July 16, 1986......

[shoegazer666]

the saxes were a tad loud durin the bone solo

[katella12]

Med Flory playing alto (white mouthpiece), sitting next to tenor saxophonist Bob Cooper. Rare for Woody to have an alto player in the band.

[Jazz1099]

Woody's early bands had 2 alto's,2 tenor's and 1 baritone in his sax section. The swinging herd and the thundering herd he then went to 3 tenor's and 1 baritone. This number was an early Joe Bishop arrangement for Woody

[Visionsla]

This concert was done in 1986 I believe.

Where did you get this video? It's from Woody's 50th Anniversary Concert, and I've never seen footage from it anywhere. Is it being released somewhere?
