@sandc411 I used to go to D-land and hear great jazz as well. Then they got rid of their "All That Jazz" program, Buddy and Woody died and they rarely book anything in there that isn't "teen" oriented. Gotta push that Disney Channel you know.

Not sure of the sax solo but the high note trumpet solo is played by Bill Chase, who was at the time the lead trumpet with Woody Herman's band and later the later of the rock band "Chase".

This is the B side of "Daydream Believer" (Fall of '67) Way before "Head" The high note trumpet solo (omitted from this video post) is by Bill Chase, then lead trumpet man with Woody Herman and later the leader of the rock band "Chase"

Jan Konopasek was my roommate when I was the working the cruise ships in the 80's. A great guy and lots of stories about his remarkable career. He was a top call musician in Prague in the 60's who escaped after the Russian occupation and came to USA to study at Berklee. His association with Wo...

Been enjoying your fishing videos. And a fellow ham as well. Good fishing and good dx to you from KG6JGQ. I'm also in N. Carolina (a transplant from from California) living in Fayetteville.

John Harner played the solo on the "Kenton 76" recording. This is Jay Sollenberger playing it here.

"Just a Closer Walk With Thee". An old 18th century hymn, pretty standard fare at New Orleans funerals even today

Agreed this is one of Buddy's best bands. Bob Crea gets off a hot funky solo and Joe Beck's guitar provides some tasty fills. I always felt the recording level on the band was rather badly distorted. True BR's bands were LOUD, but his Pacific Jazz and RCA sides were mixed better overall. Just...

Jimmy Dodd, later of "Mickey Mouse Club" fame, sings the second chorus

Tenor saxophone solo is by Tom Politzer

OK I was eleven yrs old when this was a hit. First big one for the Association. We had NO IDEA what is was they were singing about. Just knew the lyrics went by fast and I couldn't figure them out. In an era when songs were being banned from radio play lists for vague references to something ...

This one got air play in the SF bay area around Feb of '67 but failed to crack the local "charts". Good song. I like the recorder lead during the instr. interlude. Not quite as tight production-wise as some of their others (vocal obbligato at the end is out of tune). But still a nice memory f...

Don Piestrup's "Parenthia" (often mis-spelled as "Parthenia"). Nice to hear.

Great to see this track on YouTube. Love this Bill Cunliffe composition

The real Gene Krupa on drums and Teddy Wilson on piano

@b42baritone According to George T. Simon in his book, "The Big Bands", Allen received lessons for NY Phil clarinetist Sol Yaged as he was preparing for the role

This was a fairly big hit in USA during the Invasion of 64. When I first heard it I thought the lead vocal sounded exactly like Neil Sedaka.

Mike Price is lead tpt. Looks like Bruce Paulson on lead bone. Altos are Quinn Davis on lead and Richie Cole is 2nd. Don Englert is tenor 2 and Joseph Calo baritone.

"Red Bank Boogie" - Count Basie and his Orch

I played in the Buckinghams horn section two years ago and this is what they said about the psychedelic section. James Guercio produced it. He was also doing the early Chicago and later BS and T. He said he had an idea for for about 40 seconds of unrelated sound that might just work, since thi...

@Westcoasttony Snooky is on the date, but the solo is Gerald....according to Gerald. He also claims coming up with the title.

@hommefriday

That's "Butter"....Bobby Burgess on trombone. Long time vet of Stan Kenton and Maynard Ferguson bands. did about a 4 year hitch with Woody from 68-72.

Dang, Lin Biviano sounds good on this. Never knew how well he could play this style. And Butch Miles is a CLASS guy all the way
