  • @tyoonz Thanks for the info. I had no idea about that. I wasn't even born when this was recorded on TV (lol) I do know the tune "Jumpin' At The Woodside". If you want to hear a great recording of that tune, you should listen to Jimmy McGriff's cover if you haven't already.

  • @coolwafferman No, that was Milton DeLugg's band. Incidentally, that tune he used was actually a "mash-up" of Count Basie's "Jumpin' at the Woodside" and Harry James' "Two O'Clock Jump." Both great tunes!

  • @Wn8ief So True

  • Did the NBC Orchestra perform on "The Gong Show"? "One O'Clock Jump" is the same tune that Gene, The Dancing Machine used to dance to on that show. I believe both shows were taped in Burbank.

  • @ggxlychan Ross Tompkins is on piano. He was in the band through all its Burbank days. He died about five years ago.

  • Match your metronome to Ed. If they differ, your metronome is broken.

  • This was the best "studio big band" ever! The crew which set up the mics did a great job. You heard everything. There was no hollowness which crept into other TV show bands/orchestras of the day. The musicians were all recognized as being at the top of their field. Jeezus...I miss this stuff.

  • Can't get enough of this, and it isn't coming back, ever...

  • @jason60chev Why, did you have trouble hearing them? When you can play that well, step up.

  • @googuse You might think the tempo is fast, but there is no rushing. It's very consistent...and correct.
