From a 1968 show. Although loaded with US expatriates, a favorite arrangement from one of the best European big bands. Soloists are Johnny Griffin and Benny Bailey.

  • One of the best Big Bands ever! And with musicians from different countries!

  • ...and the best Lead Alto player ever....bar none.

  • Great band this. A united Nations . I saw them at Ronnie Scot,s in the sixties

    Francy Bolands charts are a bit messy but sometimes brilliant. My favourite is

    "you Steppe Out of a Dream"du

  • @Laanen Please listen to the WDR Big Band - worthy successor to this great band.

    Try listening playing "Groovin' Hard" - with Don Menza playing and leading. Germany has such a gathering of great big bands. Although I feel the colleges in the USA seem to be continuing the good cause - can anybody confirm?

  • Listen to Jimmy Woode with ELLINGTON!

  • I agree about CBBB. My favorite is and always be Woody Herman with Basie a close second, but the CBBB is my 3rd. I thought of it as the European Herman because he used 3 tenors in the sax section. If anyone is in the Dallas area on June 20th, my Pecos River Brass Big Band will be doing a tribute to Francy Boland with 14-15 of his great charts, including this Griff's Groove. Francy had a very unusual way of writing and I love it. John C. Smith

  • Just goes to show that it doesn't matter what colour you are or what country you come from, we can all be united with music.

    I agree this was one of THE greatest bands ever.

  • Man after Basie this was IMHO the greatest big band EVER.Certainly of the post bop era,A guy who does not get his due like others is Kimmy Woode who started with Basie.Listen to him hear or Mal Waldron's "Black Glory".WOW!!!!!!!!!!

  • Best European Band Ever !

  • What a Band!!!!! What a Griff´ ,What a Groove!!!!!!

    I love this Bigband- v e r y s e x y
