What a tight group with so much energy. Woody never let things drag.

The drummer is Jake Hannah who died early last year, 2010, at the age of 68 from complications due to a blood disease. Superb musician, unusual in a drummer ;o)

Woody had the best, most solid band in the land!!!! They could swing better than any other.

There are two thumbs down here. What is not to like?? Nice, tight ensemble work, screeming brass, interesting arrangement; great stuff!!

[waynedanberry]

What's the drummers name? I see he changes his left hand grip.
