Willowcrest--The Bob Florence Limited Edition

From the Bob Florence tribute at the Catalina Bar and Grill (Hollywood) on June 15, 2008, here is the Bob Florence Limited Edition on "Willowcrest".

Saxes: Jennifer Hall, Tom Peterson, Don Shelton, Kim Richmond, Billy Kerr, Bob Efford
Trombones: Alex Iles, Charlie Loper, Bob McChesney, Craig Gosnell
Trumpets: Steve Huffsteter, Pete DeSiena, Carl Saunders, Lee Thornburg, Ron Stout
Bass: Trey Henry
Drums: Peter Erskine
Guitar: Larry Koonse

Originally written by Bob for the Buddy Rich Big Band, this seems to me to be a much slower tempo than the original--but no less intense, as interpreted by Peter Erskine.

This is Bob's intended tempo. Buddy always took it too fast.
