Altissimo A isn't all that hard. Just finger it like an E and trust the overtone. Woody and others (Goodman, Shaw) often played around up that high but Woody had a habit of getting up there and staying there, like at the end of "Woodchopper's Ball". I have a chart for Artie Shaw's "Traffic Jam" calling for altissimo C. Now that's just outrageous. It's like the rest of us trying to play golf like Tiger Woods.

Wish I could turn the clock back and dig Woody's Herds again...No other band ever swung like them.



Good stuff... Dave, do you remember if any other North Texas guys were in the band at the time?
