Dick Cully Big Band - Wind Machine - Enjoy the (SHOUT) chorus it kicks ass.

The Dick Cully Big Band Performance of the great Sammy Nestico tune (Wind Machine) featuring Mario Escobar on tenor sax, written for Count Basie and performed at Old School Square Cultural Arts Center and National Historic site located at Delray Beach, Florida as the opening act for singer Toni Tennille who was backed by the Dick Cully Big Band. Read what Sammy Nestico, the composer had to say:

Dick: I am flabbergasted, thanks ever so much, I am impressed and deeply grateful. Your band is fantastic. I've heard so many renditions of my music that I was disappointed in. I worked shortly with Gene Krupa, and I wrote a couple of things for Buddy Rich ... making it another thing we have in common.

What a treat to hear (and see) your band play my music. I wish to profusely thank you for the many you-tube numbers that you have sent to me. They were fun listening to, but by far the best were from your band. I can't thank you enough.

Good luck with all your music and endeavors.

Sammy Nestico

Four great trumpets, Brian MacDonald played lead, Ashley Hall played second, Melton Mustafa played jazz and Dennis Noday played the fourth chair. Brian is playing with the U.S. Air Force band, Ashley has been touring with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Melton worked with Count Basie and Dennis worked with Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich and Maynard. We backed Toni Tennille and she loved the trumpet section (her dad played trumpet)and told them it was the best group of players she had worked with in ages.
