Woody Herman Bill Chase Woodchopper's Ball

From the '1969 Swinging Herd' broadcast. The band looks really "hip" and thankfully sound even better. Sal Nistico on tenor, Harry Hall trumpet, Bob Burgess trombone, Arthur Harper bass, and the great Bill Chase trumpet. In fact, this is one very strong trumpet section.. Bill Byrne, Galen Jeter, Bill Chase, John Madrid, and Harry Hall.

Any more clips from this concert? I knew they filmed some stuff over there on that tour. How'd you find this?

@chasefreak

I received this in a trade. I'll post one or two more, but the whole show is: Say a Little Prayer, Light My Fire, Woodchoppers Ball, Shadow of Your Smile, Keep On Keeping On, Mac Park, and a title I can't identify.

Woodrow was something else alright! The Young Thundering Herds were always a thrill to see live which I did living in Orange County, CA. As an old wanna be jazz trumpeter out of Westlake College in Hollywood I had the luck to play many of the charts that Woody, Stan & Basie gave us. Remember the 1964 Herd trumpets...Bill Chase, Dushko Goykovitch and Don Rader? Bill's chart "23 Red" was a trumpet feature for the three of them. He could write too. Thank you very much for sharing this.

Happy Birthday Mr. Herman on May 16th -- we share a birthday. I was lucky enough to see Mr. Herman live 3 times and meet him. He signed an album for me.
