@marctrainor777: Well-said, the nose-in-the-air crowd in some jazz circles maintain western swing musicians don't know jazz or their axes. Guys like Buddy and Phil put the lie to that prejudice. Kudos to this big band for being open-minded. The results are worth it.
@Wn8ief The whole ensemble is tops. Maybe the Mancini Jazz portion of his full orchestra as as well as Mancini's full orchestra may have been better, but that is almost apples and oranges. Almost. Add Buddy to any great band and you have the master of the C6 neck as well as the E9. I used to go see Baugh and Mancini years back when I played horn in a state champion stage band. What happened to great music like this?
The band Buddy's playing with is the Lawton Kicks Jazz Ensemble, my old band from Lawton, Oklahoma and the first professional band I'd played with! Thanks for the video and the memories, Earl!

Calling Emmons and Phil "Country" musicians is a blatant misrepresentation. These guys could play anything.

Wow, what a tasty solo by Phil, and all the guys played "in the pocket". The definition of professional.
