Saw Sal in London in the 70s. Thought then he was the best player I'd seen -.and I'd seen many of the 'greats'. So fast, so powerful. Awesome. I grew up on rock music so the Herds were just up my street!!! Would love a CD compilation of him playing.

I like the slower versions because the beautiful main melody is almost hidden here. But Sal Nistico is perfect. It's the arrangement I don't like in this case.

How can anyone dislike this??? Sal is burnin'!!!!!
-
Holy crap that is so fast compared to our version
-
Those 3 dislikes were Sammy Kaye fans
-
Sal is epic: all what can be told about music, does he show you in 3 1/2 minutes
-
So GREAT!

Well some how I am related to Sal Nistico...just kinda sucks that i'm not musically talented at all...not unless u count singing?!

I played with Sal in Chuck and Gap Mangione's group in Rochester in '59 and 60. What a learning process for me!! Unfortunately I had a different direction and ended up playing clarinet in the Chicago for thirty some years(retired now) but have never forgotten that incredible sound and swing....Larry Combs
Sal's my father and having found this clip, and a couple of others has been wonderful. If anyone knows of any other footage or info, it would mean a lot. Also wonderful to read the comments. Thanks.

I too was at that Guildhall concert and still have the programme for the evening. I remember Jake Hanna doing a send up of current rock drummers.
