Come up to Portland, we have more Jazz players than LA now, and great ones....

This a wonderful chart--still good jazz writing over half a century and more.I transcribed the late Davey Schildkraut's alto solo on the original Kenton recording. Still prefer it over anybody else's later alto solo on this.

Funny comments. For people who all seem to have some experience, it's odd that anyone would take a particular clip and act like it was representative of anything but a particular group of players on a particular night. I have been very impressed with the few live big band things I've caught in LA over the years, very hard-swinging stuff. And as it happens, the things I heard in NYC were much cooler, post-Gil Evans things. But I didn't think those occasions told me everything about both places.

Wow! Hard to believe we still have people trying to argue about West Coast versus East Coast. How silly! (And, ignorant!)
-
What's the competition about? This is jazz, not a football game. This is fine playing, a great chart, and that's enough. Not everyone can be John Coltrane, does that mean we all have to fall on our axes?
Thanks for sharing.

First of all, this is not Bills first call band. Secondly, if you can find a trombone player or tenor saxophone player on the east coast who wants to go up against Andy Martin or Pete Christlieb in a cutting session you're got a very long search in front of you.

Descent trumpet plating.Pretty good song

LA players are good section players but east coast players are by far the most creative and have much much higher level solos.All of the trumpet soloists in these top LA bands sound identicle and very boring with the exact same licks.Ron stout is the only one ive heard that isnt a clone.

I can't believe there aren't more comments on this classic chart and these great players. Sometimes it seems as if jazz folks can be too "east coast-centric". The west coast had good players too: Pete and Conte Candoli, Jack Sheldon, Holman, Med Flory, Lou Levy, and many more.

We have this chart - that intro isn't easy to nail and this drummer almost hit it.
