You know, there was the Duke and the Count and on the fringe there was always Stan the great inovator, always ahead of eveyone. To the uninformed, Woody seemed to always have that "Woodchoppers Ball" stuck to his name but the Thundering Herd was the most dynamic outfit of them all. He was smart enough to blend some of rock into his work in the late 60's and early 70's and they were the Grammy winners.

You have to give Woody credit - his was one of the few big bands from the 40s that stayed contemporary. Most of the others became repertoire bands.

@kalimeros18 I agree. Joey is a beast.
Love Joe Lovano's Selmer Balanced Action. Steve Marcus also played one. I bought one back in 1975 and just recently sold it for $3,700. Bet Joe's is worth twice that much. I know it was his Dad's. Frank Tiberi was always great.

Scary! (in a good way) Is that Jeff Hamilton on the drums? Thanks for the great video!
