Description:
2 CD set. During the summer of 1956, when rock and roll was beginning to take hold of the War Baby Generation, Woody Herman and his 17 sidemen embarked on one of their extensive road trips. After recording sessions in Chicago, they headed for New Jersey and the Steel Pier in Atlantic City to undertake a few weeks' residency, later in July it was on to Salt Lake City in Utah for an engagement at The Lagoon. It is from The Lagoon concerts of July 28 & 29 that the 41 tracks comprising these two volumes of exciting, engaging and at times inspired music are drawn. They suggest that the impressive and formidable nature of this rather underrated band was never properly captured in the orchestra's studio sessions. |
