Description:
This music consists of 25 tunes 73 min. of radio broadcasts made between 1944 and 1947, and has not been previously issued. The Woody Herman Orchestra at this time was comprised of musicians which came to be called the famous "first Herd". The band included such jazz stars as trumpeters Shorty Rogers and The Candoli Brothers, trombonist Bill Harris, pianist Jimmy Rowles, vibraphonist Red Norvo and vocalists Mildred Bailey and Jo Stafford. The music exhibits plenty of verve and enthusiasm, imaginative voicings and arrangements, a roaring big band sound and non stop swing. |
