As a jazz major at Indiana University, I had the great privilege several years ago to jam with Bruce Johnstone at his home in Erie, PA. To be world renowned, he is a very nice and humble man.
This was one of Woody’s strongest bands. Giants in every section and a dynamite rhythm section. A great memory. I saw this band in person at least twice.
At the beginnig Woody was welcomed by Willis Conover (of course), Aleksiey Batashev (Russian jazz writer) and Andrzej Jaroszewski (MC during this show).
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST BAND WOODY EVER HAD!!!!!!!!!!!! BAR NONE !!!!!!! THANKS FOR POSTING ENTIRE CONCERT FOR THE FIRST TIME . HAVE HAD THE POLISH ALBUM IN MY COLLECTION I HOPE MIKE BRIGNOLA CHECKS THIS ONE OUT....
Who is in the Band ??? I know Allen Vizzutti and believe I see Jay Sollenberger; Nelson Hatt, Dennis Dotson; Frank Tiberi, Joe Lovano, Bruce Johnstone.

The performance of Pavane (Faure/Anderson) 15:00 is better than the album version (I forget which album). As a highschool trombone player, I heard Woody live three times at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, 1976-78. Gary Anderson came and sat at our table on one of the breaks.

25-year-old Allen Vizzutti playing lead trumpet all night (including double A's and G#'s on 'Corazon' and 'La Fiesta') AND then playing 'Firedance' 40 minutes in on a 1-hour set. CHOPS!

'SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!'
Jeff Hamilton, Pat Coil and Marc Johnson, what a rhythm section. And the saxophone section is killer. The whole band is spectacular
I first got to see this band in 1977 Such a sax section Gary Anderson..Frank Tiberi, Joe Lavano and Bruce Johnstone!
And Vizzutti is circular breathing to boot! Amazing player.
Вуди Герман-один из моих любимых оркестров. Федя

Thats a serious rhythm section, Pat Coil, Marc Johnson and Jeff Hamilton!
NUMBER ONE BIG BAND
Wonderful performance!
Fantastic listening

Gary Anderson by far BEST ARRANGER WOODY EVER HAD!!!!!!
Бигбэндовый джаз держится на трех китах-Дюк Бэйси Вуди Герман. Остальное все-прикладное
GO TO BLAZES!' roared woody herman well he certainly was in a very bad rage!
Stop whistling.
Stop whistling!
woody must have used diffrent cats all the time, ive seen several videos with diffrent players but tiberi was always with him ..........i seen'em live in colorado 72
The solo at 34:00 slays
Then it was time for the Teletubbies to wake up.
'RAIGH-RAIGH RAH RAIGH RAIGH!'
It was time for the strain family to wake up.
'WAKE UP STRAINS!'
what did I tell you about cooking in the dark imagine saying that to a blind man is hilarious.
You blindfold.
My only disappointment with this is Blues in the Night wasn’t in the set.
SORRY FEDCHOCK.....
25-year-old Allen Vizzutti playing lead trumpet all night (including double A's and G#'s on 'Corazon' and 'La Fiesta') AND then playing 'Firedance' 40 minutes in on a 1-hour set. CHOPS!
He had a little help on lead, but not much. I saw him on his 1st week with Woody. And Woody really dug him.
'BASTAAAAAAAAAARRRRRDDDD!' roared cuzzy woody herman.
Out came the birthday cakes.
Out came the Muslims 1 2 3 4.
Muslims have babies.
Four Brothers with the great Bruce Johnstone oh bari... AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Joe Lovano.
'BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRDD!' roared cuzzy woody herman.
Accompanied by tubby toast and tubby custard.
And a cuoperrumsey leg.
Woody herman was playing the role of rolf harris.
