Sammy Nestico Big Band - A Warm Breeze (1981 Version)

This is the 1981 version of this tune, the last one I posted of this was a later re-recording of this. Enjoy!
Has that real Basie feel.

Thank you for this. It will always be my favorite arrangement of the tune. My LP seemed to vanish… so was really happy to see this.

Love playing drums to big band charts, Buddy Rich , Count Basie Gordon Goodwin. And Phat band, and of course Sammy Nestico my brother knows him played some of his stuff in the Annapolis band in 60s while in the Navy.

Thanks for comment.

I'd keep getting simpler and then I started writing for Basie. And he's such a simple man. He plays simple piano and he's beautiful. and there's a charm about it. It's difficult to write simple and good. I started getting out my eraser and after I was done, rather than adding things, I'd look at the score and keep erasing things out of it. So I find that's my style now and I like it" Sammy Nestico

Can't remember ever playing a bad Sammy chart.

[@evanvarns4785]

That's because there aren't any. :)

He said this was his first wife's favorite tune (she unfortunately passed away).

[@imthebrother]

That I recall on a article I read recently. I found out later his first wife's name was Marge.

[@grahamm3139]

[@imthebrother]

That's Bill Watrous (RIP) on here....
