2007 German Speaker Corners  reissue on 180g audiophile vinyl LP - While this is hardly "the Swingin'est Big Band Ever," as hyped on the cover on this Verve LP that originally appeared on Phillips, this 1963 edition of Woody Herman's big band is a strong one, with an emphasis on well-constructed blues charts. Joe Newman's hard-swinging "Molasses," which features tenor saxophonist Sal Nistico and trumpeter Bill Chase, is a snappy opener, followed by a driving arrangement of Horace Parlan's "Blues for J.P." Nistico takes the spotlight again in a memorable setting of Horace Silver's "Sister Sadie," while trombonist Phil Wilson shines as a soloist in both Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and the forgotten chestnut "It's a Lonesome Old Town (When You're Not Around)." The only letdown of the date is Herman's throwaway vocal chorus in Chase's "Camel Walk," which follows the leader's potent clarinet solo. Although fans will prefer the earlier editions of the Woody Herman herd, this CD, which is available only until May 2005, is well worth acquiring by big band aficionados.

A1 Mo-Lasses
A2 Blues For J.P.
A3 Don’t Get Around Much Anymore
A4 Tunin’ In

B1 Sister Sadie
B2 Sig EP
B3 It’s A Lonesome Old Town (When You’re Not Around)

Three big bands remained true to swing in the Sixties those of Duke Ellington Count Basie and Woody Herman Although the Count ventured into the spheres of James Bond and the Beatles and despite the Dukes musical hits it was Woody Herman who best made the transition into the world of new sounds and compositions The Herds as Woody called his various bands with himself as shepherd galloped through the second half of the 20th century leaving giant footprints in the history of jazz In October 1962 several topnotch soloists joined Woody Herman in the New York Studio Bill Chase the highly individual trumpeter Sal Nistico the excellent arranger and tenor sax soloist and Phil Wilson the trombonist who battled against the elemental forces of the Herd saxophonists Most impressive of all however is the big band sound the fierce vitality with which the almost fully newlyassembled band canters through originals and new arrangements like Sister Sadie by Horace Silver or Joe Newmans Molasses
