B. Goren. Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Woody Herman Select Boogie Woogie Select Thanks Ron. The Boogie Woogie wil be one of my next orders. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Pre-ordered both. Couldn't resist! Quote
John Tapscott Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Ordered the Herman - can hardly wait! I suggested this set to Mosaic around '93 or '94. They finally came through! Quote
montg Posted December 29, 2007 Report Posted December 29, 2007 Who's Bill Chase? Other than Nistico and a couple of others, I'm not too familiar with a lot of those names in the Herman band. Bad on me. Quote
gmonahan Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Who's Bill Chase? Other than Nistico and a couple of others, I'm not too familiar with a lot of those names in the Herman band. Bad on me. Have a look at this: Bill Chase He was a fine trumpeter. Quote
Free For All Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Just got my shipping notification- Woody has left the building! Quote
Sundog Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Ditto on the shipping notification for both "Woody" and "Boogie" Quote
thomastreichler Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Ordered the Herman - can hardly wait! I suggested this set to Mosaic around '93 or '94. They finally came through! Got the shipping notification yesterday, cannot wait to listen to it. The 1963/64 Herman Band produced some of the best big band jazz ever: superb charts, great soloists, powerful ensemble playing, swings like hell thanks to Jake Hanna, Chuck Andrus and Nat Pierce (on par with the best of Basie, Ellington and Thad Jones/Mel Lewis) Edited January 9, 2008 by Tommy T Quote

ghost of miles Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 I'll be ordering the Herman later today. Can't wait! The only album I've heard and have is 1963. Quote
Free For All Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 My Woody came today! (haven't been able to say THAT for awhile! ) Quote
gmonahan Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Oh yeah! I'm groovin' to disc one right now. It is WAY cool! This promises to be far and away my favorite select!! Quote
Free For All Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) I've been looking forward to this one for a long time, and it is excellent! A very hard swingin' band, most of the credit going to Jake MF Hanna. Great soloists and great charts- Woody's band had a sound all its own. They really managed to carve out some space for themselves in a world dominated by Duke and Basie. EDIT: I have to say that beside the obvious solo heroes like Sal Nistico and Phil Wilson you HAVE to appreciate Bill Chase's great lead trumpet work and the writing of Nat Pierce, Bill Holman, Bob Hammer, Ralph Burns, Neil Hefti and Bill Chase. YOWSAH! Edited January 11, 2008 by Free For All Quote

YOWSAH! There have ony been two Mosaic sets I've preordered - the Mulligan concert band set and this one. I wasn't disappointed in the Mulligan and I'm sure not going to be disappointed with this one. I love this band and this music!!!! Now checking my mail-box hourly! Mosaic has done a great job with Herman reissues. Quote
John Tapscott Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 The Herman arrived today!!! Now half-way through disc 2. This is one SMOKIN', ON-FIRE big band!!!! What FFA said about Jake Hanna is right on. Quote
