medjuck Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 Found out at the last minute that Johnny Mandel was leading a 17 piece band at a local club. Place was packed. Apparently he does 6 or so gigs a year. He started 8 years ago when he was 80! Even when they played The Shadow of Your Smile he turned into a stomper after one chorus. He seems to be channeling his days arranging for Basie and Herman. Quote
