Woody Herman: The Concord Jazz Heritage Series CD Track Listing
Woody Herman
The Concord Jazz Heritage Series (1993)
AMG EXPERT REVIEW:Here are the final editions of the Woody Herman band as recorded by Concord beginning in 1979 and ending in March 1987, virtually days before illness finally took him off the road for good. (He died in October 1987.) These selections thankfully avoid the Herman band's various accommodations with pop trends and instead concentrate on its core jazz values. But there are some lively guest appearances, including Woody Shaw and a very strong Dizzy Gillespie on "Woody 'n You," good Flip Phillips on "Perdido," and an appropriately lyrical Stan Getz on "What Are You Doing." Even the old "Four Brothers," performed by the band's resident soloists, sounds marvelous. John Fedchock's charts, for five of the 12 cutshere, are well-schooled pieces with a preference for brass colorations over reeds, and his immaculate trombone on "Round Midnight" has a classicalstoicism about it. ~ John McDonough, Downbeat, All Music Guide
This jazz cd contains 12 tracks and runs 70min 50sec.
