[Trombone-l] Woody Herman V ideo

[Price Taylor]

If this was the same band as the one who recorded it on "Giant Steps" then
it is Jim Pugh on lead, Geoff Sharp on second, and Harold Garrett on bass
trombone (just looked on my CD cover).  I recognize Jim Pugh, although I bet
all these guys have 10% of the hair that they had then!  The "Giant Steps"
recording won the Woody Herman band a Grammy Award in 1973.

Another YouTube poster thought it was Dale Kirkland, Jim Pugh and Vaughan
Wiester on trombone.

At any rate...I counted 3 bone players and this was definitely the same
arrangement/time period as was recorded on "Giant Steps."

The Chick Corea composition and subsequent arrangement and performance by
the Woody Herman band is definitely one of my favorites from the 70s and was
an inspiration to our high school jazz ensemble.

Here's a very exciting Woody Herman video from YouTube. Recognize anyone in 
the 'bone section? Nice tempo! Those great road bands played together so 
much they couldn't help but get tight, even at these tempos.

Enjoy.
