The essence of a jazz orchestra, woven with skilled swing.
A live recording by the Woody Herman Orchestra, taken at Carnegie Hall, this dynamic composition spans the boundaries of swing and modern jazz.
This rare live recording captures the maturity of Woody Herman's Orchestra, condensing the big band energy that has continued since the swing era. The horn section is powerful, and the rhythm section's tight playing supports the whole. The ensemble is meticulously controlled yet highly improvisational, filled with the unique live energy. The recording is clear, and the positioning of each instrument is natural. Herman's conducting is precise, guiding the orchestra's multi-layered sound with precision. This comprehensive collection of performances demonstrates the talent of this master who bridged the gap between swing and bebop.
