 (3 Customer Reviews)
Black & White; Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English The golden era of jazz was enlivened by the music of Woody Herman. A multi-talented musician and band leader, Herman made his name in the bop and swing genres, with some lively compositions that were brought to life with his band, The Swinging Herd. This compilation gathers together some of Woody's greatest television performances, and is culled from various appearances between 1963-1964.

Woody Herman - Woody Herman And His Swinging Herd Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Woody's Herd 1964
I live in the UK and saw this wonderful band live. They appeared on the BBC television series Jazz625 which has never been released on VHS or DVD so when I saw this release I confirmed with CD Universe that it was all regions and ordered it. I was not disapointed, what a band, Bill Chase, Sal Nistico, Nat Pearce, Chuck Andrus, Jake Hanna and all the guys swing like mad. If you are a Herman fan..Buy It.
As a previous reviewer said, an audience would have given it more atmosphere but this is Woody's 1964 Herd at it's best.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Top Woody Herman on DVD
Woody Herman's "Swingin' Herd" of the mid-1960s period was one of his best, although it is not well represented in the catalogue. This Canadian DVD makes a good companion piece to the three Jazz Casual programs on DVD of the same vintage (1963-1964). The band plays with precision and drive and the solo power is impressive, with Sal Nistico, Bill Chase, Phil Wilson, Nat Pierce and Woody himself. The program contains a surprising number of new versions of First Herd classics, like Apple Honey, Caldonia and Sidewalks of Cuba. The only minor quibbles are the slightly grainy black and white TV image in places (though quite watchable) and the lack of an audience to add some atmosphere. But all Woody and big band fans should grab this one.

Woody Herman - Woody Herman And His Swinging Herd review
 $13.45 
Grammy Award winning Arranger and Band Leader Bill Holman brings us his jazz big band recorded live in 2004. Bill Holman introduces many new and exciting compositions and arrangements with his star packed LA based jazz big band. The Bill Holman Band is considered one of the greatest working big bands in jazz today:"This is the first album since 1997 by The Bill Holman Band. Why there was so long an interregnum between recordings by an essential cultural institution requires a discussion of conditions in the music industry and the society at large. You will not find that discussion here. Let us simply shout hooray, and praise impresario Ken Poston for including the band in one of his periodic jazz events, and Graham Carter of Jazzed Media for capturing the performance.Typical of how a slightly older generation of arrangers regards Holman is something the late Ralph Burns told me about Willis's writing: "It's pure jazz, but he writes everything very classically. It's linear and simple and clear." From one younger arranger, Bill Kirchner: "His linear concepts are among the most important innovations ever used in a jazz orchestra," and another, Don Sebesky: "I hear nothing, past or present, that comes close to (his writing) because he combines the objective and subjective ...
