Holy Grail Analogue Recording Big Band found!

Highest caliber musicianship that should not only be enjoyed and appreciated, but carefully studied by practitioners of the art.  These recordings are a pure clinic in tight ensemble work, balance of sections and outrageous solo work.  These guys have world class chops!

I prefer Grammy winning Gordon Goodwin’s arrangements, players and recordings.

Thank you for suggestions.  I've all of Gordon Goodwin's recordings.  Guess what?  My favorite watering genius, Bernie Grundman.

This double album does not appear in my 20  albums collection of these marvellous jazz musicians ...

Thanks for the information ...

Years long quest for Toshiko Akyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band "Road Time" CD x 2 resolved! Beautifully digitally remastered with all of the richness and glory of premier remote tape recording.

How I miss live big band music.

My wife and I's first real date was to see Woody Herman and his Thundering Herd at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver and it was magical. We also saw Buddy Rich and his band there a few years later  and I don't know who was more grumpy. Woody or Buddy.

If anyone wants to understand what real music sounds like, there is nothing to compare live big band music.
