One of the greats...
I played this chart many many many times and it was always great to do it. Well when I worked in Las Vegas from 1969 to 1974, I played a lot of Bill´s charts with different singers. I remember Edie Adams, I think her her whole book was Bills writing . For me, this was one of the greatest writers ever. With a really great sense of humour! And he played some pretty good tenor saxophone!
What to say? Everything is so devilishly well incorporated into the grand scheme, yet the musicians get to improvise and show their personalities. It's America's art form: Jazz
What can I say after that? Great every thing, and every one.
👏👏👏
Go Carl Saunders on lead trumpet! RIP
Who’s the piano player ?
John Campbell
They probably spent weeks and weeks every day practicing this
Highly doubt that.
Of course they did. American bands don’t play anything unless they’ve rehearsed the shit out of it
@@jonburton1935 You're a freakin' genius......in your own mind.
Dies being a moron come naturally or do you have to practice?
You must know absolutely NOTHING about music if you think these guys didn’t rehearse the crap out of this stuff before shoving the shit on the internet.
You really think they’d upload something that sounds like total shite?
Not necessarily. Studio band/orchestral players are generally fantastic readers. It can take one or two takes to nail the entire recording if it's not too long. Of course more takes will be needed to spruce up the performance.
What a crappy arrangement. Possibly well played. But shite for sure.
