I like Oscar Brown Junior. Usually when a jazz show has a host, it detracts from the performance, yet he enhances it and is interesting. I also like his singing.
Here's a guess: TRP: D Smith, M Stamm, B Behrendt, K Lamotte, B Rolfe * TRBN: B Fitzpatrick, B Parker, J Amlotte, D Wheeler * MELLO: G Roland, R Starling, D Carver, C Saunders * SAX: G Baltazar, C Mariano, R Florian, A Beutler J Kaye * Piano: Stan, Bass: V Kolar, Drums: D Barton
What a find! Thank you. Could you publish the roster of the band? I see familiar faces from the College Years but I'm having trouble connecting faces with names.
I agree. Dee Barton was a great trombonist and arranger. As a drummer, frankly he sucked. The cymbals were overbearing. I also missed Jerry MacKenzie here.
All the things you are, absolutely gorgeous!
One of talented Steve Allen's tv productions back in the day
Thanks for posting, one of the better things I've seen on youtube.
Missed this one of Kenton. It's very much damned good. The daddy of modern jazz at his peak.

And a Bill Holman arrangement on Limehouse Blues. I've loved this arrangement since I heard it on long distance radio many years ago on DX

HOW GOOD WAS STANS OPENING POWERFUL HE WAS THE REBEL OF BIG BANDS 4 SURE
Unlike any other big band I know. Good of Oscar Brown to mention all arrangers!
Frank Sinatra was good about that also.
Who are all of the musicians?
Great band, exciting "wall of sound." The Hawthorne Caballeros copied this arrangement of "Malaguena" note-for-note.
They really miss Jerry Mckenzie on drums here,Dee Barton should have stuck to trombone.
NOT a drummer! Control that DAMN ride cymbal Dee! He bashes rather than plays. That is why they sound so DEAD!!
Barton is just noise. It's a tribute to the bands professionalism that Malagueña doesn't simply come apart.
