[Dixielandjazz] Woody Herman

[Bert Brandsma]

There is a lovely biography about Woody Herman, written by Gene Lees.
Can recommend that book strongly to anyone interested in Woody and his various bands.Or even about anyone who is interested in taxes and music..........

Kind regards,

> Back in the 60s and 70s when the Musician’s union had some balls, every year they would hire a big band for a big party. One year it was Woody Herman’s band. 
> 
> I was very disappointed because he had a whole band made up of young musicians playing new, more modern charts. Also had a keyboard that sounded like a keyboard in those years. I wanted to hear the old Woody Herman that I was familiar with on records.  
> 
> I’d like to be at that concert now as of course through the years my musical taste and understanding has changed. I’m sure I would enjoy the band much more now. 
> 
> One of my all-time favorites was “Wild Apple Honey.” I don’t know which version it was. I purchased a LP with it one time and it wasn’t the wild version that I had heard on the radio.  
> 
> Back then in the 60s, there was a Jazz show on all night. On our way home from gigs we’d stop and call the DJ and request that he play that version. It was “Wild.”
