Woody Herman - Road Band '1955 [2005]

Tracks list

Membran presents a 20 CD series of jazz productions that were originally
released in long play format 12-inch vinyl believed to have gone missing. These
classics, gems and long-lost rarities were from selected sessions from the
beginning of the 1950s, when musicians first started taking advantage of the
revolutionary possibility of extended improvising on longer titles - which is
why the series contains many jam sessions and superstars. Booklets contain
discographical details, which were often missing from the original LP covers.

Woody Herman justly deserves a special place in the jazz hall of fame, not only
as a clarinet- or alto saxophone soloist - he was also an outstanding band
leader. Time and time again he discovered fantastic new jazz talents, and
engaged them for his various Big Bands. In addition he had a discriminating ear
for new tones in jazz and smartly integrated them into the sound of his several
bands.
