The man with all that soul, my man Otis! This is a fantastic recording with a very tight touring band. Anybody know who was in it? The drummer hardly moves on the stool, but really drives the group with that fat back. Ready Steady Go Tv from 1967.
From the shortlived live jazz show sunday night. Hosted by Jools Holland, Dave Sanborn. The resident Sunday Night band -- and what a band! -- consisted of Marcus Miller on bass (also musical director of the show), Omar Hakim on drums, Hiram Bullock on guitar and Phillipe Saisse on keyboards. This show ran in 1988. Dizzy was the main guest.
At pre-lims I prefer to get in the bell of the horns since I dont get to go very often. Here is most of Star's great program for 1989. Henry V Amazon * Song Without Words (I'll Love My Love) * Fantasia On The Dargason * Crown Imperial
The Green Street Mortuary Brass Band led by Lisa Pollard.
The Green Street Band is noted for its fine musicianship as the band leads dignified processions through San Francisco's Chinatown. This was recorded about 2001.
This is a 1991 performance with Gov Doug Wilder in attendance. Overall good show except for the stinker on the fanfare. The mike must have been right in the 3rd trumpets bell! "Baby got back". Is that still the expression used these days?
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY FROM MAYNARD FERGUSON . THIS WAS RECORDED JULY 4th 2003 AT THE "TASTE OF MINNESOTA " , ST PAUL MINNESOTA. KEVIN MEADS, PATRICK HESSION, AND LARRY FOYEN IN TRUMPET SECTION.
A Knight at the Apollo - Can't Turn You Loose * Respect * I Feel Good * . This was recorded in Birhamingham, Al at the DCI South prelims. I loved this corps as did many others. In fact countless high school and college bands duplicated this great motown themed show, some almost note for note. I will be posting some of them later.
"Spring really hangs you up the most" composers are Fran Landesman (lyrics) and Tommy Wolf (music). A great rendition by Andrew Hill with the ABAC Jazz Ensemble at the Montreux "Under the skys" festival stage.
This recording was made in Birmingham,Al at the 1989 DCI South prelims. Great Jazz sound from one of the best. Sorry no drill shots, but who wants to see that when you can get your face in the bell of the screaming sopranos ?!! Starts off with Sammy Nestico's "You gotta Try" Johnny One note at the end.

The Drum Major entrance of the Albany State University Marching Rams from Albany,Ga. Taken at a game against Valdosta State University 1995. From the sound of the band, it seems it is before Dr. Walker started working with them musically.
