His bands often played music that was cutting edge and experimental for it's time and their recordings received numerous Grammy nominations. No other bandleader in the history of jazz had the staying power of Woody Herman. From the Band That Plays the Blues, through the many \"Herds\" that came and went from the 1940s to the 1980s, Herman managed to maintain vitality in his big bands as others ran out of steam and dropped out of the race. There were two keys to Herman's success. First, he continuously hired talented young players and arrangers. Second, he refused to lead a nostalgia band that played only hits of the past. The result was an ensemble that was always fresh and exciting, musically sharp, and - especially notable from the 1960s on, as rock music was eclipsing jazz - popular. This collection features eight of Woody Herman's best albums, released originally between 1952 and 1963. An ideal compilation of Herman's best re-masters ever compiled, this collection is both an ideal starting point for beginners to the great man's music, an, equally, an extraordinary reminder of some of the best jazz ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sweet and Lonely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Superman with a Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bijou\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wild Root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Four Men on a Horse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Your Father's Moustache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Good Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mean to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Man I Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Panacea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blowin' Up a Storm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Everywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hallelujah!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Heads Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Non-Alcoholic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Caldonia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Goof and I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Keen and Peachy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Four Others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blame Boehm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mulligan Tawny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Third Herd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 920 Special\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bags' Other Groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Broadway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jumpin' at the Woodside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wailing Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bass Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Junior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Opus De-Funk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Remember Duke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sentimental Journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cool Cat on a Hot Tin Roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Where or When\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Captain Ahab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'll Never Be the Same\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pimlico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blue Station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pillar to Post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Midnight Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Woodchopper's Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Balu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lullaby of Birdland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Latin Flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New Cha-Cha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mambo Herd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cha-Cha Chick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tito Meets Woody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Carioca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summer Sequence (Parts 1-4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sidewalks of Cuba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Caldonia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lady McGowan's Dream (Parts 1 ; 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Back Talk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Everywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Good Earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Four Brothers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Like Some Blues Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Skoobeedoobee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Monterey Apple Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Skylark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Magpie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mo-Lasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blues for J.P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Get Around Much Anymore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tunin' in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sister Sadie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sig Ep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's a Lonesome Old Town (When You're Not Around)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Camel Walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521938657554,"sku":"823564035680","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/his-finest-albums-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
