Product description

Woody Herman & The Thundering Herd's "Herd At Montreux" captures the raw energy and virtuosity of one of jazz's most celebrated big bands in a historic live performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 6, 1974. Recorded at the unconventional hour of 3:30 a.m., this album is a testament to the band's electrifying stage presence and Herman's masterful leadership. The setlist includes dynamic interpretations of classics like "I Can't Get Next To You" and "Superstar," alongside the iconic "Fanfare For The Common Man," showcasing the band's versatility and precision. The album, originally released in 1974, blends big band swing, cool jazz, and a touch of jazz-funk, offering a thrilling snapshot of Woody Herman's innovative approach to jazz. With a runtime of just over 35 minutes, "Herd At Montreux" is a concise yet powerful showcase of Herman's enduring influence on the genre.

This LP was released in 1976.

    Another thing I noticed about the album cover, apart from all the young guys in the Herd. On the cover, Woody's seen playing a clarinet. But according to the liner notes, he only played sax on the record. I suppose we've got to figure the photo was snapped during a tune that didn't make it onto the album.

    Another thing I noticed about the album cover, apart from the younger guys featured in the Herd. On the cover, Woody is seen playing a clarinet. However, the liner notes mention he only played sax throughout the album. I suppose we have to assume the photo was taken while recording a track that didn't make it to the final album.

    According to the liner notes, the band hit the stage at 3 AM. Woody is amazing! Give this album and "Light My Fire" a spin. Top-notch music!

    The sleeve notes say the band hit the stage at 3am. Woody is amazing! Give this record and 'Light My Fire' a spin. Top-notch material!

    Noticed something else about the cover besides the younger guys in the Herd. It shows Woody holding a clarinet, but the liner notes say he only played sax on the album. I suppose we have to figure the photo was taken during a song that didn't make it to the record.

His career spanned decades, from the swing era to the cool jazz movement, leaving an indelible mark on American music. Herman's bands were known for their exhilarating performances, lifting the music and the audience to new heights.
