AGAIN....I ask... ... ( 5 months ago by trojanline)

AGAIN....I ask...Did anyone notice the bassoon at 2:29? WTF?!!? GO North Texas Jazz!!!!

Actually I believe ... ( 5 months ago by ntsualum)

Actually I believe this was arranged by Tony Klatka before Lyle attended North Texas.

Interesting! I ... ( 5 months ago by pickupdropov)

Interesting! I thought that Lyle was credited with it on the NTS Grammy winning album that your - you're probably more in the loop than I - anyway - Long Live Lyle!

I dont know what is better, this one or maynards!

They speak very highly of you.

look at Jon Faddis, he looks so young but he a SCREAMING BEAST!!! He Makes it look so easy

Are you SURE this ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

Are you SURE this was arranged by Lyle Mays ?? The 'way' he is playing and the arrangement itself does not sound like would have been written by him ??

Which one is Jim ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

Which one is Jim Pugh ?? i am dying to know as i know very little of him (except that he plays on my favourite 'Return To Forever' live album of 1977 !!)

BASSOON ??? Er, ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

BASSOON ??? Er, you really got me there mate !! ??

This definitely is ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

This definitely is by far the best arrangement i have ever heard. Esp because the TEMPO is high (even more so than Chick's !!) and the harmony/voicings compliment both the composer and the spirit of the piece.
But, i do really wish it was longer (ie. the 'solo sections' opened up).

Nice little 10 x ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

Nice little 10 x bar 'sax soli' @ 3:02 !! Gotta be worth a quick mention !!

YES!!! There IS a ... ( 4 months ago by obwheeler)

YES!!! There IS a bassoon at 2:29...look in front of the bass player. You can see the top of it sticking up across the bass player's body.

Lyle was writing ... ( 4 months ago by pickupdropov)

Lyle was writing big band arrangements as a teen and this sounds very much like his arrangements when he was a student at Eau Claire WI under Dom Spera. He was also listening to Chick Corea at the same time when Tones for Jones Bones and Inner Space were being released.
You may still be right - I need to do some more digging. Thanks much for keeping the conversation alive.

Gotcha !! Ha Ha .. ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

Gotcha !! Ha Ha ........ i was LISTENING for it rather than looking !! i thought, uh, how on earth can anyone HEAR than (backing line) under the rhythm sections blowing ????

This was arranged ... ( 4 months ago by ntsualum)

This was arranged by Tony Klatka (trumpet) and released in 1973 on the award winning "Giant Steps' album. Lyle Mays was a prodigy before he ever set foot on the NTSU campus but he didn't arrange this one.

Thanks (ntsualum) ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

Thanks (ntsualum) for clearing that one up !! i knew/felt it was not a piano-players arrangement. Personally, i would have guessed it was written by a trombonist.
i was not aware of the 'Giant Steps' album either.

Well, it was ... ( 4 months ago by ntsualum)

Well, it was released on cd a couple decades later so go for it....still great music!!!

There is a cd of ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

There is a cd of this for sale (less than 10 bucks) on ebay US and the store has 74 copies available !!

What a lousy video! ... ( 4 months ago by karlhelge2005)

What a lousy video! But what great music! What this man, Woody, did for jazz, but not only for jazz, is unbeleavable. From the 40th until his death he gave generations of young musicians a platform to perform, to create new music and to start a big career.
Never forget: he was the leader, but his love was music and his musicians!
Great men, always to be remembered.

Is the same version ... ( 4 months ago by monsterjazzlicks)

Is the same version as on the cd "Giant Steps"?? Or are they totally different recordings (and maybe even bands) ??

that AIN'T Faddis, ... ( 4 months ago by bigpapi1952)

that AIN'T Faddis, dude.........

Bigpapi1952.. You sound great on this man. Lead Trumpets always lead the way and your were right on the button on this one. I'm a trombone player and played with 2 of the guys on this band in later days, I'm happy I found this! Cool Stuff.. Take Care... Roy V

Thanks guys! I ... ( 3 months ago by bigpapi1952)

Thanks guys! I appreciate the 'respect', even 30 years later! Let me add that the trpt section here is one of the best ever! I was very lucky, as a 'rookie', to have these guys to keep me grounded.
