Adding a Spotify link for anyone who wants to hear this stunning late 50s recording of a big band jazz/swing classic 👍.
Woody Herman - “Woodchoppers Ball” Big Bands of the Swinging Years Song released in 1958. Compilation released in 1971. Jazz / Swing / Big Band     
Woody Herman was one of the most prolific jazzmen of the 20th century. A clarinetist and saxophonist at age 12, he picked up the skills to be a blues singer and at age 23 was leading his first band on Decca, one of the 20th century’s most prolific record labels.
In 1939, Herman’s band struck its first hit with “Woodchoppers Ball,” but the success did not come immediately. Decca had to re-release it a number of times before it became a giant smash, eventually selling over five million copies. Perhaps this song was ahead of its time.
But this isn’t the original recording of “Woodchoppers Ball”. No, this recording is from nearly 20 years later, when Herman and the legendary Tito Puente decided to record an album together called Herman’s Heat & Puente’s Beat. But don’t get your hopes up, because Mr. Puente is absent from this particular recording.
However, this is still a masterful piece of big band jazz, better than the original, in my estimation, and around 80 seconds longer, too. With a band that boasts sixteen members(!), Herman and company do a wonderful job of alternating between loud splashes of furious sound and calmer, isolated solos.
The real treat, however, is the final push, when the band builds from just Major Holley’s double bass rhythm and Al Planck’s light piano twinkles to a full roar. The original rhythm that opens the song is reintroduced and gradually, each remaining member passionately reenters the fray, resulting in a breathtaking and powerful wealth of satisfying, finger-snappin’ sound.
One of the greatest big band songs ever made. Astoundingly good.
