Woody Herman And The Las Vegas Herd - Jackpot

Review by Maysa Leão

Woody Herman and the Las Vegas Herd's album Jackpot is a masterpiece of big band jazz. The album features a collection of classic jazz standards, including "Take the A Train" and "In the Mood," as well as original compositions by Herman and other members of the band. The musicianship on the album is outstanding, with Herman's clarinet leading the way and the rest of the band providing solid support. The arrangements are tight and well-executed, with each instrument contributing to the overall sound. The album's standout tracks include "Caldonia," with its infectious groove, and the Latin-infused "Mambo Herd." Jackpot is a must-have for fans of big band jazz and a testament to the enduring legacy of Woody Herman and his orchestra.

About Woody Herman And The Las Vegas Herd

In June 1955, disbanded due to internal stress and a lucrative offer from the Las Vegas Riviera Hotel to be the resident big band for the first three months after the hotel opening in September 1955. He formed the from the core of the third herd first. For further recording tasks, this nucleus was extended to a big band by hiring Hollywood-based musicians. This band performed once in Hollywood on November 30, 1955 to record four titles for the Capitol album 'Dance to the bands'. The Las Vegas Herd album itself was recorded the day after with the Woody Herman Octet only. Note: This big band is the extended Woody Herman Octet. The 'Las Vegas Herd'-marketed releases do contain music by the octet. This band recorded in fact only 4 titles: 'Hi Fi Drums', originally released on CAP EAP1-708 with Buddy Rich as drummer instead of Chuck Flores. 'Square Circle', 'I hadn't anyone till you' and 'Dream' originally released on Dance to the bands.
