If you're going to jazzify Peanut Vendor, you'd better pull it off. This is nothing, just whomped-up big band pizzaz like an arrangement for a tv show. Why the hell a big band would want to do this to the clave feeling in the original is beyond me -- I think it's a syndrome that happens to musicians when they have spent many many too many hours just doing sight reading exercises. After horrendous hours of boring sight reading, any kind of whomped-up fluff turns their crank.
@@rmo52 And as I'd say to Woody and to you, Pal, "it's called blowing it". Don't be fooled by someone being a pro musician and band leader -- some of those guys don't have any feeling for music, they're just proficient robots that have come out of many too many years of endless sight-reading exercises. This rendition of Peanut Vendor misses the music so totally it's just an empty, useless exercise for all concerned, and certainly not anything that anyone should try to pass of as "variety" -- it's a mediocre failure of an attempt to be (regressively) distinctive. If that isn't screamingly evident to your ears, you don't have the feel for the vast area of music that Peanut Vendor / El Manisero is a beautiful example of. No one should put together such a useless, empty version of such a great chart -- it's a huge backward step and if you tell youngsters it's progressive or adds something, you're just sending those naive youngsters with their under-developed ears down the road to nowheresville.
@@clivegaby7775 And you don't think he'd have bad moves sometimes in pushing the boundaries? There's no point in stylizing Peanut Vendor into nothing, it's a waste of everyone's time. And, in answer to your question about what do I know, I was raised in jazz musician family. From newborn on I was raised on Dixie, swing and Latin music. Family friends from my earliest memories on were jazz musicians, singers, and some Afro-Caribbean dancers in Katherine Dunhim's style. My brother became a jazz drummer, I played Afro-Latin percussion in 15-piece Latin bands and in jazz blues bands with horns, and I am a dancer in multiple styles, and a sometimes choreographer. So i answer to your question, that's what I know. How about you? What do you know about 2-3 clave in mambos such as Peanut Vendor?
Pianist JOHN ODDO arranged PEANUT VENDOR (John Oddo: 1953-2019/RIP). WIKI: On July 6, 1980, Oddo joined the Herd along with John Fedchock, Steve Horrow, and Mike Brignola. Oddo would quickly become a star in the long line of pianists/arrangers for Herman dating back to Ralph Burns, Nat Pierce, and Alan Broadbent; he would serve as the band's primary arranger 1980-1984. NOTE: Per Herd Baritonist Mike Brignola, John arranged these tunes for Woody’s Band: Woody’s Gold Star, World On A String, John Brown’s Other Body, Lemon Drop, Peanut Vendor, Perdido, You Are So Beautiful, Beginning To See The Light.
Miles Davis may have been more influential, Dizzy Gillespie was goofier, and both were masters in their own right. But Clark Terry was perhaps the greatest of them all.
Het is toch ook vreselijk!! WEER ZO'N WAPPERAAR VOOR HET ORKEST. QUA KLEDING ZIET HIJ ER UIT ALSOF HIJ ZO UIT HET CAFÉ KOMT. IS ER NOU NIEMAND VAN HET MANAGEMENT VAN HET ORKEST DIE DAAR EEN BEETJE OP LET? In mijn tijd was dat wel anders..... Heb trouwens gehoord dat de dirigent inmiddels is aangesteld als verkeersregelaar voor de van G-kazerne....
Goede keuze uiteraard Mr.Q, èèn der beste orkestleiders ter wereld....Het kan aan mij liggen, maar zodra het een beetje Funky wordt is het mij nog wat statisch..Funk is een stijl, waar men per definitie moet stuwen.. De negâh, groove...
De Koninklijke Militaire Kapel en de Johan Willem Frisokapel, toen nog niet samengevoegd, spelen de mars "Le régiment du Sambre et Meuse" van Robert Jean Julien Planquette. Die samenvoeging heb ik nooit begrepen, net zo min als de standplaats. De Koninklijke Militaire Kapel hoort in de residentie, Den Haag dus, thuis.
De mars vanaf 0:15 heet El Torico de la Cuerda, deze heb ze ook uitgevoerd bij de Nat. Taptoe 2009. Daar stond ooit een mooi filmpje van op RU-vid, maar dat kan ik helaas niet meer vinden.
Dank voor de info, vond het een leuke verspreking, dat was het dus niet, maar ik zat wel in de richting. Beiden uitstekende muzikanten, zit zeker in de genen. Ik zie trouwens Patrick Curfs ooit nog wel hoge ogen gooien bij de opvolging van Jos Pommer.
Broers inderdaad, broer Patrick Curfs is saxofonist bij de Kapel van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht. Maar de speaker vergiste zich niet, de microfoon ging iets te laat open bij 'op trompet...'
