Boo Yaka! Boo Yaka!
As you know, Pops, Herman was the reason I got into Jazz, hearing his "Giant Steps" album in a high school music theory class. My opinion is that Herman is often overlooked by many, and that's a shame. When I stream Jazz stations from around the world, I rarely if ever hear Woody. Glen Woodcock's "Big Band Jazz Show" from CJRT Toronto is the exception. Glen plays his fair share of Herman. I told Glen (via email) that the Herman Album "Giant Steps" got me into Jazz and he devoted his "Vinyl Corner" to that album for me and mentioned me on the air. Blew me away. What a class guy. He's been doing that show since 1977.
