Big Band Session 1974 2005-12-15
For those people who happen to have ahh la Broughton Bill's Ballad's...plus! these are pictures of the session that those big band pieces were recorded on.
As usual, lot's of guys were photographed from the back, but in this picture you can almost see some faces.
Just closing the door behing him entering the studio is my dear friend Shelly Cohen who was the assistant music conductor behind Doc Severinsen and the famous Tonight Show Orchestra in the USA.
The sax section from the left was Jackie Kelso one of the true great jazz players I've ever met, Tommy Newsom not just a sax player but an arranger and musician of the highest standard, Bill Calkins with flute in hand and John Lowe on the end with his Baritone sax.
Over in the trumpet section you can barely make out George Werth and Uan Rasey and in the glasses, if you can make it out on the far right is Johnny Audino. Unseen in that particular section is Warren Leuning but he can be heard on the tracks just fine.
Though the trombone players are not seen along with the rhythm guys...I remember a very young Alan Kaplan, Jim Sawyer on tenors and Craig Ware on bass trombone. They're the guys that took the place of the last generation of players.
I remember Larry Bunker on timps and I think Mike Melvoin was on piano!
Gosh this seems like ages ago. That's probably because it was. This was my first investment into a recording session and all we could afford was four tunes which ultimately, nearly 25 years later, ended up on the ahh la Broughton Bill's Ballads...plus! album.
