Woody Herman & His Orchestra, featuring Stan GetzFour Brothers |

This tune highlights four saxes in an arrangement conceptualized by its composer, Jimmy Giuffre. Himself a master saxophonist (though not heard on this track), Giuffre created a voicing and timbre effect using three tenors and a baritone. It was embraced by many orchestras and went on to become the sound of Woody Herman's second "Herd." There are six reeds in that particular Herman aggregation. Besides lead alto, we even get a clarinet solo from the band leader. The greater glory rests with the section work--solos and exchanges between these four "brothers": tenors Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and Herbie Stewart, and baritone Serge Chaloff. (J. Giuffre); Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Herbie Steward, tenor saxophone; Serge Chaloff, baritone saxophone; Woody Herman, clarinet; Sam Marowitz, alto saxophone; Stan Fishelson, Bernie Glow, Marky Markowitz, Shorty Rogers, trumpet; Ernie Royal, trumpet; Bob Swift, Earl Swope, Ollie Wilson, trombone; Fred Otis, Gene Sargent, Walter Yoder, Don Lamond, drums. Solos: Sims; Chaloff; Steward; Getz; Herman; breaks at end: Getz, Sims, Steward, Chaloff; Rec. Los Angeles, December 27, 1947. Columbia 38304 (mx. HCO 3061-1); Originally Released 1948  |
