16 Woody Herman: The Living Legend

With the return of the skateboard and the success of such TV shows as “Happy Days’’ and “Laverne and Shirley,’’ it seems only natural to continue the nostalgia craze with the return of the “big band.’’ However, the truth of the matter is, big bands never left.

Here to prove it will be Woody Herman and his Young Thundering Herd. Appearing in concert at Otterbein College, Thursday, September 16, at 8:15 p.m., Herman’s performance will open the 1976/1977 Artists Series. Mail orders for season tickets and for the Herman appearance will be available beginning August 25 with cross-counter sales to begin Tuesday, September 7.

Playing jazz that has never gone out of style, Herman says his young musicians are every bit as good as the musicians of his youth. Quoting his friend, Igor Stravinsky, Herman says “There are only two kinds of music, good and bad.’’

A West Coast writer probably best summed up the lack of a generation gap when it comes to Woody Herman’s music: “Woody has that marvelous ability to turn on the kids of the kids he turned on twenty-five years ago.’’

Herman’s selections are likely to include works by such contemporary small band players as Chick Corea, Eddie Harris or George Cables. He also regularly includes such Herman standards as “Laura,” “Caldonia” and “Lemon Drop.”
