Since the definitive three-LP box set
Thundering Herds
is out-of-print, this single CD is the best place for listeners to go first when starting to explore the music of
Woody Herman
. There are 16 selections from what was arguably his best band, his
First Herd
, and two numbers (including the original version of
"Four Brothers"
) by
The Second Herd
. A few rarities (such as "A Jug of wine" and "The Blues Are Brewing") are mixed in with such classics as "Apple Honey," "Northwest Passage," "Your Father's Mustache" and a new version of "Woodchopper's Ball," but there is unavoidably a lot missing from this single disc, a set which will have to suffice until a more complete reissue series comes along. ~ Scott Yanow
