Woody Herman–1963

Woody Herman–1963 is a 1963 studio album by Woody Herman and his big band.

[2] The album peaked at 136 on the Billboard 200.

[3] Ken Dryden reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "While this is hardly "the Swingin'est Big Band Ever," as hyped...this 1963 edition of Woody Herman's big band is a strong one, with an emphasis on well-constructed blues charts.

The only letdown of the date is Herman's throwaway vocal chorus in Chase's "Camel Walk," which follows the leader's potent clarinet solo".

[2] Dryden praised Sal Nistico's performance on "Sister Sadie" and Phil Wilson's solo on "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "It's a Lonesome Old Town (When You're Not Around)".
