Good sound. The big bands just couldn’t compete financially with four piece bands with big amplifiers.

This youngster knows Barnet well, grew up with some Barnet sheet music (BLue Bird collection?) in the house. Cherokee tenor solo is one of my favorites.

The “head,” with Charlie playing soprano lead, is a terrific sound. Also, for those who are really interested in Charlie’s life story, his autobiography, “Those Swing Years,” is a great read.

I have a retrospective of Charlie’s work right above my Charlie Parker in iTunes. ;)
