KeithHall Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Kenton had all kinds of great music Buddy had Channel One Suite and other great tunes Woody had some good stuff too McConnell had TO I am going with Kenton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcalibur Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Though I have nothing against the bands listed in this poll, I would have to go with Count Basie. There are so many fun tunes, standards, or contemporary tunes that they have done it would be a treat to hear BD, Madison, or some other corps that swings bust this out.

jfmello Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Kenton, during the 'mellophonium band' years, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJS53 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I'm another Basie fanatic and I believe he has been largely overlooked by drum corps. Maybe someone has done "April in Paris" but without doing the research I can't remember for sure. How about some corps with a tight sop line doing "The Kid from Red Bank"? Buddy's stuff just seems so well suited to corps and I'd love to hear an arrangement of the Buddy/Sammy Davis "Come Back to Me". There again I think maybe some Senior corps did that one years ago. Anyone know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJS53 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) OOOOHHH! Wait a minute!!!! Just remembered a piece that would be fantastic for a corps. The late afro-cuban Mario Bauza jazz orchestra has a piece called Cubauza. This thing is so hot that if Madison did it everyone would forget about Malaguena. Well maybe not but I'm telling you this piece is friggin' ridiculous. It's on an album called 944 Columbus on the Messidor label recorded in 1993. Check it out if you can find a copy.

longfade Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Dizzy Gillespie had a pretty cool big band. And definately have to add Ellington to the list....and Don Ellis!
