Cherokee -- Warren Vache 2001
This is another one of these sparkling tunes that can only be played so well by musicians of the greatest caliber. Here at the 2001 Bern Jazz Festival in Switzerland we see a group under the leadership of one of the best modern swing players in the world, yes, Warren Vache. Warren in this clip plays the fluegelhorn. with him are John Allred trombone, Bill Easby tenor sax, Jesse Davis alto sax, Steve Ash piano, James Chirillo guitar, Kater Betts bass and Alvin Queen drums.
As a more or less retired cornet player myself I am always interested but was particularily impressed and moved by the flamboyant horn solo of Warren.
( What is flamboyant? I had to look up some of 'em: ornate, ardor, florid, showy, bombastic, replendent, flames of brilliance and intense passion or emotion)
