"Robert Kiebel gives the reader an excellent picture of the unique insight of Woody Herman and his musicians as they worked together for over fifty years and incorporated the changing styles of pop and jazz music into Woody's jazz band." --Bill Byrn "A remarkable book. Blue Flame is an engrossing journey through the corridors of the Woody Herman era. Mr. Kriebel writes brilliantly." --Al Julian "There is a great deal of information that has not appeared before under a single cover. There are new and different viewpoints and attitudes that will surely stimulate and encourage new scholarship." --David Baker
"All we do is try to create some kind of mood, and hope somebody digs it" was how the likeable and talented jazzman Woody Herman (1913-87) explained his success. For an incredible fifty years and four months, Herman led a variety of always changing, always young and exciting bands. And he did so with style. In Blue Flame, noted regional biographer Robert C. Kriebel devotes his admiring attention to documenting Herman's life and music. No aspect of Herman's career escapes his gaze: the musicians - both famous and obscure who played in his bands, the music they played, the writers and arrangers of that music, the famous recordings, and the ups and downs of band life from the big-band heyday of the 1930s through half a century of changing tastes and changing times. The result of Kriebel's painstaking research is an accurate and detailed picture of the strenuous and frustrating life of a big-band leader - a life that Herman himself characterized as "a big pain . . . you're victimized before you even start, and it never lets up. There is no life, there is no home." Passion for the music, music-making, musicians, and fans kept Herman going. Kriebel captures these trials and passions for the reader in lively prose that includes a chronological listing of recordings, an informal journal of the travels and performances of Herman's various bands, a roster of musicians, and valuable old and recent photographs.
