   Plays Chick, Donald, Walter & Woodrow - The Woody Herman Band   
   This was released by Century 2000 Records (CR-1110) on vinyl in 1978   
   and later in 1991 on CD (CJCD 830) by BBC Enterprises Ltd in the UK.   
   The record features:   
   Suit For A Hot Band (Chick Corea)   
   Deacon Blues   
   Green Earrings   
   Kid Charlemagne   
   I got The News   
   Aja   
   FM   
      
   From AllMusicGuide   
   "In keeping with his policy of featuring his orchestra on modern   
   material, Herman had his band play compositions by Chick Corea (the   
   three movements of "Suite for a Hot Band") and the team of Donald   
   Fagen and Walter Becker (co-leaders of Steely Dan). In reality, the   
   orchestra's solos are more impressive than the compositions with Tom   
   Scott taking a couple of guest spots and the other strong voices   
   including Joe Lovano and Frank Tiberi on tenors, baritonist Bruce   
   Johnstone and Herman himself on soprano and clarinet. It's a worthy   
   but not particularly memorable effort."   
      
   Never found it myself either.
