This was from about 1977. The best trumpet section, IMHO, MF had: Joe Mosello, Stan Mark, Dennis Noday, and Ron Tooley. Dig Peter Erskine on drums..dynamite.
Another clip from the Canadian Stage Band Festival. If you had never seen Primal Scream live, it was much better than the recorded version.. IMHO. Mark Colby is the sax soloist, Gordon Johnson bass, and Joe Mosello on the congas.
From the Budweiser Newport Jazz Festival. Soloists include MF, Daniel Jordan on tenor, Tim Ries on alto, Denis DiBlasio on baritone sax, piccolo and scat singing, Ron Pedley piano.
Another one from the 1977 Montreux concert. A Basie classic featuring Eric Dixon, the lead trumpet of Lin Biviano and some great drumming by Butch Miles
I know this was posted on YouTube before, but the video was a poor quality. Just wanted to put up a little better clip. This is probably one of the best clips of MF playing Maria, absolutely incredible.
From 1971. Pat LaBarbera on tenor, and Jeff Stout on trumpet. The mute Jeff was using started to fall out of his trumpet and Lin Biviano pulled it out. A great arrangement
From a video done in Germany. Have always really liked this tune. Trumpets are Al Porcino, Lynn Nicholson (fresh from MF's band), Earl Gardner and Frank Gordon
One of the few times that Snooky was featured. "Ain't Whatcha Do". I think the whole band enjoyed watching/listening to Snooky, section mate John Audino especially. This is really, really nice.
