| | HERMAN, Woody : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music |
| | As often happens, the best tracks weren't necessarily the biggest hits; according to Gene Lees, Woody always said that Shorty Rogers was one of the biggest influences on the band, and his composition 'Back Talk' was one of the most successful integrations of virtuoso ensemble and improvisation. | | | The Second Herd included sleepy-heads (junkies), and some of them thought Herman himself was old-fashioned, but when the band played an arrangement by young Gerry Mulligan, he later said that Herman's solo was the only one that had anything to do with the music. | | | More than 50 Herman hit records '37-52 also included the band's theme 'Blue Flame' (named after a notorious locker room trick), and the no. 1 'Blues In The Night' '42 from a film of that name, vocal by Woody and Carolyn Grey. |

| | The Woody Herman Orchestra of today maintains the youthful vitality and versatility that characterized it in years past, mixing classics from the Herman bands of old with new charts arranged to suit the band's exuberant, hard-swinging style. | | | Today, Woody's inimitable spirit and musical legacy live on in the dynamic big band sound of the Woody Herman Orchestra under the musical direction of Frank Tiberi. | | | Herman continued to lead his big band throughout the 1960s, during which its sound became more rock-oriented as he utilized his young sidemen’s arrangements, often of current pop tunes. |
