Hello redgreenpaper,
Imo its classic *Big Band Jazz* - As Duke Ellington used to say: It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing*. Maybe my many more illustrious colleagues on this forum have a better terminology for it than I do.
Cheers,
CD

Big band for sure, leaning more towards Jazz than swing though in my opinion. The 4 trumpets cerainly got a work out!!
Would'n it be lovely eh, Big band bash those were the day's
so i guess just big band jazz or big band swing?
Yep, big band jazz...
I'm not sure about the just label? and when you get down to it the jazz label ain't quite right either as it was all performed from scoresOriginally Posted by redgreenpaper
Hi RGB,
The 1st one sounds like largescale Bebop to me, I was waiting for Charlie Parker to return at any moment (Frankly I hate the stuff).
The 2nd was what we knew as Big Band Swing in olden times (Basie for example) and to be honest not the best I've heard.
Cheers John (and welcome to the jazz forum - we seem to be getting a lot of new blood, which is great)
What about Ted Heath oldud ??
Ted Heath was more a show band when I saw him in Bournemouth in 1954, especially when compared to Ellington, Basie and Woody Herman. I saw all 3 of them at the same venue but about 20 years later, and they were still swinging.
Well Heath could swing too, I am trying to think of another Brit Big Band??

You mean like a Coilery band?
A Colliery Band? Like Grimethorpe Colliery or Black Dyke Mills?
CD Now we are talking, the old Brass bands, a great institution for a young lad to get started, I recently had a spell in Hospital and the Salvation Army Band performed on Sunday morns, probably the first time the patients had heard live music. it really lifts the spirit
by the way "jazz" is a genre, so I guess the question more accutely is: "what sub-genre of jazz is this ..."? Not sure and I AM a pedant.
