new Strut bootleg
Rick Hirsch
The US Navy Commodores played a concert Monday at State College Area High School, which is right down the street from my house, and many of my students attend.
To my delight (and surprise!) they played two of my tunes, Giddyup! and Strut. Of course, they sounded incredible. SO locked in, yet flexible with the music.
I ‘filmed’ them playing Strut. Dig their amazing bass trombonist Matt Neff absolutely owning this music:
p.s. Sorry for the lousy video work (the audio is decent, though!)
p.p.s. Strut has been flying off the shelves. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the score, please do.
