He performed throughout the 1930s until his death in 1987. His band scored hits with &#039;&#039;Woodchopper&#039;s Ball&#039;&#039; (1939) and &#039;&#039;Blues in the Night&#039;&#039; (1942). <br /> <br /> [[Igor Stravinsky]] composed his &#039;&#039;Ebony Concerto&#039;&#039; (1946) for Woody Herman&#039;s band to perform. <br /> <br /> [[Ronnie Cuber]] and [[Bruce Fowler]] played in Herman&#039;s band on the album &#039;&#039;Somewhere&#039;&#039; (1969).&lt;ref&gt;https://www.united-mutations.com/h/woody_herman.htm&lt;/ref&gt; In the 1970s, [[Allan Zavod]] also played with Herman.<br /> <br /> ==Frank Zappa and Woody Herman== <br /> <br /> Woody Herman and [[The Mothers]] played on the same bill at the National Academy of Recording Art and Science dinner in New York (1968), where [[Duke Ellington]] was in the audience too. Zappa was somewhat insulted that the program read: &#039;&#039;Music by Woody Herman; Entertainment by The Mothers of Invention&#039;&#039; and deliberately played &#039;&#039;ugly&#039;&#039; music to offend those in attendance (See also the article &#039;&#039;[[Mothers’ Lament: &quot;They Called Us Entertainment&quot;]]&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;[[They&#039;re Doing the Interview of the Century, Part 2]]&#039;&#039;). According to Zappa, Herman told him: &#039;&#039;&quot;When you get tired of that dip shit label you’re on, why don’t you come and make a deal with Columbia Masterworks.&quot;&#039;&#039; Zappa:&#039;&#039;&quot;I thought that was kind of nice of him.&quot;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> In 1974, Woody Herman covered Zappa&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[America Drinks &amp; Goes Home]]&#039;&#039; on his album &#039;&#039;Thundering Herd&#039;&#039;. <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Woody Herman]]<br /> * [https://www.united-mutations.com/h/woody_herman.htm United Mutations page.]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Jazz Composers|Herman, Woody]]<br /> [[Category:Clarinetists|Herman, Woody]]<br /> [[Category:Singers|Herman, Woody]]<br /> [[Category:Saxophonists|Herman, Woody]]<br /> [[Category:Tributes &amp; Covers|Herman, Woody]]<br /> [[Category:Celebrity Fans|Herman, Woody]]</div>
