My assesment is one word "SUBLIME"
Woody Herman stayed popular by staying relevant, by staying as experimental as when he started. A reading of his wiki is urged: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_herman From that I got this mention a career retro DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Woody-Herman-Flame...blue+flame << quoted only for the reviews
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghmbx1Oli4c << the word" sublime" is also used by one of the commenters.
