Woody Herman - The Golden Wedding free for downloading

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was simply pointing out the atrocious mis-spelling of Krupa's name. I agree that to my knowledge Krupa never played with Herman.

The way the band comes back in after the drum solo.  1:40  Swingin'!!

Have this song listed for my mother's funeral. One of her favourites.

love this,,, such an amazing composition

WOW. Fantastic music from one of the very best big bands of all time. Amazing sounds & so,so good. My old school mate,Alan Turnbull (one of Aussie's best drummers ) used to practice this tune constantly & he was very good. Alan played with Don Burrows / Milt Jackson / Joe Henderson / Gary Burton / Sonny Stitt / Barney Kessell / Billy Field to name a few.He appeared at Montreux,Newport Jazz Festivals & at Carnegie Hall. He began his professional career at 14yo,playing with Graham Lyall,Brian Brown etc Unfortunately he passed away about 18 months ago. He was a lovely person & a great mate & will be sadly missed,but not forgotten.

This features Frankie Carlson on drums, but the opening photo in the video is of Don Lamond-who joined the band years later, after Davey Tough left.

My favorite instrumental ever. Every second is full of surprises. Love this one.

Listened to this beautiful piece when I was 8-12 and now on my 17th birthday i've found it again! What a glorious piece of music to listen to!

I'm 62 now and I remember playing this so many times on my parents "what ever" over 50 years ago. It was one of my favourites. Still love it today. So much lost as old 78s were tossed out or converted to flower pots.

dont need an extra hole, do need a great embouchure :D its incredible; this guy does it really well too with an extra bit at the end "Andy Firth Golden Wedding"

Love it! One of my very favorites!!!!

What great sounding toms...no tape or moongel...just a beautiful open sound.

My husband played Golden Wedding many, many times while with the Tauranga big Band, he was expert on the high note ending too. I was looking forward to him playing it at our Golden Wedding in 2010 (tears) but sadly (more tears) a stroke 8 months prior to anniversay he was unable to play it

I am 16 and I love this.

This is so good! I play it nearly every day, I think it is the best number of its kind ever recorded. the drumming is fantastic.

Never get sick of hearing this ...love it !

yes its me again Pierre from Australia this rendition of Golden Wedding would be the most fantastic recording of drum playing i have always remembered from my early youth back in the 40,s[ till Ricky Nelsons 'let there be drums '] & try get the youth of today to tap along to the beat of this rhythm! bye Pierre

You have to have Swing in you to fully appreciate this music

My grandfather showed me this song back when i learnt drums in primary school, forever will hold this song in my heart ❤
