Woody Herman And His Third Herd

Band, US
Jazz

American jazz ensemble, active from 1950 until June 1955. In April 1950, after dissolving Woody Herman & The Second Herd due to internal problems (e.g. some of the members were addicted to drugs), Woody Herman & The Second Herd founded his third herd, keeping the 'Four Brothers-Sound' by four saxophonists. The group was active until its disbandment by Woody Herman end of June 1955 in order to form Woody Herman And His Octet/Woody Herman And The Las Vegas Herd. On new year's eve 1955, the orchestra was followed up by Woody Herman And The Fourth Herd, which was sometimes also called 'The New Third Herd'.
