Woody Herman, reed man and leader of the many Herds, would have been 100 years old today. Herb Caen always wrote interesting items about his visits to San Francisco. I enjoyed all of Woody's music that I got to hear, but the Four Brothers period is my favorite. He was often ahead of his time. He had Dizzy Gillespie write arrangements in 1942.
