[verse 1]
this is an orchestra
a group of musicians gathered together
because of a belief in a particular music
like all orchestras, this organization is unique
in that the artistic ideal is far more important than personal differences
these musicians, for this instance, came from all corners of america
the character of the music to follow is the result of their understanding
and adjustment to each other
some of this music is written, some is improvised
there are times when a musician will express his individuality
and other moments when he will melt with the rest
to create an organized sound
this is a cross_section view of this orchestra

[verse 2]
some musicians love to create sounds of percussion
they like to melt them with the melody
they have the ability to bring to life strong rhythmic swing
and pour it into others
that’s a rhythm section
takes a bass player
ours, don bagley
another guy, he loves a melody just as he loves a beat
a guitar player, sal salvador
another, a strong determined will, continued spirit
a great obligation to the beat
a drummer, stan levey
[verse 3]
some musicians are not content just to play an instrument in an orchestra
this guy arranges, he composes, he wants to be a leader
someday he will, bill russo
a young guy, keith moon
some musicians have a zest for happy excitement
this fellow has few, if any, quiet moody moments
his trombone playing is an honest reflection of himself
frank rosolino

[trombone solo]

[verse 4]
very necessary to an orchestra is the constant presence of young musicians
with their eager enthusiasm that are just getting started
guys like trumpeters ruben mcfall and don dennis
an orchestra needs good first_chair men
they’re like sergeants to an army
they’ve studied, they know how
they help their men and they show how
like our first saxophone player, vinnie dean

[alto saxophone solo]

[verse 5]
that announced the tenor saxophone of bill holman, playing now
he represents a talent that is discontented with music of the present
he’s anxious over the future
he writes, he orchestrates too
within the group of personalities that make up an orchestra
it’s also necessary that we have guys that are
are willing to be happy and swing at the drop of a hat
richie kamuca
[tenor saxophone solo]

[verse 6]
an asset to any group like this is the presence of versatility
a musician capable of creating all moods
at the moment, warm melting personal sounds
conte candoli

[trumpet solo]

[verse 7]
within any group of musicians you’ll find men who are in constant study
it seems that perfection is not enough
they want even more
they are intent on achieving greater heights
fellows like lee konitz

[alto saxophone solo]

[verse 8]
and then there’s a baritone saxophone
but in the case of this instrument, i’d like to be personal
the fellow playing here has been a part of every sound
since this orchestra began
bob gioga
[baritone saxophone solo]

[verse 9]
a great first trumpet player
besides his schooling, technique and experience
must possess wonderful physical stamina
they’re sometimes referred to as workhorses
meet ours, buddy childers

[trumpet solo]

[verse 10]
a bass trombone is the bottom of an orchestra
wait a minute, george roberts
i said “bottom”
that’s better
a first trombone can take black notes on dead paper
and bring wonderful life to them
meet ours, bob burgess

[trombone solo]

[verse 11]
there are a few musicians, and we’re lucky ’cause we have one
capable of stirring great feelings of fire
maynard ferguson

[trumpet solo]

[verse 12]
me? i’m stan kenton
i’m the piano player and i’m the leader
the guys call me “the old man”
they look to me for many things
a plan, final decisions, encouragement
and, oh yes, another thing: money

[verse 13]
with high regard and respect for each other’s individuality
the ingredients in the variety of a group of personalities
can make a music wide in scope
from tender soft sounds to screaming [?]
this is an orchestra!
