The Jacquet Files, Vol. 5: Big Band Live at the Village Vanguard 1987 - In 1981 Tenor Sax legend Illinois Jacquet pursued his career-long dream of assembling a truly great big jazz band in the tradition of his mentors, Count Basie and Lionel Hampton, bands with whom he recorded and toured in his youth. He would apply all the wisdom and experience he gleaned as their sideman, as well as from his years of leadership over his many small groups, and would include songs he made famous with his 'little big band' of the 1940s. - Acoustic Bass - Fred Hunter, Alto Saxophone - Jesse Davis, Alto Saxophone, Clarinet - Joseph Cavaseno, Baritone Saxophone - Rudy Rutherford, Drums - Clyde Lucas, Piano - Richard Wyands, Tenor Saxophone - Babe Clark, Eddie Barefield, Tenor Saxophone, Leader, Alto Saxophone - Illinois Jacquet, Trombone - Frank Lacy, Kiane Zawadi, Robert Trowers
