Tenor saxophone great Frank Tiberi is joined by former members of the Woody Herman Orchestra for this updated version of the famous "Four Brothers" sound. Frank is joined by Larry McKenna on tenor, John Nugent on tenor, Mike Brignola on baritone, David Berkman on piano, Lynn Seaton on bass, and Matt Wilson on drums.
The mere mention of the term "Four Brothers" flashes one to a familiar and fabled edition of Woody Herman's Orchestras-"The Second Herd", often called "The Four Brothers Band". Its concept and sound was derived from Jimmy Giuffre's piece entitled "Four Brothers"-a three tenor and one baritone saxophone voicing; it was first recorded December 27, 1947 with Stan Getz, Herbie Steward, Zoot Sims and Serge Chaloff respectively. As a signature power tune, the Herman big band has been playing it each night for over half a century.
It was sheer coincidence that "the four of us had all played in the Herman sax section and oddly each of us had joined the band at different times," observes Brignola. The intervals were spaced about ten years between one another-McKenna in the late 50's, Tiberi in 1969, Brignola in 1980, and Nugent in 1987. Brignola added: "When we put the rhythm section together, we did not intentionally recruit Woody guys, but (ironically) Dave Berkman, Lynn Seaton and Matt Wilson all played in the Herman band during the 1980's." So it's natural much of the music is driven by the aura of Herman.
An intriguing aspect of the Four Brothers concept is the broad range of personal expression it covers within the wide array of distinct personalities, and yet they blend so coherently. As a Herman syndrome, it has been successful in both capitalizing and resolving the degree of eccentricity and departures between the different soloists; e.g., on this CD from McKenna's straight ahead to Tiberi going from Cohn to Coltrane, stretching the boundaries on both ends.

Frank Tiberi
Active Decade: '90s
Born: Dec 04, 1928
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Hard Bop
Frank Tiberi has spent so much time as a sideman and eventually the leader of the Woody Herman Orchestra that it is often forgotten that he had a lengthy career long before joining Herman. Tiberi first started playing locally as a child in 1936 and he was part of a marching street band. Although he had lessons on clarinet and bassoon, Tiberi was self-taught on tenor and flute. He began playing in clubs when he was just 13 and Tiberi played with Bob Chester's Big Band (1948-49), the Benny Goodman Quintet (1954-55), Dizzy Gillespie and many other musicians on the East Coast. He worked extensively in the studios during the 1960s before joining Woody Herman's Orchestra in 1969. Frank Tiberi remained with Herman during the clarinetist's last 18 years and, since Woody's death in 1987, he has been the leader of the big band. The Herman Orchestra, although not recording again until the late '90s, has continued touring on at least a part-time basis and Tiberi has kept the spirit of the group (along with many of its arrangements) alive.
