Woody Herman and His Orchestra was a jazz band led by Woody Herman, which had its great successes in the late swing era from the late 1930s to the 1980s. After the beginnings as The band That Play the Blues, the highlights of the band’s career included the First Herd, which also integrated elements of bebop in 1945/46, and the Second Herd or Four Brothers Band, which was influenced by the beginning of cool jazz from 1947 to 1949. Herman then worked in various ensembles until the 1980s with further big band projects, increasingly integrating contemporary jazz elements and thus making a significant contribution to the further development of big band jazz.
