Jazz
The Runaway Herd, led by trumpeter Dick Collins (1924-2016), primarily consisted of members of Woody Herman’s New Third Herd, with the exception of alto saxophonist Med Flory and tenor saxophonist Al Cohn.
Dick Collins, one of the standout stars of the Third Herd, showcases his small yet incisive tonal approach, effortlessly rising above each chord with a lyrical and swinging quality. The remaining members of Collins’ Herd, including notable tenor stylists Bill Perkins and Dick Hafer, along with baritone saxophonist Jack Nimitz, consistently deliver outstanding performances. Nat Pierce’s piano contributions add depth and captivation, while Red Kelly on bass and Chuck Flores on drums provide a solid and unwavering rhythmic foundation.
