Hi - seems a little slow around here, so I thought I would try to get something started. I have been doing research on the Brass, and I have concluded that thier first network TV appearance was on the Danny Kaye Show on Wednesday, October 27, 1965. They played the Winds of Barcelona and a Taste of Honey. On November 7, 1965 Herb and the boys appeared for the first time on Ed Sullivan, playing A Taste o Honey and Zorba the Greek. A month later they appeared on the Hollywood Palace (December 11, 1965) and played The Lonely Bull and Whipped Cream. I have seen a tape of this program, and Pisano and Edmonds were a part of the group but the other trumpet player was not a familiar face. I couldn't tell if any of othe well known members were present or not. At the end of the set, Herb got to run over and shake the hostesses' hand but it was real brief. On January 10, 1966, they did the Andy Williams Show, and on March 23 they were back on the Danny Kaye Show playing A Taste Of Honey and Zorba. On April 30th, 1966, the did the Hollywood Palace and played four hits, including What Now My Love. Talk about being on a roll. In a few short months they appeared on six popular network shows, playing hits from three hot albums.
Can anyone add any other information? Are any of the tapes avialable of these early appearances? The first Hollywood Palace appearance is available, as well as two others that occured later in 1966 and 1967, but not the April 30th one.
I have sources for several TJB Videos as well as thier three televison specials in 1967, 68 & 69. I would be happy to share thier email addresses. It is really fun to watch them and brings back a lot of great memories. Some of the advertisements are pretty funny, and watching these you realize how much more prevelant smoking was in the 1960's.
Lets hear from some of you out there!
