Two black bounty hunters ride into a small town out West in pursuit of an outlaw. They discover that the town has no sheriff, and soon take over that position, much against the will of the mostly white townsfolk. They raise hell, chase women, and milk the locals for cash, while waiting for the opportunity to get their man.

Born as a result of the artistic and social movement that resulted in the psychedelic revolution of the mid-60s, the "progressive sound" defied the conventions of the music industry, with extended songs and ambitious song structures, with influences ranging from blues and rock to jazz and classical music. The Progressive Box is a phenomenal work that features all the genre's key artists (Yes, Genesis, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Rick Wakeman, King Crimson, Alan Parsons, Focus) and cult figures that still fascinate millions of followers worldwide (Soft Machine, Van Der Graaf Generator, Magma, The Nice, Caravan, Gong, Hawkwind, Can, Tangerine Dream, Brainticket, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Banco Del Soccorso Mutio, Fairport Convention, Affinity, Carmen, Atomic Rooster, Third Ear Band, Brand X, Steve Hillage, Curved Air, Greenslade, etc). With a stunning cover art and remastered sound, The Progressive Box is an essential album for fans of any kind of music.

A fine swing clarinetist, an altoist whose sound was influenced by Johnny Hodges, a good soprano saxophonist, and a spirited blues vocalist, Woody Herman's greatest significance to jazz was as the leader of a long line of big bands. He always encouraged young talent and, more than practically any bandleader from the swing era, kept his repertoire quite modern.
