NickD has a spectacular aura about
I've been listneing to this all am!

I've been doing a lot of grading of papers this AM. I've been listening to this station all am! Man, the stuff they're playing is fabulous, and not just for trumpet, though the there is clearly trumpet (and high notes don't hurt either).

These folks are really trying. What has been knocking me out is the fact that, in addition to playing the music of very famous heavy hitters (Freddie, Woddy, Dizzy, Clifford, Harry, Bobby...etc..) they are playing the music of far more obsucre artists - the kind of folks you have to scrounge around on the internet to find. These latter folks are just as amazing as the heavies! I am really amazing, though not household names - deep underground artists.

I can't urge you enough to check this out.
