| Dave - Toshiko's band was very difficult for subs. Every note seemed to have an accent, dot, line, cap ... etc... The book was a mess and that stuff was nearly impossible to play even if the charts were in perfect shape! A famous LA based lead player once told me, "So, is Toshiko still writing double C's in harmon mute? Get someone else to play that!"
Erik - Kenton & Schneider? I feel your pain!
Janell - No, I meant for the whole orch. (It was the regular tpts., just Jon Owens subbing for me.) Greg, Laurie & Ingrid were there. Maria has a week at the Jazz Standard around Thanksgiving, so if you come down, please say "hi".
