Re: A Few Clips of My Favorite Big Band.

Holy cow, I think I was in the audience at that show! (I was 13 at the time). Great clips! Great to see Sam Noto, and also Moe Koffman on lead alto, who passed away 'way too early.

Also my favourite big band. I had the privilege of having some lessons and spending some time at Arnie Chycoski's house when he was still in Toronto, and he is the nicest person you'd ever want to meet.

Rob is absolutely brilliant but doesn't ever stand for any BS.

Now I'm feeling a bit older....
