I have to agree, why not both? The Big Band Era was my parents generation, so my Dad turned me on to Glenn Miller and Harry James, and the Dorseys. As I grew up I found Maynard. Then I found Basie, Ellington and Thad and that generation. I just love Big Band. All kinds, almost anyway. It's fun to listen to and a lot of fun to play.
Happy Father's Day Dad!! Wish you were here.
