You may remember that I posted the URL for the BBC Radio 2 website in which they change a half doze or so "Brass band" tunes. Well, that same site ALSO has big band and jazz "forums". Some really great music being played in Merry Olde. Most highly recommended.

Another site that has fantastic "streaming music" is http://www.ckua.com. This is the oldest "public" radio station in Canada and has an ENORMOUS library. It might not all be "straight ahead trumpet music" but you certainly can get your fill of just about anything you want from Classics to Comedy.

Not a CD, but I heard Winston Rollins Big Band today at the 606, Chelsea, London. He brings together some of the big UK jazz artists for a wonderful selection of tunes, with the wall of sound trumpets including Guy Barker, Graeme Flowers, Mark Armstrong, and two cats I never heard who can puff it out.

If you are in the London area keep your eyes peeled when Winston assembles these guys. Full on.

Lately I've been listening to Snooky Young, Thad Jones et. al. on the CD reissue of Basie's "Chairman of the Board". One of Basie's best and Snooky is amazing on the lead book.

Another favorite reissue of mine is "Sorta May/Sorta Dixie" by the Billie May Orchestra. Conrad Gozzo was the lead trumpet. This CD really shows why many consider him the greatest lead man of all time.

Vanguard- "Can I Persuade You"

There is an album called Atomic Swing. Not to be confused with Atomic Basie both by the count basie band. The album atomic swing is out of this world. Some of the most swingin playing I have ever heard.

John Fedchock-- "New York Big Band"

I always come back to this. It's becoming one of my "desert islanders'". Great writing. Amazing solos. Band sounds incredible with Tony Kadleck doing all the lead trumpet stuff.
