I agree, great bands great musicians!!

There still there but hard to find! Today mediocrity rules the roost in popular music. If you dig you will still find some really fine talent!(Ever watch the RAV channel on HD?)

Lee, Don, Bill.....

I love to listen to the Big Bands...you have to also remember there was nothing else back then like all the choices we have today if you wanted to play music you had to take lessons & really learn How to Play.

Donny,
Sounds pretty good doesn't it??? The idea of really learning to play.

I know I have a ways to go. :-)

There was a group called the WNOP big band in Cincinnati a few years ago. Haven't heard much about them since the demise of the WNOP jazz festival. the power of a group like this-16 traditional pieces-is amaising.

WNOP was a small (1000 watt, I think) traditional jazz station operating from a boaat under the bridge from Kentucky to Ohio.
