This excerpt from a much longer show might be short on actual songs but is not short on awesome Jazz Music. It is not short on amazing performances by a talented and precision unit who have honed their craft to the point of masterful. From the wonderful rendition of the Gershwin Classic "Summertime" to the arrangement of the Late Legendary Carla Bley's "Ictus" it doesn't get any better than this. Except for the lengthy take on "The Meaning Of The Blues". I listened to this show last night and I had to repeat "The Meaning Of The Blues" a second time to take it all in...I know that a lot of our Jazz Friends are going to love this for their Sunday Morning Jazz!!
