I really enjoyed this year of music. So many good songs, so many great musicians, I often wonder how long I can ride this train.

Of the four ensembles I run or participate in, the big band is my favorite, even if we don’t get paid for the performance.

We try to play lyrical, interesting, and unique arrangements of music. But there are also songs that we play because our followers demand it. We have one more concert in October and then we go on hiatus until next year.
