Maynard
Ferguson
is one of the few jazz legends
who is still touring all year round. I idolized him
when
I was young, respected him when I was in his band... |
Tierney
Sutton
Ten years ago I was playing a
Jack Sheldon gig with Trey Henry on bass and Ray
Brinker on drums and Tierney "sat-in"
Wow! What a
voice! What a musician! That's all it took, we've
been
playing together ever since.

Airto
Moreira Everyone knows that this
guy is no
ordinary percussionist. I don't even know how to
explain the genius of Airto. Part story teller, part
magician, his sounds are part of jazz history
Miles, Cannonball, Dizzy, Chick Corea |
Bill
Holman When it comes to writing
for a modern
big band, Bill's arrangements and compositions
are held up as the pinnacle of the art. When
I play his arrangements it's like an adventure.

Flora
Purim For those who know Flora,
an
introduction is unnecessary. Her music has
interwoven the life fabric of anyone with a passing
interest in Latin and American jazz music for over
25 years. |
Jack
Sheldon Whenever I mention Jack's
name
people get excited and tell me what huge Jake Sheldon
fans they are. It's more than his being a great player... |
