Apologies for the (slightly) distorted audio. The only practical location for my iPhone was next to one of the house speakers.
I'll be uploading more soon--including Bill Holman, Johnny Mandel, Gordon Goodwin, Carl Saunders, Scott Whitfield, Tom Kubis, Mike Barone, Rob McConnell, Bernie Dresel, Chris Walden. These things take time . . . :)

Heard the Limited Edition once in La. Bob was then a guest with the JazzMn big band here in Minnesota . Great talent and nice man, which ain't always the case !

It's so rare to find groups like this anymore. Tight, great charts, excellent sound, brings back memories for me of my Grandpop who was in a big band and my days in a college jazz band. Thank you for sharing this, Mr. Kaiser!

Thanks, Bill. I know exactly what you're talking about. :)

Tom Petersons solo on Be-Bop Charley could have been crafted any better. So much to learn from these guys.

One of Bob Florence's obituaries stated that he was the greatest composer/arranger since Duke Ellington. No argument here.
