Jordan Kline is fabulous.
Lovely playing guys, well done.

[@JakBarton]

That vibraphone/viola duet was just, wow.

[@skittles1947]

Great performances all around but Jordan Kline's trombone is something very special. Wow!

[@loninappleton]

Thanks for the playlist. And also the tribute from the Ellington band to Ray Nance with the viola solo. Several years ago Essentially Ellington featured a tribute to Bunny Briggs with a tap dancer as part of the orchestra. Worth looking up. I look forward to each of the new season performances.
