Yesterday I was by Barnes and Noble, and I happened to see that my old high school Jazz Band would be performing tonight. I got off work early enough to catch there last two bits. They sounded pretty good. The played the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame early this year. This video has clips from several songs, but gives an idea of their quality.
This reminded me of my youth, and my own time in the Screaming Eagles. One of the charts we played a Sammy Nestico piece called "Basie Straight Ahead", originally played by Count Basie, of course. Here's the Sammy Goz Band playing it. we were almost as good. Promise.
