This was a cassette given to me by someone in the audience excuse the fidelity. This is a classic jam session format which you might not see in this day and age let me explain. I was leading a quintet at the Elkhart Jazz Festival and I had the great Red Hollyway on alto and tenor and the great Butch Miles in the band Basie alumni. Frank Foster was on the bill leading the Basie band. When Frank finished his set he came in to hear my set. I saw him in the audience and invited him up on stage. Here is what occurred from the inside on this tune. I played the first solo on trumpet then Red on Alto. When Red and Frank started trading at the end of the tune I got inspired so picked up my alto and Red put down his alto and grabbed his tenor so you have 3 saxophone’s trading Frank on tenor , Red on tenor and me on alto. Then I switch back to trumpet to take the tune out !!
WOWzers! Thank you so much for the music! Happy Father’s Day, Glenn! With Love, Joanne
