"George Gruntz's Concert Jazz Band, an orchestra that sticks to
originals by
bandmembers (both past and present) and the leader's
arrangements, has long
been one of the most stimulating of all jazz

  2. Many thanks and a hug, dear friend, for this interesting tape (the lineup is impressive) and a couple
    of others, but also for running such a nice site. Pls.don't become dispirited! There'll always be a
    huge gap between the number of downloads and that of comments, it's been a fact of life since the
    world of blogs begun: if you want to keep on blogging, I believe you'll have to live with that...
    Anyway, I love much of the stuff posted here and will come back for more sometime soon.
    In the meantime, please don't quit!
