This afternoon, Harry Epp and I went to George Buck's studio where a
recording was being made, and we sat in the control room and listened to:
Duke Heitger, trumpet
Evan Christopher, clarinet and alto sax
Brian Ogilvie, Tenor sax
Steve Pistorius, piano
John Parker, rhythm guitar
Jim Singleton, string bass
John Gill, alternating drums, banjo, and lead guitar.
They played mostly from charts, except for solos...I Want to be Happy, a
nice JRM tune Frogmor Rag, and believe it or not,3 Hawaiian tunes...Song of
the Islands, Blue Hawaii, and one I don't remember. A couple other tunes.
Great musicianship by everyone in the group.
George Buck has a very professional well-equipped studio. George is very
dedicated jazz lover....An interesting man..I'll write more about him later.
