HAJB is among the better amateur OKOM-band in France, and, 
probably, in Europe. This band has a particular sound. I can't 
explain why.
The 'stars' are : the great (and friendly) bandleader, Michel 
Bastide, cornetist, valve-trombonist and arranger, Martin Seck, 
an excellent German pianist and vocalist. I like the reedmen 
too, specifically Philippe Raspail (ts, as, cl, vcl). But the 
value is collective above all !

Great choice !
