Yeah man. I will never forget a Big Band Presentation of "Emily". Band was
the Criterions (West Chester University Music Department Grads) led by Matt
Niess, head of the jazz program there and monster trombonist retired from
the Air Force Band in Washington DC.

It was just incredible.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
