This concert was also recorded  on a Video produced by Dick Miller, 
cornet player from the West Coast. Besides the other bands, several 
individual musicains played, including my good friend Wayne Jones, who 
said it was among the high points of his life to be there let alone  
play with Turk.
It is a very good production. My copy gets a playing at least once 
annually, and I may tranfer it to DVD  as a backup in case the video 
begins to break down.
I don't know who has this available if it still is, but if you find a 
copy, buy it. It was Turk's last hurrah -- but a good one all the same.
