Duke Heitger, trumpet<BR>
Evan Christopher, clarinet and alto sax<BR>
Brian Ogilvie, Tenor sax<BR>
Steve Pistorius, piano<BR>
John Parker, rhythm guitar<BR>
Jim Singleton, string bass<BR>
John Gill, alternating drums, banjo, and lead guitar.<BR>

They played mostly from charts, except for solos...I Want to be Happy, a<BR>
nice JRM tune Frogmor Rag, and believe it or not,3 Hawaiian tunes...Song of<BR>
the Islands, Blue Hawaii, and one I don't remember. A couple other tunes.<BR>
Great musicianship by everyone in the group.<BR>
George Buck has a very professional well-equipped studio. George is very<BR>
dedicated jazz lover....An interesting man..I'll write more about him later.<BR>

No trombone...I find this hard to believe. who would want this? (chuckle).<BR>

George Buck is more than an interesting man. He is a true patron of the arts. He has long put out recordings that have not made a dime for him. He feels that they should be put out and that he will do it as long as he has some resources to do it.<BR>
