I may have put it on DJML at an earlier date, but if any of you are like I am, there is little music going on at the moment, so might as well have a listen! :><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuLeR3qrqQU&list=RDyuLeR3qrqQU&start_radio=1"><span lang=EN-US style='color:blue'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuLeR3qrqQU&list=RDyuLeR3qrqQU&start_radio=1</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This is a big band made up of those of us that did most of the recording studio session work for many years in Madrid. Strangely enough, I was the only foreigner in that gang for about 25 yrs! Some really, really great sight readers amongst those guys, who were mostly older than me. I’m the younger, bearded trombonist that pops into view from time to time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The first song is a Flamenco Jazz arrangement by the leader of this band, Pedro Iturralde (sax & clarinet). Pedro is still a great friend. We then go on to a Glenn Miller Medley, followed by another of Pedroīs flamenco arrangements. We had a quick rehearsal just before the concert/tv show for all those new arrangements. Keeps you hopping, trying to keep up with all those sheets of paper!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The credits at the end give everyone from the tv production, but not one musician’s name.

Are first gigs are booked, hopefully, in the month of September. Have to wait & see. Anyway, everyone in my family, and everyone we know is fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Jim<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
