Music and Interviews by Greg Williamson, woven together into a sonic sculpture of
NEW big band music, stories, memories and jokes.
This is a live recording of a concert–featuring the recorded collection of lifetimes
of stories, music, and hanging out–set to live music. It’s a chance to recount,
relive and celebrate the moments between gigs, and the people we love who tell the stories. |
