Got a call to sit in on a big band rehearsal last night. People round these parts don't know me for big band playing at all and I only knew one person in the group (who has only heard me play trombone in symphonic band). Thus, nobody really knew what they were going to get ;-).

Anyways, I sight-read and swung the hell out of it. Yeah.

Somewhere, I'd like to think my late mentor Joy Cayler is looking down, wryly smiling, and thinking "yeah boys, he's one of mine."
