Ilai Macaggi... dude you tore that apart, I've heard very few pro trombone players shred giant steps like that. Hats off to you my guy, that was killing.

[@ilaimacaggi3080]

Gavin Gray I really appreciate it man!

[@alansenzaki4148]

Wow. Amazing solos by all. I never would have imagined as i sat in my basement as a 14 year old kid listening to my new giant steps coltrane record i would hear all these 18 and 19 year old kids 60 years later playing like this. Jazz is alive and well!

But there not as good as Good ole dillard are they summer...lol I see you there and am reminded of a time way back when I came from a lights out h.s jazz band to another band that just didn't swing the same, and wasn't as tight..... Hang in there kiddo, you will do great things! P.S No offense to anyone else in that band.....
