After all this time, I am still captivated and drawn in to the Frankfurt Radio Big Band. Jazz and musical mastery at it's best. Still listening and so thankful to the soloists and the entire band and production team for giving us one master piece after another. Best regards, Wayne in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Thank you so much, Wayne. This means a lot to us!

it was a privilege to study with Jim in the late 70s very giving and a modern vocabulary that was shining
