I am so glad that someone put this on KZbin. What great memories of my sophomore year at NIU!!!

[@scottbliege8288]

This was Jimmy Trompeters Freshman year at NIU. What a talented keyboard player. Still one of the best I’ve played with in my 50 year career as a trombonist.

This was recorded in the recording studio at the Playboy club in Lake Geneva, WI.

Was this trumpeter's first year at northern?

This album is hard to find even if the bookstore at NIU and they have almost all of their stuff, is it possible can you look up or list the where this was recorded I'm guessing maybe it was recorded at in Charleston Illinois but it could have been recorded just at NIU but I don't know. A new Blieige and Connel ; Stevak had the same drum teacher that I did.
