Done extremely well! “Atomic Hefty” was a great tribute to an American jazz trumpeter, composer and arranger. Thank you all.

Bella esecuzione e arrangiamento di un grande classico. In particolare ho apprezzato l'esecuzione del solo di tromba con tutta la sezione fiati. Mi ha ricordato George Russell con So What di Davis.
