06/30/20:

Years go by, times change, but my obsession with note-for-note transcriptions of classic Americana/American Jazz Orchestra recordings performed live and in concert continues.

As a "concession to the recession" of the 1980's, I formed a septet version of my Americana Classic Jazz Orchestra (ACJO). Comprised of 2 Brass 2 Reeds and 3 Rhythm, the band retained 100% authenticity.

"Authentic Old Wave".

A unique, 'hip' and historically significant presentation of Great American Music History found nowhere else in the world.

And now in 2020, I'm reviving the concept for Special Concert engagements. Stay tuned.
