I'm not sure he can stand up to Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman but for a more modern artist, I think he does ok.
I saw what was left of the Dorsey Band in Florence in the late '70s...great stuff....If you can listen to The Boogey Woogey Bugle Boy of Company B and Not tap your toe...you must be dead.
"Doc" is our resident BB Player...Trombone......I'm truly surprised that we have a lot of big band fans here. I'm a fan of most any kind of music. My iPod had a range from bluegrass/old time music to Five Finger Death Punch.
