Bravo! I enjoyed that. The world certainly lost two of the very best.

[Doug Elliott]

Too bad parts of the solo part were obviously lip-synched.

Incredible playing though.

[Matt K]

Is that the same arrangement that the Airmen of Note recorded with steinmeyer?

Thanks Andy, yeah I knew I really had to record this chart when Sammy passed. He's my absolute favorite arranger

Thanks Doug, yeah Eric did do the video after he'd recorded. It is very hard to do a clean first take, so I do recommend that they all mime their video. It makes for a better video in the end.

I haven't heard that version, but Naxos says it's a Bill Cray arrangement so I'm guessing not the same.

[Doug Elliott]

That would be Gil Cray.
Gil was in the band before my time and did a lot of great arrangements including some on the Bone Voyage record.

[Matt K]

Ah! I haven’t listened to it in awhile. I thought it sounded similar. Great recording & arrangement o e way or the ither
