[gti84guy]

My Father Jim Wyckoff Toured with Bill. He tells me all the " behind the scenes " antics. Awesome Bill. Gob Bless

[ApatheticVegnagun]

Is that Ron Stout back there on 4th trumpet?

[RichBassBone]

Yes, that is Ron....as Bill called him, "The Burning Bush"!

[Kirok]

Dennis. F'n. Farias.

Just ... damn.

[skaterpacman6745]

Big Phat Band plays sooo much like the Refuge West band. How old is Gordon in this video?

[RichBassBone]

Gordon would have been about 25 or 26 years old in 1981, the same age as me...I was playing bass bone here.

[jazzlover10000]

So many arrangements + bands overdo modern syncopations so as to make them boring and sound like vomit. Watrous didn't. His arrangements were excellent and fit around modern jazz style like a glove.
