  • Twenty bones! It sounds like a big band. I don't miss the trumpet or the saxes; and I do understand its concept. The concert should be turned into an album. Jiggs is fantastic, and is was the arrangement.

  • No doubt. Simply the best. Wish I could perform half as good!!!

  • I first heard Jiggs in 1963 playing w/ Rick Kiffer's big band. I was 17. I'm 66 and still listening to him play good stuff never.

  • Right mp40, Jiggs ain't Urbie, and he wouldn't wannna be.

    Urbie is one of the best ever at beautiful, melodious playing, but Jiggs plays that stuff just as well, and is much more inventive.

  • I probably listened to this album a thousand times. Jiggs nails it!

  • I grew up on Urbie Green, sorry folks Jiggs ain't Urbie.

  • @jpear1y It's based on Urbie Green's album 21 Trombones from the '70s. All of the arrangements from this concert are from that album! Check it out. Seriously.

  • Very nicely done. Good balance and fine trombone playing by all.  Great soloist.
