I only wish I was there--I saw Vince and the band at the 92nd Street Y last Monday at the DeSylva Brown & Henderson tribute and at the Pee Wee Russell Stomp in NJ--they get better and better.

Excellent! They also did an arrangement of Persian Rug that was fantastic. Too bad that isn't here.

Wonderful stuff!

Congratulations to the band and to whoever organised this.
