The ending was sloppy (drum gaff), but still stellar! Of course, this is one of the faster tempos I have heard this Rif-tune (love the style-medley that orthoman8 found from Newport Jazz).

We've got a nice gig coming up at Fitzgeralds with the St. Gustavus Adolphus Jazz Lab Band opening for us March 22. I was thinking about recording that night and maybe putting out a CD
