Armin is my great grandfather. Our real last name is Kirmizian-it's Armenian. He changed it, and I changed it back.

At last some originality in a trombone solo.
Clarinet, too.

This is Tommy Smith, father of well known t-bonist and jazz prof. Tom Smith. Then Tom is the father of Matt Smith, the teenage kid who's the world's fastest drummer. What a family.

Tin roof is one of my favorite songs in this style. It was one of the first songs I ever sat in with a band on. Love it.

I'm getting a real music education on this channel. When I saw this I thought I wouldn't like it. But man these dudes get down.
