The main thing that stands out to me about this marvelous group is their sense of phrasing and time! No one’s trying to play 1 million notes. Everybody’s just focused on making concise musical statements. I’m 46 years old and I still trying to learn this. 😅

Nice. I need to pick up my trumpet again. Always wanted to play jazz, but never did.
