I can't say enough good things about this arrangement. Canadians are missing out on the history of our great jazz musicians, composers and arrangers. Phil Nimmons did so much to bring together a sound that was distinctive. We need to hear more!

Stan Perry was my first drum teacher at age 11. So cool to see him on drums here. Thanks for posting.
Used to go to CBC studios in Toronto in the late 50s to see Nimmons n Nine do their radio show. It was great. Free too.
Thank You!
They used to be the house band on Dr. Bondolo's Pandemonium Medicine Show on CBC radio in the 1970's.
Phil's the mannnnn
Al Waxman introducing the band, nice!
Anyone know the names of all the band members?
