I watched and commented on this first 6 and then 4 years ago. So here I am again, enjoying this TIMELESS music! They're just not making music like this anymore....:( Just my opiniion for what it's worth.
I was the guitarist in my high school jazz band in the mid 80's... we played Killer Joe too... crazy, of course we were amateur hour compared to this...
@marctrainor777: Well-said, the nose-in-the-air crowd in some jazz circles maintain western swing musicians don't know jazz or their axes. Guys like Buddy and Phil put the lie to that prejudice. Kudos to this big band for being open-minded. The results are worth it.
@Wn8ief The whole ensemble is tops. Maybe the Mancini Jazz portion of his full orchestra as as well as Mancini's full orchestra may have been better, but that is almost apples and oranges. Almost. Add Buddy to any great band and you have the master of the C6 neck as well as the E9. I used to go see Baugh and Mancini years back when I played horn in a state champion stage band. What happened to great music like this?
I remember so many times Phil would come in for a recording session, sit down and amaze all of us. Guy was incredible. Miss you Phil

Calling Emmons and Phil "Country" musicians is a blatant misrepresentation. These guys could play anything.
I hate to make comparisons, but Lenny was way better than phil!
