Nicely done, fellas! Nice to hear you play again, Jimmy! Hard to believe it's been over 50 years since we played together! Wish I could've been there. Roger: One of a kind!

Great sound, loved the bass solo on Cantaloupe Island. In fact loved all of the solos through the entire performance. An outstanding tribute.

Just a reminder. Jim McKillip who plays fabulous trumpet solos in this performance is also a World-Class Jazz Pianist. What an amazing Jazz talent he is. Also, all these soloists played magnificently during this Tribute to Roger Dancz, Georgia's long-time Redcoat Band Director. Roger was a marvelous trumpeter as well as the fabulous arranger of so many Redcoat Football Band arrangements.

What knocked me out were the solos by that short trumpet player on the left. He really ends a solo well. That'd be my old very talented friend Jim McKillip.
