It's really amazing to see a great musician who lived from the bebop era until now, a living witness of a country's musical evolution, sitting in the audience, enjoying his own orchestral work being performed on the stage, accompanied by his fellow musicians, Frank Wess among others.
Such a great experience!
The house was packed with his colleagues, friends, and family.
The orchestra was full of spirit playing his Three Ears for jazz quintet and orchestra.
Tony Hart and Mike Moss blowing their asses off on their horns. Especially Moss, man, his trumpet could tear down the whole music building!
Jimmy, a little giant --- very short, but when he starts blowing his horn, he was like a 7 feet tall. That's what he is. A very gentle and warm person with super-sharp ears.
Jimmy, hope you'll be with us all the time! Keep being healthy, and teach us all you know about music... and LIFE!
