Re: [IRCA] Michael Savage and big bands

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

Wasn't a traditional big band although there were maybe 15 guys in it. I saw 
The count Basie Orchestra with Frank Foster leading maybe 20 years ago, was 
one of the best concerets I have ever been to. I didn't want to go, I hated 
jazz until that night, my then girlfriend dragged me to it complaining all 
the way. It was a revelation,
