Happy holidays!

I just received this CD from Steve, and highly recommend it. Very good band with a great sound. There is a nice blend of lighter and weightier pieces on the CD. Overall, one of the most enjoyable CD's I've opened in quite a while.

And of interest to this group-- very nice playing in the low brass. Kudos to Steve and his section mates.
