Magnificent. thank you for posting all this talent.

Little do they know, that trombone soloist in the beginning is suffering... High C!!

Those cats can swing!!!

Can someone find out what mouthpiece the tenor soloist uses, I can see he uses a vandoren optimum ligature

Thanks for posting AZ! Do you happen to know what is going on at 3:24? Does the singer choose not to sing the lyric "cotton?" Or is the audio edited somehow that her part is left out?

4:48 Moose the Mooche Reference?
