Yippee! My latest batch of TJB c-d's has arrived. I buy 2 copies of each now and I've ordered by 2 Christmas albums by The Brass. I can't wait to hear Ninth, BOTB, and WNML. I have scanned through each of the albums and, to me, the pictures and stories themselves were worth the money. But, as a bonus I get the music. I've long sought pix of Herb and Nick Ceroli, & Bob Edmondson in the studio and now I have them. Call me sentimental but when I looked at some of the photos of Nick in the studio or performance shots, I teared up. Ya don't know what influence that one drummer has had on my love for music, especially jazz and big band. He inspired me to learn drums. The really special photo that brought tears was a picture,a 2 shot, of Nick behind his drums in the studio with Herb in front of him in the background making an conducting type motion to Nick.
I'm just excited. Thanks for reading this post. I think we all miss the little guy with the mustache sitting behind those drums.
