Wonderful stuff! Mr. Oliver, I'd love to see a video that concentrates on your playing, as I've tried for years to master a "stride" left hand. Your style looks to be much more economical but just as powerful.

Just lovely thanks regards Andre Netherlands

Very cool video. John Moak is such an entertaining trombonist, and overall cool cat.

Is there sheet music to this particular arrangement? Particularly piano lead sheet.

Sounds great, looks great! Related note: I tricked this drummer into playing reggae music. True story. :)
