    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that this recording is from the Proms in 2002 in London, not in the Netherlands as stated. Nevertheless a work of great genius, control and style.

    Wow! This band is everything a band is supposed to be! Tight, communicative (musically speaking) with each other, and swinging their @#$es off.

    And of course, Wynton just keeps getting better and better.
