He did so much for the music and touched so many lives through his great love for jazz. I was blessed to be one of them, we met back in 1972 while working at UA/Blue Note. remembering Dr. George on this first anniversary of his passing.

It made me appreciate you Wynton as a composer of note. It lagitimizes jazz big band and is as important as any Symphony Orchestra. I can hear the influences of Duke as well as Dizzy. I've never heard anything like this recording. Please do more. I'm also a trumpet player in several bands. The sounds that you have composed of the train are truly amazing. Thank you for this composition. JR Just got a recording of The Big Train. It made me appreciate you Wynton as a composer of note.
