Frankie95 Video Round Up-Introduction

I’ve been obsessive compulsively keeping track of videos posted from the Frankie Manning 95^th Birthday Festival. This is mostly because I didn’t get to see a lot of it despite being at all the evening events from before start until after finish. I was looking at the Silver Shadows’ routine and realized that there were 11 videos of it online.  I wanted to determine which one got the best view.  Then I got even more curious and did the same for the other performance videos, the competitions, etc. until I just compiled a ton of information.

I figured that it would be a shame not to share this stuff, so now everything is compiled into these easy to reference blog posts by day/night.

JazzWax: Interview with Brooks Tegler & corrections

As a follow up to my review of his big band last Saturday night, here's an interesting interview with Brooks Tegler on Jazzwax.com. Also a correction from yesterday's post.  Scott Silbert was the tenor saxaphonist on Saturday night, not Silver as I misheard and wrote.  You can read about him by following this link.

Also, Don Lerman was on sax, not sex as I mistyped.  Baritone with the big band and alto, I think, with the small group.
