I teach a high school band in eastern Utah. I am always looking for recordings of our music to use as a demo for the kids. This is just the site I was looking for. I know how long it takes to do this, so from me to you; Thanks so very much for putting this together.

Freddie- What a great website. I play in a big band of mostly seniors ( our piano player just turned 82 last week)in Dayton,OH. I started playing sax in the 8th grade and similar to you I quit for a long time. My daughter got me started again because she never heard me play and I found I still loved the big band sound and needed to find an outlet.
I have a fairly large library of over 600 charts but was blown away with your website. As I look for new music for the group it is great to come back here to see what the arrangements sound like.

Hi Freddy
a great website you've put together. Especially useful are the recordings of charts you have played live, gives everybody a chance to hear the charts before playing them. Or trying to!!
Best wishes from

This is an absolutely terrific website, Freddy.Well thought out and eye appealing. But the best part is your music, Freddy. This is a very professional sounding band Freddy and all of you appear to have some serious chops. Keep up the good work. The music is starting to come back and it is bands like yours that are making that happen.

Hello freddy ,
Nice to meet you. Great sounding band.
I had one on LI for years. But, that was then. now i run 2 Big Bands and A Sax Quartet and Octet group.
We started out as a very fine Benny Goodman Band. But , my partner and fine clarinetist came down with cancer of the throat. He is oK but cannot play. So now I'm running the band. Doing mostly jazz Style charts. I like your websight. Keep up the good work.
I have over 2500 charts and very picky, for an 72 year old man.
Stay well and good luck

Fred,
Thanks for putting this up. Great site and very well designed. I love being able to hear for the first time a number of arrangements which I already have, and to be able to audition charts that I'm curious about but hadn't been exposed to before. Keep up the good work!
