On March 15, 2005, thirty of central New York’s finest musicians gathered in Crouse College’s Setnor Auditorium at Syracuse University for a three-hour recording session. The session was recorded in the truest tradition of big band recordings utilizing one track with no editing. The takes were saved exactly as they were recorded to preserve the wonderful sound of the auditorium. We hope that you enjoy this CD as much as we enjoyed recording it.
