Michael: thanks for sharing. Big thanks to Erin and other 9 dancers and Jim and other 3 musicians for letting me film. It was a joy.
You do us and posterity a great kindness.
Mike Karoub (affectionately known by many as “Max”) is a treasure. Check out the Tricky Sam lick he plays at the end of his first 8 bars.
