I am tempted to close this very unadorned exhibit of treasures with a sigh, “Ah, there were wonders in those days!” That sigh would be a valid emotional reaction to the glories of the preceding century. But — just a second — marvels are taking place all around us NOW, and those who lament at home will miss them.
May your happiness increase!

Yes it was George Wein’s first venture & in his words’ he chose this young white kid to lead the band & pick the musicians’!
