Before the Tres Gone special, I played a psyched out Pre-Game show using only cds from the KPSU library. Mike was definitely on my mind as I spun the silver platters.
Listen to the Pre-Game Show!

Don’t forget John Jensen on flugelhorn and trumpet on many or most or maybe all of these tracks.
You are awesome. Thanks for sending him out in a blaze of glory.
Thank you for identifying John. The horns sound great on those pieces! You always played together as a group so well. Every track sounds like one cohesive unit played it. The blending of egos in Tres Gone was unique. No narcissism on board!
