For the audience, and the players, it was a journey back in musical time to the big band era of the 1930s, '40s and early '50s. Back to when the big-band sound dominated America's popular music–-and alto saxophonist Dorsey was known as “The Jukebox King.” Pruyn, who lives in ...

The album title is certainly apt. If there were one word that could describe Andy Waddell’s guitar playing, it would be Alive. Waddell doesn’t restrict himself to jazz conventions.
