A great musician and former Tonight Show Band bassist, Joel and I
discussed jazz and all things big band over breakfast some years back.
The music community in Phoenix and elsewhere is mourning the loss of our friend Tom Miles on April 10, 2011. Please visit
Tom's memorial page.

grok music. For now. Maybe.
