special night and a great performance, and it's available now!   Wait til you 
hear Jim Fryer playing Ory's Creole Trombone, and Bob Price playing 'The World is 
Waiting for the Sunshine'.   And I love 'Hands Across the Table'!   Our 
Airmail Special CD sold out quickly, but we just received another shipment!   This

their very best!   And don't forget the Jimmy Mazzy/Skip Hughes University of New
