notes

"After 29 years playing jazz in the Washington, DC area while pursuing a full-time career in the U.S. Marine Band, after nine years and counting as part of the Jim Cullum Jazz Band in San Antonio, Ron Hockett at long last finally gets to lead his own record date. It was a long time coming, but I'm sure you'll agree it was well worth the wait. What you'll find here is a well thought-out, beautifully rendered program of irresistibly swinging music by a world-class clarinetist (and sometime soprano saxophonist) who for all his years of experience still has much to tell us that is fresh and new."

-- Ross Firestone, author of the award-winning Swing,Swing,Swing: The Life and Times of Benny Goodman
