[Trombone-l] Improv in daily routine

[Wayne Dyess]

I didn't know about Hal Crook's book, Jeff.  I had the great  
opportunity of hearing him live with Phil Woods at the New Orleans  
IAJE a number of years ago.  What an ear-opening concert that was!

I'm putting "Ready, Aim, Improvise" on my list of things I need to buy.

Thanks,
Wayne
