Play Dem Funky Musics, White Boys

I'm spreading this around like a virus. The first recording of the jazz band me and some friends formed at school. We've been playing together all year, and I can't imagine the year would have been any fun without it.



I don't think anyone in the band truly knows what the band has meant to me. I think it's pretty fair to say that, without our weekly Thursday rehearsals, I would have long ago blown my head off - for real. For a short time, my music seemed to be all I had, and this jazz band really did save my life. It means a lot to me. Which is why I'm so thrilled to finally have had a recording done, short as it may be - it's so great to finally have something concrete, something which will last forever, so long after we've stopped playing together (which I pray never happens), I can look back and say, "that band was our jazz band." Expect a big Christmas present from me.
