Dinah Dinah Washington will return for
One Number with an all -star group
Wynton Kelly,
Max Roche, and Paul West remain on stage.
As we bring up first,
a superb trombonist.
One of his best -known solos
is on the Woody Herman second
recording of Blue Flame.
And recently he was given the job of
leading the Benny Goodman Orchestra
in the absence of Benny
for about three months.
Urbie Green.
Then a man whose talents
encompass the mellophone,
the vibes, the trumpet,
the vocal and compositorial
talents.
He's an all -around entertainer
as well. Don Elliott.
And one of the fast and furious men of jazz,
Terry Gibbs.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
