About a year ago we did a session with our Youtube team, preparing a few tunes to celebrate the 100th birthday of Dave Brubeck. This one is "It's A. Raggy Waltz", arranged by Stefan Pfeifer-Galilea. It features Billy Test on piano, John Goldsby on bass, and Andy Hunter on trombone. Recorded live in Studio 4. | WDR Big Band
