Duke Ellington's ivories to Satchmo's riffs - GREAT PHOTOS!!
Will big bands ever come back?
Yup!
I even showed some of them on a big screen to dancers this past weekend. Incidentally, Chazz Young took one look at the photo above (on my iPhone, so it was really tiny), and immediately said "that's not Honi". It looks like Honi Coles to me, so I was going to blame it on the tiny screen and his old eyes, but maybe he's right?

Gee - I don't know, so I will go look at pics of HC now. That's the way it was captioned on the photographer's web site.lipi wrote:Yup!
