I'll always remember the look on the rep's face when Jiggs threw the trombone to him (twice!). It was a combined look of horror, annoyance and relief (when he caught it). Jiggs sounded great on plastic and brass trombone and seemed like a fun guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On this CD, he stands out to me as the most interesting and creative soloist, even among this heavyweight crew. Edited 2 Oct 2020 by John Tapscott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
