Sounds great, Lazaro. I played several cuts off that new Isham release last Friday night on Afterglow...especially liked that version of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore."

That's the one tune where he takes it upstairs a bit, shows off some chops, and does not sound like Clark Terry! He talks about how he had to work that one up because it is such a trumpet tune historically. Isham's coming back to touring and regular performance after years of film scores and raising kids. But he plans on coming out on tour again with that Houston Street band which has a couple of downloads from his web site, www.isham.com. Those are the things we're playing Sunday in the 9 o'clock hour: "Lonely Woman" and that Radio Head tune.
