Michael Weiss Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Esko was a great guy and really knew his stuff. I did a tour with the UMO band with Red Rodney in 1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 The album with Thad received an American issue in the late 70s. I picked it up then and have enjoyed it several times since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
