“Alternate Route ”   

$15.00 + s/h

Mike Vax & MVJO

"Simply put, this is one mind-blowing big band, crafted in the image of Basie, Herman and Kenton and employing clean and muscular unison passages as runways from which to launch a squadron of high-flying improvisers."

This CD is made possible thanks to a generous gift in honor of the Minarik Family. Part of the proceeds from the sale of this CD will go to the Al "Jazzbeaux" Collins Memorial Scholarship Fund.
