Road dog. Old Dog. Swamp dog. Partner of Tommy The High Note Police. What else can be said about the great Mike Williams?
Mike is an outstanding lead trumpet player and educator. After playing in the world-famous North Texas State 1:00 Band, Mike held down the lead trumpet chair in the Count Basie Orchestra for an incredible 31-year run, giving Mike the opportunity to play and hang with some of the legends of jazz. In this week's episode, Mike talks about life after Basie, jazz hangs in Europe, Blazing Saddles on the bus, learning from the "old-timers," virtual education, life at North Texas State, down-home cooking, and much more.
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
