Comment:

I slaved over this righteous disk to be played during the cocktail hour before my wedding reception November of last year. Though these were my first steps into the incredible world of jazz, big band and jump blues, I am still impressed with how it came out. Naturally, my in-laws though I was a genious and my wife thought I was the bravest man alive. We gave a copy of the disk to each member of the wedding party. What worked out best was that I got to but a lot of CDs to make this!!

LOVELY!!!! this kicks so much arse. if i ever go back on my whole anti-marrige thing, i'd definatly have a big band at my reception, something a bit glenn miller for "in the mood" and "string of pearls" action. very nice mix!!!

Jake, I stumbled across this while looking at one of your other mixes. "Wow, that can't be the same Jake and Lara I know," I thought. It's a small world wide web after all. --Frank Grimes a.k.a. Grant
