Monday YouTube Fix: Wynton Marsalis Quintet Featuring Frank Vignola and Mark O'Connor

Man is there whole lot of talent on one stage in this clip! These are some of my favorite performers coming together for an awesome rendition of Sweet Georgia Brown.  I got to know Frank Vignola when he was half of the duo Travelin' Light with Sam Pilafian many moons ago.  I even got to jam with him once in a hotel room in Evanston with my friend Zach Brock when Frank and Sam were in town for the tuba conference at Northwestern in 1995.  It was one of the most fun times I've ever had playing the tuba.  Good times.

I don't think that Mark O'Connor or Wynton really need any introduction.  Simply amazing storytellers.  Awesome clip!

Enjoy!
