It was originally for septet, later arranged for band. There's no piano version available yet. --Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: James W.

I checked Hickeys and all they have is the trombone septet and band arrangements. Thanks for the help.

Cox" Subject: Sammy Nestico CD Hi list... I haven't posted in a very long time, and in fact, I just "resumed" my subscription the other day after a pretty long absence. I just got Sammy Nestico's new CD "This is the Moment" today and if you haven't heard it, it is really a nice one. The trombone section includes Dick Nash, Charlie Loper, Andy Martin, and Phil Teele. Andy Martin gets several opportunities to improvise throughout the course of the album and sounds great. The real highlight of the album for me, however, was Dick Nash's great solo on the ballad "Shoreline Drive." I believe the only way to get a copy of this CD is through the website, www.sammynesticomusic.com, but i'm not positive. In any case, it is certainly worth a listen. -Tommy Cox University of Alabama ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 17:33:11 -0800 From: Chris Tune Subject: Re: Sammy Nestico CD That's Dick. He is a true master and a very nice fellow. I am glad to hear he's featured on the tune. What plays through the Real Audio sample just leaves me wanting to hear more.

I first heard him play on the Henry Mancini album of the "Peter Gunn" TV series music. This was a favorite album of mine at the time, mostly because Dick Nash was featured on a lot of the tunes, and he played all the trombone jazz solos. I thought, "Wow, this guy is some trombone player". A few years later I picked up an album (I think it was Tutti's Trombones), and Dick was featured on a Steve Allen tune called "Impossible", a real pretty ballad. When he got to the last note of the chart, he played a V-I cadence, from high E-flat up to double A-flat, with the most gorgeous vibrato you ever heard. I still get goose flesh when I even think of it. Hearing that for the first time really put greatness into perspective for me. I understand that he is still quite busy in the LA studio scene. What a great player, and yet so many people don't even know his name.

The first Karajan stereo set on DG was the better of the two he did. I'm guessing this is the one you have. It is a very good set, recorded when DG still produced good recorded sound. Hang on to it.
