Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear ASU students play my favorite song.

Common Time was a working jazz combo, playing every week. I was in school with  them and they all helped me, playing at my composition recitals. Of course I invited them to play at the bandshell.

Playing in Common Time On June 3, 2017 were

Josh Carter - sax
Alex Ditto - guitar
Spencer Rawlins - bass
and
Chris Isom - drums

Although they were still in college in 2017, these are all top rank musicians, still playing today. 

I can't tell you what a joy it is to hear young musicians deliver the goods playing jazz standards. But I'll try. Their set was tight with exciting solos and ensemble work. And they were playing some of my favorite songs. There's something about live jazz that gets the message across. The audience loved them.

So now, recorded on June 3, 2017, at the Craighead Forest Bandshell here's Common Time playing "Autumn Leaves".
