    “Greg Ruby has captured the spirit of early jazz by retrieving and rearranging the long lost compositions of legendary Seattle wind instrument “professor” Frank Waldron, mentor to Quincy Jones, Buddy Catlett and others. These songs are an absolute delight, a window into a joyful, rambunctious jazz past that is too often overlooked.”
    -Paul de Barros, Jazz Critic, The Seattle Times, Down Beat

    Greg Ruby – guitar & 6 string banjo
    Dennis Lichtman – clarinet & mandolin
    Gordon Au – trumpet
    Charlie Halloran – trombone
    Cassidy Holden – bass
    Julian MacDonough – drums

    Special Guest: Mike Marshall – mandolin on Valse Queen Ann & Valse Hawthorne

    “Waldron’s compositions have memorable melodies, unpredictable turns, and multiple strains. This is the equivalent of finding a folio of new Jelly Roll Morton or Tiny Parham songs.”
    – Michael Steinman, JAZZ LIVES

    This book & music collection reaches back to the earliest days of jazz in Seattle and introduces a new generation to the music of Frank D. Waldron — as exciting and enjoyable today as in the Jackson Street “Golden Age”.
    – Dick Stein, Jazz host, KNKX 88.5 FM
