“THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY”
Galen Jeter and Dallas’ Original Jazz Orchestra
Jazzmark (119)75 minutes of solid, swinging, big band music by the premier lead trumpet player in Dallas, Galen Jeter, leader of Dallas’ Original Jazz Orchestra. Their dedication, and love of America’s original art form jazz, shows on this CD.
“Galen Jeter’s love of music has not wavered in the many years I have known him. Although a successful biology teacher until retirement, he has never lost the dedication to keeping a band going in Dallas.
His latest recording is evidence of his talent as a first-rate trumpet performer. On this new recording you'll hear his powerful lead with the excitement which he always gives to the music!
All the performers are to be commended for ‘staying the course’ although they did not do this for financial gains - they did it for love of the challenge to play these fine arrangements as a team.
CONGRATULATIONS to Galen and everyone who contributed to making this new big band jazz recording available to those who love fine jazz!”
