What People are Saying About the SRJO
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
Here is a small selection of comments sent to us from folks who have recently attended our concerts:

Clarence and Michael,

Your concert yesterday was without question, the finest performance ever by your group! Each musician was superb and in great attitude, grooving and smiling and listening intently to each otherıs solos. They obviously felt that they were part of an amazing organization. Their obvious sense of personal capability and having fun came off the stage to us in waves. The unbelievable scoring and performance of ³Early Autumn² had many in tears. Each selection was better than the original! Thanks for the experience of a lifetime! We look forward to seeing and hearing you again in June.

Sincerely,

- J & M, Kirkland


I regularly attend the SRJO concerts at Nordstrom Recital Hall, and attended the tribute to Louis Armstrong recently.

I just finished listening to your recording via NPR/KPLU's podcast. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the recording - it's very sharp.

What a tight group, and what a great recording!

Thanks so much!

Dear Mike and Clarence,

My wife and I were able to get to the SRJO session at the Anacortes Jazz Festival last weekend - the first time weıve been able to hear the band in a couple of years. It was excellent a few years ago when the CD was produced. Now it is outstanding, in my humble estimation!! We particularly enjoyed the enlarged spectrum of selections over the past couple of years...which brings me to the point of this missive - are there any plans in the works for [another] CD? Thanks to you and the rest of the orchestra for the pure enjoyment you bring with such fine arrangements and excellent performances.

Dear SRJO,

You are just doing a wonderful, monster job in keeping the best of jazz alive. You guys make life worth living. Words canıt convey my appreciation.

- BP, Lynnwood


Dear Michael,

This was a fantastic concert -- we were there in Kirkland. You, Clarence and the whole group have a wonderful, warm rapport with the audience and the sounds you all make are great!

- MT, Olympia
