Very satisfying

Um, it might just be that I know the young woman playing this lead last night pretty well.   She practised this a lot, and (especially when mic-ed up as she was at her school music gala last night), it sounds (I think) pretty damn impressive:

Update:  In the interests of even handedness, I might also know the young man who does a sax solo during this Big Band opening last night:

    I share your disdain for the rants against the younger generations if only because it reeks of that age old commplaint. The under 30's I know, admittedly only a few of them, are all doing very well, working hard, and are not narcissistic spoiled little brats.
