Oh yeah, it's Giant Steps playing "Green Dolphin Street". That was special guest, David Hall, playing the hot clarinet solo. 

Playing with Giant Steps were Craig Baker, trumpet; Dru Davison, Sax; Joy Sanford, piano; Corey Emerson, bass; and Carl Abraham, drums. They played a great show at Jazz Thursday.

The Little Big Band closed the show and one of the songs we played was a Tom O'Conner arrangement of "Thangs".
