Ray Marchica was the house drummer for the Rosie O'Donnell Show for six years, but while that may have been his bread and butter, he's also ...
Bud Shank and Phil Woods: Bouncin' With Bud & Phil: Live at Yoshi's
by Dan McClenaghan
Bouncin' With Bud and Phil features a front line of two veteran alto saxophonists, Bud Shank and Phil Woods, in a freewheeling, sometimes thoughtful, often elegant wailing live session.
