This is a beautiful show. Check out Frank’s tone on the opening solo track, it’s beautiful.
What is this thing called love?

Hi and thank you so much for the music. I am a sax player and it is a treat to hear these tracks. Is there a way for me to download these concerts? I cannot fiure it out. Please let me know. I love the Frank Morgan concert. I saw him once in New Orleans not long after he got out. He played with some University students that he had been giving a workshop to. He had the most beautiful tone. I talked to him a bit and he was very humble and friendly.
Cheers,
Ian
