Trooper, Greg -and Band-
Up On The Bandstand
I always felt the November 15, 1997 show in Chiari, IT has got something to it that would deserve an official release. To begin with, there are no live discs with the full band in the catalogue of our man. Secondly the sound quality is awesome and the quartet is tight, well rehearsed and delivers a super-solid performance. Third, Greg's singing truly shines. When Jack Trooper, Greg's Son,heard the master he liked it from the get-go and shared my feelings. As a result, he kindly authorized the release and, the Gentleman he is, did not ask for advance royalties. Hence these are being paid based on actual sales figures. I want to thank Jack for his kindness and for his nice words referring both to the recording and the artwork.
