Recorded live at Franz's 95th birthday concert in November, 2007, this 2-disc set allows you to experience what it was like to be there that very special night when Franz achieved a milestone (hence the album title). The organic recording arrangement and the introductions and commentary by emcee Neil Tesser (revered Chicago jazz critic and reviewer) make the listener feel as though they're sitting front row center for this once-in-a-lifetime event.Featuring some of the best jazz performers around, all of whom came to pay tribute and celebrate with Franz, this concert was a instant collaboration of professionals. Despite no rehearsals and the fact that some of the performers hadn't played with each other in years (some had never even met!), the result is a full-on, life affirming celebration of Franz's spirit and musical legacy; even more poignant because he left us six months later in May, 2008.Performers include: Franz Jackson (tenor sax and vocals)Eric Schneider (alto sax, soprano sax, clarinet)Tad Calcara (clarinet)Art Hoyle (trumpet and fluglehorn)George Bean (trumpet and fluglehorn)Yves Francois (trumpet)Larry Dwyer (piano and trombone)Ed Bagatini (trombone)Jim Pickley (piano)Chris Carani (bass)Darrel Tidaback (bass)Hugh Leal (banjo and guitar)Bob Cousins (drums)Billy "Stix" Nicks (drums)Hank Tausend (drums)Judi K (vocals)Crystal Ristow (vocals)Neil Tesser (emcee)
