Recorded live at the 1998 Windsor, Ontario Jazz Series and featuring trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, this CD takes you on a wonderful musical journey with two great musicians.
"On The Sunny Side of The Street" is guaranteed to lift your spirits and set your toes tapping while "What's New" brings back the melancholy sweetness of that golden era of music with Franz's sentimental, longing clarinet leading the way. "I Can't Get Started With You", one of Franz's favorite songs to do, will not only delight your ear but will tickle your funny bone as well when you hear him use his own lyrics to explain his lovelorn dilemma.
Backed by outstanding musicians and paired with Belgrave, one of the country's premiere trumpeters, Franz delivers another home run on this CD!
