Maybe a worn out VHS tape but still a document of Chubby, Duffy and Steve Condos super talent. The VCU Jazz band sounds great with conductor Bob Greenhaw! Thanks for posting. Bopalot Music
When I was the band director at Nautilus Jr High on Miami Beach, I had a drum student by the name of Duffy Jackson. He was the most talented drummer I've ever had the pleasure to have as a student. He was a student that became not only an amazing drummer and Musician, but I am also so honored to have known Duffy who is someone that will be a part of my life forever!
Sometime back in the late 80's (not exactly sure what year) I went to a big jazz festival in Jacksonville, Florida... Great bands playing all day long. As the evening approached I was getting tired and was contemplating leaving. Then the Count Basie alumni band came on and WOW... I didn't know who the drummer was but he absolutely LITE the place up. 30,000 people immediately stood up and starting dancing, clapping and swinging... From the first note, the energy level went through the roof. I never experienced such drive from a band but it was the drummer. He was on FIRE... He had those 2 cymbals way up high and he would come out his seat and hit those things setting up the band at the perfect time. His time feel and tasty dynamics were truly stunning as he commanded the band through the arrangements... You could see his joy and love of the music from way out in the crowd. I was there all day and the only band I remember was Count Basie and it was all because of Duffy Jackson. That guy changed my perception of what it really means to be a world class musician, drummer and entertainer...
What's up with the quality of the video? Sometimes it seems to speed up, other times it seems to slow down, and this is reflected in the audio. The audio sounds distorted, like a record slowing down.
I couldn't be more proud❤ that's my father chubby and my brother Duffy and I love my legacy and my heritage.

Possibly due to being Copied from 40 year old videotape that has been played to death, thus stretching and the like will cause problems . JMO
