In Memory of Bud Wright and Chris Nielsen

 

   Bud Wright - Oregonian, jazz fan and dancer extraordinaire -

loved the Big Bands, and especially Les Brown,

and Portland's own Art Abrams Swing Machine.

Chris Nielsen hosted NPR jazz shows

"Sentimental Journey", "One Night Stand",

and "Make Believe Ballroom".

 

   Both are gone but never forgotten.

Please enjoy these Big Band selections,

not only in their memory,

but in your honor.

 

Your host,

Bob Riddle
