One of the tunes we're playing tomorrow is "Tonk" by Ray Bryant. This Mike Abene arrangement first appeared in our book for our Ray Charles tribute with Maceo Parker, but has become a reoccuring feature ever since. It features Billy Test on piano, Ludwig Nuss on trombone, Rob Bruynen on trumpet and Jens Neufang on bari sax, conducted by Mike Abene. | WDR Big Band
