From the liner notes...

On this CD, 14 guests shared in making
the music, each having contributed their
own part to the history of the "Note". I was
particularly honored to have performances
by Fred Kepner, the man who first organized
and directed the Airmen of Note in 1950;
alumnus Tommy Newsom, saxophonist
extraordinaire and former lead alto of the
Tonight Show Band; and the remarkably
gifted trombonist Dave Steinmeyer, former
director 1979-1989. The Airmen of Note
also appreciates the donation of time and
contribution of world-class talent from
these alumni who reside in the Washington
D.C. metropolitan area:

And finally our very special guest, one of
the jazz legends of our time, Mr. Joe
Williams, who once again honored the
Airmen of Note with his amazing voice.
