The April Episode of Raising the Bar debuts on steelradio.org this Friday! This episode means a lot to me, because I do a feature on my hero and teacher Herb Remington. The "live in the studio" recording is Nuages, the classic Django Reinhardt tune. I hope y'all get a chance to check it out!

Beautiful, Ethan. When I first learned B11th one of the first tunes I arranged was Nuages. It just sits in that tuning like a Cheshire cat. Nice tone and improv ideas!
