Description
With the recent passing of Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas at the amazing age of 103 we’ve come to the end of that bit of movie history. Frank thought we’d have our own trip down memory lane now with some of the great songs from the golden age of the Hollywood Musical played in some very special arrangements.  We hear the truly great playing of Rod Franks, a double tracked tuba and the current Young Brass Award Winner Siobhan Bates.
