Dr. John Hair is a local treasure. Otherwise known as “Dr.J,” (as in Dr.J’s Jazz Café on Monroe Ctr) the widely respected trombonist is known for his leadership and involvement in the West Michigan jazz community. This album is comprised of all original homegrown compositions of national caliber. -PeteVARIOUS ARTISTS
