(off-screen Joe Jewell) I was trying to think back to when we starting playing…
I’m guessing that you know there’s so many activities at Fullerton College,
that somewhere along the line, somebody said...
“hey, can some Jazz group go play this president's dinner?” or something like that, who knows what.
And we played and i think from the very first time we played,
there was a real symbiosis musically and personally you know
and I knew that this could be a really great group…
(Matt Johnson) … where I can collaborate with individual’s whose music inspires me…
(Bruce Babad) Fullerton College, man we have some of the brightest teachers in music that I ever met.
(Joe Bagg) What’s important to me when I’m teaching young musicians is to,
um, uh, tailor my approach to the type of student they are.
I find some students are real natural learners
and other students need to have things broken down for them.
…and then Joe Bagg, oh-my-gosh, the encyclopedia of Jazz right there…
(Roger Shew) …Joe Bagg, I was just talking to Joe Bagg at the shoot yesterday and he came up to me and said,
“Hey Rodger, do you remember the first time we played together?”
I do remember, we we’re playing a wedding reception, in some hotel in [City of] Orange,
and we had to play and the drummer was late, so we had to play an hour just duo together.
So that was our “hey nice to meet you Joe, nice to meet you Rodger”.
When we played an hour before a wedding…
Uh this friend of mine Andy Park, he announced to me one day that he was moving back to Canada,
and I was just devastated, that uh, oh-man my friend is leaving
and almost immediately this song was born.
This sad song and uh the title seemed real obvious for the moment
and it’s called, “Farewell but not Goodbye”
