My
name is Ethan Weisgard, I play percussion in the Danish
Radio Jazz Orchestra. My wife is Japanese and she found your website on the Internet. Do you play yourself? I am sorry, I don't know so much about Japanese musicians. Gomen nasai! We are now recording in Copenhagen with Jim McNeely. We are making a new album with some of his new numbers, written for us. I have translated your wonderful review of the album "Nice Work" and will give it to Jim today. I know it will make him very happy to read your kind words. I can see that you are a real big band fan! I was with the DRJO in Japan last year with Palle Mikkelborg, at the Yokohama Jazz Promenade. It was a dream come true for me, to play in Japan. The band loved Japan. Everybody wanted to stay longer in Japan, but we had to continue on tour. I sometimes come to Japan with my wife and children to visit family and friends. We are usually in Ibaraki-ken, which is where my wife comes from. We are also often in Tokyo, to visit friends. I hope to meet you sometime! Please keep up the good work on your website. If you wish to answer me, Japanese is OK. I can read a little bit of Japanese, but I am very bad at writing! Sincerely, November
