Second Wind Jazz Ensemble: Hyperventilating

Recorded September 12, 2004 at an "Indian summer in the park" concert in Portland, Oregon's Oak Hills neighborhood. Here are a few MP3's to give you a taste of the band. Click the sax by each tune to listen.

Straighten Up and Fly Right - "The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air." Cynthia Plank sings you the whole sordid tale! Solo: Steve Tolopka (tenor sax).
   
The Pink Panther - Inspector Clouseau's on the trail of "The Phantom" with Steve providing tenor sax assistance.
   
It's Only a Paper Moon - It's a Barnum and Bailey world, and Cynthia's back to tell you just how sweet love could be.
   
Down Home Cookin' - And the cookin' is mighty tasty! Big Ed Reese leads off with meat-and-potatoes baritone sax, Cynthia Plank adds flute seasoning, and Byron Bender serves up killer guitar dessert. Dig in!
   
Love Potion #9 - Wayne De Vore caps off the evening with this "tender little ballad" of a visit to Marie Laveau. Steve Tolopka (tenor) and Mike Peters (trumpet) are kissin' everything in sight!
