"Extra Credit" (Jim McNeely)
Performed by Chris Mehler Big Band live at "Altes Pfandhaus" in Cologne, Germany - September 12th, 2016

It's exactly 3 years ago, when I had my Bachelors Recital in Cologne. I can't say how much I am grateful to had all these great friends and musicians playing on that concert. It was a very special evening for me and I am always happy to listen back to this concert. Here is "Extra Credit" written by Jim McNeely. I was 16 years old when I heard it the first time played by the bujazzo and I immediately fell in love with it.
