Hi Jiggs

I keep listening to Radio Big Band on BBC Radio 2 every Monday night and all
I can say is WOW!!

I hope you listen occasionally to the I Remember Stan album which you
recorded with the Shades in 1991 and before that the live recording of the
Midnight Concert at the Queens Hall at the Edinburgh Jazz Festival.

If those memories are long forgotten you can always visit us at

Dear Jiggs
 
I just bought your signature series King 2B and love it.    After playing a lot of horns over the years, including several 2Bs and 3 Bs, this is the one I have been searching for.   Can't say enough good things about it.

Hello Jiggs: Just found your website and was going through your 2008 schedule.  Wow, people in Germany, England and elsewhere in Europe sure are lucky. I think it's time that you bring one of your Big Bands to Canada and the US, because you would be a real big success in North America.  Anyway, I look forward to hearing you in Port Townsend this summer, Paul Brooke, North Vancouver, British Columbia.

Hi Jiggs,
 
It's been a long time since we took you to the airport in Cleveland, and even longer since we stacked wood and hauled corn. Give me a shout if you see this email

Hi Mr. Whigham,

I really enjoyed the three instructional videos on YouTube. Clear and to the point.  Also came across "The Way We Were" and loved it! Real sweet and heartfelt. Hope we'll get to meet one day. Thanks again and all the best.

Warmly,

Hello Jiggs,
 
I'll hopefully be seeing you at Night Town in Cleveland; where I've come rolling in every Friday for
6 years now. You have made this ol' Brush Arch and all of us from '61 so very proud with your gift... Thank you, and thank you for wonderful moments on Anderson Road too, when one could leave the noisy and busy world behind, to pick up and soon enjoy, some of those fresh and tasty vegetables from... "Whighams"

Just had to say how much I enjoyed   the show on Saturday in Edinburgh in the tribute to Basie. A really wonderful night and I loved the number you did on trombone with Jamie Davis. The band sounded better than ever. Look forward to next year when I hope you will be back!

Best wishes

It was great fun taping your lessons for StarsTeachMusic.com and finally meeting you after being a fan for many years. I'm sure
students will find the lessons as insightful and informative as I did. The chemistry you and Dick Nash had during your session together was very apparent on camera. Hope to see you soon.

All the best,

"Jiggs - you are truly one of the great jazz artists on this earth! Listening to your music is like entering another world full of musical expression, sophisticated rhythm and pure, straightforward, honest sentiment, all based on and mixed with your unmistakable technique. Don´t know how you do it, but you play that thing as if it was an integral part of you. The only question is - can you hold a candle to my all-time favorite trombone player Urbie Green?? :)
Greetings from an eternal fan of yours. Angelika".
