Jazz Music Fans - today was so cool!

What a day the Smashbucks team had! If you are a true jazz aficionado, you will appreciate what happened to us today....

We were picking up some last minute Cybernext promo materials at Kinko?s when Freddie Hubbard, one of the greatest Jazz legends of our time walked up to us and asked "Hey man.. you kids know any companies that can convert old film footage to DVD?" I think he guessed I edit video due to the dark circles and bags under my eyes! After telling him about our company and explaining the process of film to dvd, we then enjoyed an hour of his life stories including spot-on Miles Davis impersonations that were hilarious!
Looks like we may have the chance to help him restore over 300 LP recordings that are out of print and produce DVD's of his European tours back in the day. We'll hopefully get to hear and see this stuff in the following weeks. Fingers are crossed that we get the chance to help him with this project. STOKED!

All I had on me was my shitty cell phone cam.. but here's the man!
