Pull up a chair, grab your beverage of choice, and welcome to the inaugural gathering of The League of Extraordinarily Caffeinated Gentlemen.

In this high-octane roundtable edition of You Dig?, Steve Wiest is joined by:

• Glenn Kostur – saxophonist, composer, and longtime collaborator of Maynard Ferguson (Big Bop Nouveau) •

Art Bouton – Director & Founder of the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra (CJRO) •

Tom Matta – composer and bass trombone professor at DePaul University

What follows is equal parts jazz wisdom, pop culture detours, tool philosophy, Minnesota Vikings trauma, Hank Mobley reverence, David Letterman nostalgia, mashed potato theology, and a surprisingly profound meditation on the meaning of life.
