The Brothers Wild

From 2003 through 2005 the bass chair in the Temple Jazz Orchestra belonged to Steve Layne.   Steve's regular employment with a country group, however,  prevented him from playing with TJO at the Saturday Temple Jazz Festival concert each of those years.   Director Tom Fairlie's solution was to bring in bassist Ken Wild, to handle TJO's bass book, act as a festival clinician, and adjudicate bands at the festival.  The Brothers Wild took advantage of the visits to book other clinics and to gig at Austin's Elephant Room, in 2004 with that year's headliner, Eric Marienthal, and in 2005 with LA saxophonist Rob Lockart.
