In 1997, before Red Blazer had closed, composer, producer, and owner of Sovereign Records, Inc., Ruby Fisher (Reuben Fischer; 1923–2009) invited Don Kennedy of radio's "Big Band Jump" show to come up from Atlanta to host "Live at the Blazer!" The one-hour program aired June 14, 1997 on Jump's 130 stations, was re-broadcast in August on New York's WQEW and now constitutes "Live at the Blazer! The Lew Anderson Big Band", Sovereign CDSOV-506, joining the band's previous Sovereign albums, "Feelin' Good, Yeah" and "Fired Up."
