James Gaffigan is a fine conductor whom I've heard several times with the Cleveland Orchestra. After he completed his time on the conducting staff, he returned to Cleveland for several years to conduct a professional group called Citymusic Cleveland, which gives sets of free concerts in area churches several times a year. All of his concerts were occasions to be remembered. There was some kind of acrimony that led to his abrupt departure.
He is conducting the Cleveland Orchestra next week in Rhapsody in Blue, Schoenberg Piano Concerto (Gerstein), Herrmann Suite from Psycho, and Bartok Concerto for Orchestra.
He bears no resemblance to comedian Jim "Hot Pockets" Gaffigan :)
