Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing the documentation of a phenomenally successful diplomatic tour, this secondary volume further illustrates the orchestra's absolute dominance of the World's Fair stage. The fiercely swinging, incredibly tight brass charts effectively introduced the pinnacle of traditional American dance music to a deeply enthusiastic European audience.
