THE
premiere Third
Stream recording, from the movements founding father,
Gunther Schuller...
Pulitzer Prize recipient and Down Beat Hall of Fame/Lifetime
Achievement Award winner Gunther Schuller conducts first-ever
recordings of his own jazz compositions and arrangements from
the years 1947-1966. Guest artist, tuba/bass clarinet
virtuoso Howard Johnson joins Bostons most talented big
band, Orange Then Blue, for hard-swinging arrangements of standards
such as Blue Moon and Anthropology,
as well as Schullers own Night Music
and Jumpin in the Future
(the first completely atonal jazz chart). These treasures
from the halcyon days of cool jazz are a must for every jazz
lover.
