FOUR WORLD PREMIEREs:

Manhattan Roll (Robert Beaser)
...from the vibrantly articulated triplets in the trumpets, soaring horn lines, and brash pedal points in the low brass (doubled colorfully by the organ) of the Mackey tune, to the joyful exuberance of the Adams, to the pure Bernstein: a little Bach, a little swing; something high-brow, something down home, to the inclusion of four incredible world premiere recordings!.... this diverse, solid offering is superb!
It will appear to the wind band fan and should have the additional interest of music students everywhere.
