William Grant Still composed five symphonies, this is my favorite. Blues, rhythm, and wonderful melody. Thanks for making this beautiful symphony available. It sounds very good with my Bose earphones.

John McWhorter of the NYT mentioned Still in his story on Rhapsody in Blue on 2/22/24. I found this marvelous performance and heard Still’s work for the first time. Thank you !
