A friend of mine was invited to this recording session at a NYC hotel, and the two of us went. We were the only 'civilians' in the studio. and it was fabulous! We were 19 years old, and had been following the big bands for years. It's a thrill I will never forget. Bob G.
Amazing song - perfect for the drum corps adaptations that followed. 2001 Madison Scouts - Hot Jazz Madison style. They covered B in B too that year as their opener and that last note will go down in history as the loudest accoustic sound ever made on a football field
@Laconic913 an old family friend (former Army band conductor) willed this album, and many more, to us before he died. I hope to get the other tracks on here soon.
Hi Matt, it absolutely is on the album and it is really neat. I don't have a way of dubbing from my 1959 Motorola record player to web but if you're looking for the album you can find it here: www.discogs.com/Les-Brown-And-His-Band-Of-Renown-Vic-Schoen-And-His-All-Star-Band-Stereophonic-Suite-For-Two-Bands/release/4817294
Thanks for putting this up. I had an "air check" recording of Suite For Two Bands-- all tracks.. "Air check" is a recording off of a radio.. This album is priceless as noted below. It's also good to see the Ted Heath and Edmundo Ross tracks on youtube from the Phase 4 stereo experiments period.
My dad, who was a trumpet player, had this record when I was a kid. I remember asking him once why he never played it -- he said it was "too loud." His tastes ran more towards Harry James and Billy Butterfield, so looking back on it after 55 years, I can sort of see what he meant. LOL

One of the finest recorded albums ever (in my opinion). Stereophonic version is amazing

An amazing song, and an amazing album
Neato! I have this album, the original 1959 pressing with the fold-out jacket. Love it.
GLC2013 can you PLEASE post a recording of Sorcerer and the Latin? It's on that album, isn't it?

Who else is here because of Madison Scouts

(Bugs Bunny clapping: "WHAT A PERFORMANCE, DOC! WHAT A PERFORMANCE!"
Can you post Four Score & Seven? Heard Madison do it and I'd love to hear the original version...
That's a huge compliment...coming from Stravinsky.
Have you heard the 70 Kingsmen? I have both corps recording.
Anaheim Kingsmen 1970
stravinsky liked this schoen guy. he said he was a rule-breaker
A 5 minute instrumental thats too long to play on the radio. What the fuck were you thinking?
