Music for Brass by Gunther Schuller, John Lewis, Jimmy Giuffre & JJ Johnson

[Teasing the Korean]

I have TWO copies of an early Columbia LP called:

• Music for Brass by Gunther Schuller, John Lewis, Jimmy Giuffre & JJ Johnson.

By the way, I keep a copy of this LP; it's just that I keep running across additional copies and can't bear to leave them behind.

PM me this evening for details on each, if you're interested.

OK, the thrift store truck is taking the first two, but I'm not parting with my two extra copies of Music for Brass by Gunther Schuller, John Lewis, Jimmy Giuffre & JJ Johnson.  I'm determined to find a good home for them.

Someone's got to. I've always been intrigued by it but never got a copy, just found one cheap on Discogs

The vinyl on both copies is very clean.  The covers have some wear, but nothing you can't live with.

Gunther Schuller's "Music for Brass" is a spectacular piece.  In my youth, I must have listened to it a hundred times.  I had the good fortune of hearing Schuller conduct it in concert.  In the same concert, he performed one of his pieces for 16 French Horns. Yes, 16!

Very cool!  In the 1990s, when I lived in Beantown, I saw Schuller conduct a concert at NEC.  It was, IIRC, his transcriptions of early big band arrangements whose charts were lost.

Both of my copies are pristine.  It's a mono LP.  The groove noise is out of phase, and when you play it back in mono, the stylus travel noise disappears.

Where do we go for the Brandeis Festival music that was not added to this issue? That is what is added, right?

The Babbitt and Shapero pieces are missing.
