Product Description
CD Description
Several early white American bands recorded in Britain while on tour, for instance The Original Capitol Orchetra, a genuine 'riverboat' band of great historical interest who never even recorded in the USA. Another example was The Carolina Club Orchestra which later developed into the famous Hal Kemp Orchestra. Alto saxist Kemp made his first recordings in Britain with The Carolina Club Orchestra. Other examples featured here include The Southern Rag-A-Jazz Band and The Boston Orchestra. Most of these recordings are hard to find on original 78s and little of this material had been previously reissued on vinyl, let alone CD.

Woodland Sketches
11 Sep 2005
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
McDowell Woodland Sketches complete. This disk has both the piano solo version and the orchestrated version. Sound and playing are both first-rate.

Woodland Sketches - twice told tales, told brilliantly
29 July 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The character of MacDowell's Woodland Sketches is gentle and intimate. Nothing ever gets too rambunctious. He even dared to bring Uncle Remus into the mix. WHile Joel Chandler Harris' famous story teller isn't exactly common literary territory now, the character still has a strong place in history (even if an awkward one.)
This issue takes the entire set and offers it twice, first in a gentle and excellent orchestration of the pieces and then in their normal piano guise. The notes aren't terribly clear who orchestrated the pieces (my only quibble), but the instrumental performance adds perfect colors to the composer's pallette. Only the second movement middies the musical waters. Easy listening indeed, without resorting to syrupy music. (The orchestra is mainly a string quintet with a variety of woodwinds.0
Highly recommended.

Not what it seems
16 Mar 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The CD cover shown in the ad is not the CD that you'll receive. I was actually looking for the Americans in Britain CD that features one of my wife's ancestors in it. I didn't realize what it was until it had shipped. It isn't bad for a classical music CD, but it isn't the Americans in Britain that is shown in the picture.
