Unfortunately, I was totally unaware of Prominent Black American Composers. Since starting out aged 15 I was introduced to British and European Composers. Then a few years later I met the late Great Duke Ellington and his Orchestra. It was a pleasure to have a Session with them. I remember meeting Harry Carney and a few others whose names evade me now in my latter years. William Grant Still is indeed very new to me. However, I find his Symphony wonderfully melodic.

I just wish it wasn't so short! I'd gladly listen to this twice as long. I'm playing it in summer, proper looking forward to it

Really great performance. Is this a professional orchestra, or student, or both?
