Jazz music community with review and forums

The American composer, teacher, band leader and trombonist William (Bill) Russo (1928-2003) is probably better known for his work as a band leader, trombonist and chief composer-arranger for the Stan Kenton Orch. (1950-54). However, he wrote a number of orchestral works which might be characterized as third-stream scores.

His ballet, The World of Alcina was composed in 1954 for a 25 piece jazz orchestra. It has five sections. This recording on an early Atlantic LP features the composer conducting a group of jazz musicians from the Chicago area.
