Jim Pugh - New American Symphonies (Limited Edition Black Vinyl)

The new album by Jim Pugh, New American Symphonies, is now available to pre-order! Nearly ninety years after legendary bandleader Tommy Dorsey abandoned an ambitious new symphonic work deemed too difficult for its time, trombone virtuoso Jim Pugh has finally brought the music to life. New American Symphonies unites Pugh with Grammy Award-winning engineer and producer Jim Anderson and acclaimed producer Ulrike Schwarz for the first-ever recording of Roy Harris's long-lost trombone symphony, originally written for Dorsey in 1938. Captured in stunning Digital eXtreme Definition (DXD) and immersive audio at Power Station at BerkleeNYC, the album pairs the rediscovered Harris composition with Night Suite, a contemporary multi-movement work written specifically for Pugh by composer Scott Ninmer.
