Reviewer:Batmaster - - June 3, 2006 Subject: Sousa's band without Sousa Sousa did not usually conduct the recording sessions. Arthur Pryor, the gifted trombonist, usually conducted the recording sessions. But in these recordings you may hear Pryor, Herbert Clarke on cornet, and other fine musicians of the band, and the dynamics, phrasing, and extra fluorishes are probably well representative of what one would have heard in concert in that era. Outstanding.
