The New England Brass Band recorded its first CD last January and it 
has just been released; it was an unforgettable experience for all of 
us especially as we recorded it in Boston's historic Symphony Hall. 
For me in particular it was very special as not only did I conduct 
the disc, but I was soloist as well, and had the fun of my own band 
backing me up in Sandy Smith's arrangement of "Frosty the Snowman." 
The feeling of letting that pedal C go in Symphony Hall was like 
watching the sun rise over the Grand Canyon!

My website contains a number of items about the recording and 
recording session which some may find interesting (the CD itself is 
available from our Band's website, SP&S in London [and other cities] 
and Warwick Music):

Readers might also be interested in my comments on banding in 
general, which speak of my recording sessions as soloist with Black 
Dyke Band when we recorded my solo CD, "Proclamation":
