Magnificent performance!! the use of banjo in this piece is very beautiful. excellent job to everybody involved!

Great job by Mr. Nel and the clarinet soloist. He should have played the clarinet feature on Prelude Fugue and Riffs

I wonder if the orchestration is In keeping with the Paul Whitman original performance? It looks like it could be.

[@donaldsaigh8785]

The inclusion of the banjo makes me think that it is the original Whiteman orchestration.

@@donaldsaigh8785 This amazingly great arrangement by Donald Hunsberger, which he based on the 1924/1926 Ferde Grofe orchestrations. The colors just sound so 1920s to me! Lots of cool touches like the banjo and soprano sax solos.

@@donaldsaigh8785 banjo is always used in this piece whether it's the large orchestration or the original jazz band orchestration, which is what this is.
