Transcription of Stan Kenton's "Prologue (This is an orchestra!)"
by Jörn Marcussen-Wulff

There was nothing this man couldn't play! And I was fortunate to spend some time with him in Redlands. One of the most celebrated geniuses in American music, & one of the sweetest men I ever met, always with a big grin on his face. Indelibly unforgettable!

Extraordinary transcription, Mr. Marcussen-Wulff. Wow! wonderful work.

Everyone has a role to play -the bass trombone is the bottom, which is part of the whole to get to the top.

Jörn !!! Congrats. And: Thanks.

Nice job. One correction: Johnny Richards wrote this, not Bill Russo. I have the original Richards score. Also, Russo verified to me that it wasn’t his.

[@jmwmusic16251]

Thanks for the correction, i wasn't sure about that. Johnny Richards was the conductor of this session, but Russo was named in the booklet as the arranger.

[@TerryVosbein]

@@jmwmusic16251 It looks like you copied the 3rd trombone incorrectly from the original Richards score in measures 23-24. It shouldn’t be unison with the 2nd trombone.

I´m glad i´ve met you JMW!

[@mkapper9800]

This is amazing! Are other Kenton arrangements available elsewhere? Like "America", "Concerto to End All Concertos"? Thanks for sharing!
