Jim Pugh - New American Symphonies -2026- 24-192


New American Symphonies brings together trombone player Jim Pugh with a band of Jazz All-Starts including Bill Charlap, Ted Nash and Jim Beard plus conductor Marin Alsop.

The two movements from Roy Harris date from the 1930s and are here receiving their first recording ever. The Trombone Symphony was the inspiration of Harris’ wife, who was not only a highly respected pianist but also a jazz fan. “Roy,” said madam, “You should really write a symphony for Tommy Dorsey,” the smooth-sounding trombonist band leader, then at the peak of his fame. The opening movement is so wildly virtuosic that the Dorsey band couldn’t play it on the one time they tried. So, Harris moved on to a more peaceful tempo for the second movement.
