I just received a two-CD set called The Leroy Anderson Collection. On it
(the reason I ordered the set) is a recording of Clarinet Candy, with a
heavyweight quartet: Jimmy Abato, Herb Blayman, Roger Hiller and Bernie
Portnoy. Whew! What playing! Also on the discs are two recordings by
cornetist Jimmy Burke, who was with the Goldman Band for 32 years, plus the
Baltimore SO for seven. He had no use of his right hand at all, so he played
as a lefty, using a tripod support for the cornet. What an amazing player!
