Re: Rhapsody in Blue -- No not the gliss!

Just looking at this old thread because I have to play this in a few weeks (in the original band version I believe). Does anyone know who was playing the solo for the recording by the Philadelphia Orchestra with Ormandy- Gigliotti?

re my comments last year about rehearsal time/swinging etc. Musicians all around the world have to play pops concerts, and are able to swing quavers. my point was that for longer scores, and where there may be many places that are swung and many that are not, it can be very time consuming for the conductor to specify where he/she wants you to swing. I have performed pieces where we were told to swing in one place, and then the rest of the work everybody is trying to guess what to do because there is no time or opportunity to stop and sort it out (I'm talking about professional situations where there may only be very small amount of time dedicated to a work).
As someone who loves Jazz and grew up listening to this music, please don't imagine I think all music should be "straight", I'm just noting a situation that has contributed to making performances less than ideal.
