[78-L] 78-L Mitch Miller

[burlinson]

"Horn Belt Boogie" was one of the four pieces written by Alec Wilder for an 
EP
"Conversation Piece for Horns and Harpsichord" (Columbia B-1674) by Mitch 
Miller;
the others were "Serenade For Horns"; "Singing Horns"; "Horns O' Plenty". 
They were
recorded in New York on August 13th 1951 by:
Stan Freeman, harpsichord; Jimmy Buffington, John Barrows, Ray Alonge and 
Gunther Schuller
french horns......maybe a way of relaxing after suffering through a Guy 
Mitchell session???
