Broadway's Favorite Clowns

Broadway's Favorite Clowns picks up where our first collection of the Six Brown Brothers left off. While the first set emphasized the ways in which the Brown Brothers were at the forefront of the saxophone craze of the 1910s, this release paints a more rounded portrait of their stage repertoire. The package includes 24 tracks and features a 24-page full color booklet with lots of rare images and insightful notes by Brown Brothers expert Bruce Vermazen.

Masters of the Clarinet, 1892-1920

Masters of the Clarinet showcases the men--many from Sousa's and Gilmore's bands--who made the clarinet an integral part of the early recording industry. Clarinetist and professor Stan Stanford guides us through the story of the clarinet, giving a history of how the instrument became a staple in the recording studio. The set boasts 32 tracks--some among the earliest and rarest Archeophone has ever issued--and a 24-page booklet that features rare images and brief biographical sketches of the artists.
