[Dixielandjazz] Rachmaninov prelude

[Bob Romans]

I just went through my library, and just finished copying Russian Rag for my
band. It's the Cobb arr. transcribed from a piano part by the late Herb
Newell...Cell Block 7 is going to get this piece tomorrow at rehearsal. I
hope it's as good as it looks...we'll see...
Warmest to all!
