According to Herman this was their reaction: "After the very first rehearsal, at which we were all so embarrassed we were nearly crying because nobody could read, [Stravinsky] walked over and put his arm around me and said, 'Ah, what a beautiful family you have.'"
Bravo!
So Woody; so Stravinsky! I love it:)
The rueful, cubist Jazz of Stravinsky and the successful Woody's endeavour!
I always wonder if the first reaction of the band members, when they saw the score was WTF?
