Boston Pops Orchestra, conducted by Arthur Fiedler, playing "Jazz Legato" and "Jazz Pizzicato" by Leroy Anderson on RCA Victor 10-1089-B, released in 1939. Leroy Anderson wrote his first original composition, "Jazz Pizzicato", in 1938 and it became an immediate Boston Pops hit. But when Arthur Fiedler wanted to record it, he noticed that it would fill up only half of a 10-inch 78rpm side, so he asked Anderson to write a companion piece to fill up the side, and out came "Jazz Legato". The record has a small piece missing on its edge.
Player: BSR UA25 curiously mounted sideways in Canadian-made Shelbern console.
