This is one of those books that sells for hundreds of dollars on Amazon because there are no copies anywhere. This all changes today. With Pioneers in Brass, Glenn D. Bridges has compiled an invaluable resource and his nephew Paul T. Jackson has bundled it into a modern-day collectible that no serious brass musician should be without. This edition includes 53 profiles of early bandleaders and brass players as well as 65 full-length music selections from the original wax cylinders and platters of these fine players.

This monumental undertaking by Glenn Bridges was a labor of love, that culminated in an interactive CD-ROM that used multimedia to showcase biographies, photos, newspaper clippings, and recordings of the most important players in our early history. People like Herbert L. Clarke, Arban, Bellstedt, Huber, Levy, Liberati, Pechin, Rollinson, Smith, Staigers, Saint-Jacome, Ernest S. Williams, and many more. Over time, the specific type of CD-ROM used for the project became unsupported by modern operating systems, so this large PDF includes all of the biographies, photos, newspaper clippings, recording lists, and audio files, that you would have found in the original disc, but in a more versatile format.

Your purchase includes the 139-page book (including the Trombone Addendum) and all 65 audio files of the original wax cylinders (full list below).
