I just came across a Sauter-Finegan Orchestra LP (I don't think that it's been reissued on CD) on which Harvey Phillips plays some really cool tuba licks, particularly on the Sauter/Finegan theme song, "Doodletown Fifers."

During what years did Harvey Phillips play with Sauter-Finegan? (It's interesting that two other musicians in the ensemble, pianist Bernie Leighton and horn player John Barrows, recorded recital LPs with Mr. Phillips.) What other tubists played in this band?

Are the Sauter-Finegan charts still available for sale or rent? When big band/orchestra leaders who believe that tubas can't swing are hiring for gigs, it would be great to suggest these arrangements and know how to get them. Harvey sure swings on this recording!
