Several months ago there was a thread on this board regarding an arrangement of Carioka- played by Harvey Phillips. I talked with Harvey again yesterday and here is the story: The arrangement was done by Lon Norman, who was a staff arranger for the Army Field Band when Mr. Phillips was in the band. It seems that Mr. Norman, on a Friday evening, asked Harvey if he could arrange something for him to play with the band. Harvey said Lon had "gigs" both Friday and Saturday evening. On Monday morning, Harvey was presented with the finished score and parts of Carioka for solo tuba and band-- no mistakes, corrections, etc.! He said that Lon also did two additional arrangements for tuba and band-- Send In The Clowns, which Harvey has performed frequently, and an arrangement of When Yuba Plays the Rhumba on the Tuba that has never been played.
