This musical series ran semi regularly for almost ten seasons-sometimes weekly, sometimes biweekly, and sometimes as irregularly scheduled specials. All types of music were presented on the hour series; Donald Voorhees conducted the Bell Telephone Orchestra.

"The Sights And Sounds Of New Orleans" was a SPEICAL broadcast,  the thirteenth program exploring the world of fine music. 

The sights of New Orleans are a blend of European and American; the sounds of New Orleans are the sounds of music.
We  tour the Crescent City, combining views of its landmarks with visits to the places where its music-classical, operatic and Jazz is created. 

We are introduced to jazzmen Pete Fountain and Al Hirt as well as some talent that's not so well-known: the Young Tuxedo Brass Band is heard heading a traditional jazz funeral march with "Lead Me, Savior"; the Hard Hats, construction workers  play jazz during their lunch hour; and DeDe Pierce sings the Creole song "Eh, La Bas" at Preservation Hall. 

New Orleans also has a new symphony orchestra, and its opera company, founded in 1809, is the oldest in North America. Werner Torkanowsky is heard conducting the orchestra in excerpts from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet," and Met soprano Gianna d'Angelo rehearses and performs in the title role of Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor."

Michael Tolan narrates. 

NOTE: This broadcasts was presented without commercial interruptions. The sound is pristine.

George Plimpton , Leonard Bernstein , Saul Goodman

Author George Plimpton performs with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic. Invited by Maestra Leonard Bernstein,  Plimpton joins the orchestra for a two-week tour witch is recorded every step of the way. 

George Plimpton finds out how his colleagues chose their instruments, learns of the joys and frustrations and tensions they experience and gathers anecdotes about conductors they have worked under. 

NOTE: 
Another venture for George Plimpton reporting his experiences in the world of processionals and artists such as when he pitched to Willie Mays and quarterbacked for the Detroit Lions. 

His latest venture, performing with the New York Philharmonic, was a trial he states that was excruciating as getting whacked by legendary boxing champ, Archie Moore.

Skitch Henderson is host to this "Big Band Music Special" broadcast on WNEW TV Christmas day from 3:30pm to 4:30pm.

Up first is the Count Basie Orchestra. 

There are a number of instrumental numbers and also included Leon Thomas singing "Shake Rattle & Roll." We hear Eric Dixon and Al Aarons featured in a number of instrumental including "One O'Clock Jump."

Part 2 of the broadcasts, as Skitch Henderson states, is a memoriam to Claude Thornhill and his orchestra. We hear a repeat of an early 1960's Big Band broadcast.  

Orchestrations and vocals by the Joel Ikes singers include "Little Girl," "There's a Small Hotel," "Never on Sunday," "Samba Melody," "September Song," Night & Day," sung by The Snowflakes, "I Don't Know Why?" "Autumn Upturn," "Piano Roll Blues," "Muscat Ramble," " Polka Dots & Moonbeams,"  and orchestra leader Claude Thornhill's signature song, "Snowfall."
