With understandable pride, the orchestra played a modern Dutch composition, Henk Badings' Symphony No. 2 (1932), a sturdy work that might have been written by a latter-day Brahms, its three movements definitely dissonant but never harsh. High point of the concert was Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe Suite No. 2, in which the strings provided a deep, sunset-colored perspective for the shrill syrinx tones of the piccolo, and the brasses built easily to a sweeping culmination.

With six longtime jazzmen of Bunk's own choosing, he plays a free & easy program of twelve tunes, e.g., Chloe, Some of These Days, Out of Nowhere, in his simple but highly polished style. There are a few quaint runs and riffs straight out of turn-of-the-century New Orleans, but every number has the glow of on-the-spot invention...
