It was in 1966 that Seiji Ozawa wanted to bring the blues style of the Siegel-Schwall
Band onto the symphonic stage. Corky Siegel has been bringing blues to classical music ever since (see Chamber Blues). This clip is from a 1971 PBS "Great Performances" presentation with Arthur
Fiedler, Boston Pops, and Siegel-Schwall performing a clip of William Russo's Three Pieces for Blues Band and Symphony. Siegel-Schwall was formed in 1965 and this is the eairlest known video of
the group.
