On the subject of Pan Pioneers , I'm still awed by the sound the great Anthony Williams created when he blended or matched a set of pans to Winnifred Atwell's piano.From the historic 1969 collaboration between two Trinidad music legends,The Album "Ivory and Steel", here is the 1964 Julie Rogers pop hit."The Wedding"

Poets and Peasants was played by both City and Pan Am but the rendition of Intermezzo by Pan Am made the difference and Pan Am won.

Margaret: Just for the records Pan Am North Stars did not win the music festival with "Poets & Peasants" they did so with "Intermezzo In E Flat" composed by Anthony Prospect. Poets & Peasants was played by City Syncopators. The year 1966.

With all the comments on this awesome performance - it will be so good to get a recording of that concert. I know I will be willing to purchase a CD,so if anyone has information on that please share.

In addition, Pan Am Jet North Stars also did a concert with the Marionettes Chorale that had two stunning pieces of music -- Poets and Peasants and Oklahoma - the blend of voices and pans. North Stars had won music festival with Poets and Peasants.

I was at this concert in Queen's Hall. Hearing this recording brings back so many great memories of pan. I actually had the LP of this concert, loaned it out and never got it back. If there is a CD available to purchase I would love to get to get it.
