In 1969, two of Trinidad's most renowned and legendary artists collaborated to create music, and to produce an album that was to become a musical milestone and a cultural phenomenon. Pan Am North Stars Steel orchestra, led by steelpan pioneer and legend Anthony Williams, and celebrated world famous pianist Winifred Atwell would produce an unique and beautiful blend of the two musical media that is unparalleled to this day. Using pans specially tuned by master pan tuner Anthony Williams for the occasion, the two disparate elements blended together so perfectly that at times it is difficult to identify the different instruments. Here , in its entirety is that album. "Ivory And Steel" -- Glenroy Joseph

    Glenroy Joseph have great taste for excellent talent. I was not present for that memorable performance. I had the great pleasure of meeting the late great Winifred Atwell along with my Dutchy Brothers Band while competing, and performing for the very first band de monium contest sponsored and promoted by the late great Lord Melody at the wonderful Queens Hall in 1961. Winifred Atwell was a judge of this  competition, along with Major Dennison and Major Prospect, great band masters of the police bands of Trinidad & Tobago. The Dutchy Brothers won that competition. I agree that the history and great talent of Winifred Atwell should be taught in all schools in Trinidad & Tobago, plus a statue of her should be paced in the ministry of cultural affairs and one in Woodford Square publicly.

    Memorable phase in the development of pan I was there in Woodford Sq when these two giants gave a free public performance.to a huge appreciative crowd. That was back when Woodford Sq was a learning centre for the new nation.
