Incredible Band of John Philip Sousa

By: Paul Bierly

John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) is an American icon. Most famous for his military marches, the composer bandmaster led a disciplined group of devoted musicians on numerous American tours and around the world, shaping a new cultural landscape. Paul Bierley is the world's leading authority on every aspect of the "March King's" band: its history, its star performers, its appearances on recordings and radio, and the problems faced on the 1911 trip around the world. Spanning 504 pages and enhanced by more than 120 images and photographs, this book also contains six statistical appendices detailing where the band played a complete list of musicians, instrumentation of the band, program listings, and a discography. No book could be more complete, and The Incredible Band of John Philip Sousa is the book to own if you are a Sousa fan!
