Claude Bolling Sextet with additional winds, brass, guitar or banjo, and strings

Bolling recorded the original eight-track Philips LP in Paris in October 1965.

His sextet was enlarged with winds, brass, banjo or guitar and, for Eine kleine Nachtmusik, strings, allowing the arrangements to move from Mozart into sextet writing and New Orleans ensemble passages.
