These two albums were created by Terry Snyder, and recorded in 1960 and 1961 by Ultra Audio Records—the ultimate in stereophonic sound—with you, the listener in mind. This is moving Sound, high fidelity, and the apex in recording as presented by a true master in the field. In order to achieve the imaginative and creative new sounds he was looking for, Snyder called upon some of America’s most brilliant arrangers, including Stu Phillips and Joe Lipman, who along with his fellow musicians, and the best recording engineers, helped him create the most exciting percussion albums ever recorded. Mister Percussion and Footlight Percussion, are a thrilling musical experience, framed by brass and woodwinds, with startling arrangements and outstanding displays of brilliant musical sounds, played expertly by Terry Snyder and the All Stars.
