Seeking A CLASSIC Western Swing STRING & FIDDLE RECORDING

Post by Craig McClure »

Been Searching 20 Years......
While driving home one night (alert & unimpaired) I heard it on the University of Georgia Student FM Station.
I WAS COMPLETELY IMPRESSED.
It was described as: STEFAN GRAPELLI & DJANGO RHINEHARHDT playing a selection from AARON COPELAND's "RODEO SUITE".
IT resembled an intricately coordinated WESTERN SWING arrangement, without other accompaniment.
I have done everything I can to search for it. Perhaps I'm misinformed over title, BUT I'm SURE it was THEM - but playing in a very american western style.

*In my research, Copeland's "RODEO SUITE" included "HOE DOWN", & "BILLY THE KID" Only recordings I found were Orchestrations - I didn't recognize. Will greatly appreciate any help to locate.
THANKS, C .
