2-CD Set: The Art of Garnell Copeland (1942-1977). Taken from live recitals from 1965-1967, these previously unreleased recordings were made in concert on the Kimball organ at First Presbyterian Church, Oakland, California, and on the Aeolian-Skinner at St. Thomas Church, New York City. Although there are some imperfections in the recordings, they are offered here as a testament to the great artistry of this brilliant young organist, and, as such, are offered as an historic document.
