Found this one today and was wondering when did this phenomena of High School Jazz Bands releasing LP's begin??
This one from '67 is the oldest one I can remember seeing.

    I think high school band records have been around since the invention of the custom record label. The oldest one I have is from 1963 but this century catalog lists some High school LPs from the 50s:

    edit: oops I read your first post wrong, I thought you meant high school records in general.

    Is there a HS Band Compilation and/or series?

    If not, then why?

    Licensing is next to impossible.

    I would guess that high school jazz bands would have been an unusual thing before the early/mid 60's. Jazz was still a disreputable music in a lot of people's eyes until the break through of artists like Dave Brubeck and Miles Davis in the late 50's.

    "Johnson, Klitzman & Funk" sounds like the law firm in a Mel Brooks movie.

    Found this one in a free bin today and thought of this thread. Junior High stage band 2xLP from 1962.

    Can't remember who posted it on here, but there was one called T.I.M.E. Todays Individual Mind Expression Valley High School that was pretty funky

    I only heard a few tracks on it, but remember wanting to hear the rest
