George Bruns
George Bruns: I came here on Sleeping Beauty actually, but we didn’t really record that until 1957. We had to go to Germany to record it because of the musicians’ strike.

They called Ward Kimball asking if he knew a jazz tuba player. Through all my jazz contacts and recording I knew Ward. Ward recommended me to come out and do a tuba solo. […]
