February is a special month

Gustavo Dudamel's music box included black composers long before there was a month for it.

Here, his rebranded "LAPhil" offers a bit of one of William Grant Still's five symphonies. Apparently "Philharmonic" is too weighty for our byte-conditioned brains to fathom. 

Classical has to chase the kids, bro. Yo, Phil.

How has Dudamel not discovered the New Dance by Wallingford Riegger? Gustavo, please copy.
