The Greatest High School Band Of All Time Plays Hard Soul, Funk And Jazz On This Double LP Overview

The word is out The Kashmere Stage Band was the greatest high school band - ever. The bandleader at Kashmere High School, Conrad Johnson, transformed a bunch of rough-hewn Houston high schoolers into a band that could compete with any in the nation – professional, or otherwise. Forget high school bands, we're talking about sixteen year old kids who would give the JBs a run for their money!

The Kashmere Stage Band released a total of eight albums and three 45s on Johnson’s Kram label.

The band’s best tracks are collected on Texas Thunder Soul 1968-1974.
