John Stevens, "Journey"

Greetings to all!
- I recently started off the school year, and my "big project" for the year/semester, is John Stevens' "Journey." However, I can't seem to find any commercial or YouTube recordings. I just wanted to see if anyone knew of any? Was planning on asking my teacher in person, but was referred here.
Thank you in advance!

Someone was asking about that earlier this year, I believe, and the consensus was that there were none (and I, in fact, still can't find any). I would reach out to the composer (if you can't find anyone to help with that or find contact information, try his publisher) and see if he has a premier recording or something like that.

Wrong! There is a great recording of Gene doing it. Live, I believe. It's with orchestra, not piano so you might prefer that or be upset. But a recording nonetheless!

Well, there you go. I couldn't come up with that in a google search, but apparently it exists.

I remember the first time I Googled it years back I couldn't find it. And then my teacher was like "Google Gene Pokorny Journey" and it's the first one.
Stupid internet...

There aren't any "official" released recordings on CDs or albums as far as I know. There are, however, some Bootlegs floating around. Here's one such bootleg:
