About this product

Frankie Avalon was one of the teen stars to emerge in the post-rock 'n' roll era, as the moguls of Tin Pan Alley encouraged the music to evolve towards a lighter style of pop which had a broader appeal to the mainstream of middle America. Starting his recording career as a boy-star trumpeter in his mid-teens, he was signed by the Chancellor tag in his home town of Philadelphia, and between 1958 and the effective end of his chart career in 1962 he had 30 hits in the USA and UK, including the iconic No. 1s InchVenusInch and InchWhyInch. One his pop career began to wane he developed his movie acting, and became a ubiquitous star of 'beach movies' during the '60s. This great-value 61track 2-CD collection comprises tracks from his debut releases as a trumpeter for the 'X' tag in 1954, plus all his A and B sides for Chancellor during these years, along with selected tracks from his albums during this era, albums InchFrankie AvalonInch, InchSwingin' on a RainbowInch, InchThe Young Frankie AvalonInch, InchSummer SceneInch, Inch... And Now About Mr. AvalonInch, InchA Whole Lotta FrankieInch and InchItalianoInch, which often show another side to his talents as a song interpreter. It naturally features all his 26 US and UK chart entries, including the No. 1s InchVenusInch and InchWhyInch, and the Top 10 hits InchDeDe DinahInch, InchGinger BreadInch, InchA Boy Without A GirlInch, InchBobby Sox To StockingsInch & InchJust Ask Your HeartInch. It's a comprehensive and entertaining overview of the career of one of the archetypal teen stars of the years immediately prior to the cataclysmic arrival of the British Invasion, and a showcase for his versatile talents as a vocalist across rock 'n' roll, teen ballads and sophisticated pop Album Tracks 1. Trumpet Sorrento 2. The Book 3. Trumpet Tarantella 4. Cupid 5. Jivin' with the Saints 6. Shy Guy 7. Teacher's Pet 8. De

Brooks / Bang On A Can All-Stars - Passion - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Big expressive gestures, heavy basslines, pop and rock influences, jagged dissonance and New York-style InchdowntownInch noise are all signatures of composer Jeffrey Brooks' vibrant and electric music. As a longtime friend and associate of Bang on a Can's founding composers (Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe), whom he first met while a student at Yale in the mid-1980s, Jeffrey Brooks might be best known for his wind ensemble work Dreadnought (1996), but more significantly, he is one of the few modern classical composers with a penchant for chasing rhythm in a way that even urban dancefloor DJs can understand. The Passion collects three of his most compelling works After the Treewatcher (2012), Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother (2015) and the epic title piece (2017). Featuring edgy, raucous performances by the Bang on a Can All-Stars and the New York-based large ensemble Contemporaneous (conducted by David Bloom), the recording is, in essence, a tribute to the lasting power of friendship, and a triumph of the human spirit. Album Tracks 1. After the Treewatcher 2. Capriccio on the Death of a Beloved Brother 3. The Passion
