Isaac Scott - Big Time Blues Man - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

As the golden age of the blues drew to a close, a new generation of artists was emerging. At the heart of this shifting era, successors to the blues throne were making their presence felt, poised to shape the genre for years to come. Isaac Scott, born into a deeply religious family, had his early years steeped in the melodies of gospel music. However, in a twist of fate, his father embraced the devil's music alongside their devout Christian beliefs. With this unique background, Isaac would embark on a mission to nurture his deepest passions, infusing soul, gospel, R&B, and the blues with his own modern touch. With a fearless exploration of sound and style, Isaac and his band became leaders among the new wave of musicians sweeping across America and the torchbearers of this incredible genre. 'There's Gotta Be a Change' and Isaac was gonna be the one to make it.

This delightful and lighthearted album features virtuoso clarinetist David Shifrin performing Carl Nielsen's Clarinet Concerto in a newly arranged accompaniment for chamber orchestra. The dramatic work unfolds unpredictably in short, contrasting episodes that allow the soloist to explore a range of moods and colors. We are then treated to Nielsen's charming Six Humorous Bagatelles, written for his children. From the simply put InchHello, HelloInch to the final InchMusical Clock,Inch these endearing pieces radiate good humor and adventure. Nielsen's early Fantasy Pieces with their varying moods and harmonic twists reveal Nielsen's romantic side, and his Serenata in Vano for wind quintet shows off Nielsen's affinity for wind instruments and his quirky, playful sensibility. InchIf there is a bel canto school of clarinet playing, Shifrin is surely it's finest exponent.Inch (The Los Angeles Times)
