Ring / Various - Soul To The Pleasure - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Their influence on Bach and Handel notwithstanding, most of Johann Pachelbel's psalm concertos and cantatas for large vocal forces are today virtually unknown. Scored for all the instruments mentioned in the text (with slight alteration), his setting of the 150th psalm, InchLobet den Herrn in seinem HeiligtumInch, resulted in a work for 5 vocalists, strings, oboes, bassoon, recorders, harp (!), 5 trumpets (!), kettle-drums and basso continuo. This perfect example of Baroque musical splendor features lavish sound painting and elevated the genre of 'psalm concerto' to new heights.

Soul-Jazz artists such as Gene Ammons, Hank Crawford, Jack McDuff, Cannonball Adderley, Ray Bryant and Ray Charles are among the most-liked favorites. This compilation evokes that 'groove' of the great Soul-Jazz artists who were heard regularly on radio stations and jukeboxes all across the US. 'Soul-Jazz' brought together the best of the Blues, Gospel and Soul then added that extra spice of Jazz to create it's irresistible grooves.
