Rumsey,Howard / Lighthouse All-Stars Plus Ten - Jazz Rolls Royce - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This 1957 recording was commissioned for the 1957 UCLA Homecoming Show and Bob Cooper was called upon to compose and arrange the music to fit this occasion. There are two recordings of Jazz Rolls Royce, a live recording and a re-recording made in the studio, with crowd noises edited in at the ends of various selections. This album is taken from the studio version, which was what was used on the Omega . The program consists of the UCLA fight song InchStrike Up the BandInch and five other original compositions by Bob Cooper. Like many other Omega releases, the intention behind this included a demonstration of the then InchnewInch stereophonic recording techniques and effects. Remastered. Album Tracks 1. Strike Up the Band 2. Prelude to the Queen 3. The Clown's Dance 4. Coop Salutes the 'Co-Op' 5. Bruinville, My Bruinville 6. Mambo Del Quado

For centuries, writers have documented the awe brought about by the pristine wilderness and untamed expanses of the American Midwest and West. Three authors in particular-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson-beautifully documented the boundless optimism and sense of opportunity that the country's vast natural resources inspired and heralded a new era of American thought. On TRANSPARENT BOUNDARIES, the three visionaries' words are set to music to give their poetic works musical life. Soprano Jamie-Rose Guarrine and bass-baritone Seth Keeton deftly lead the charge on a series of artsongs, accompanied by pianists Lara Bolton and Scott Gendel and cellist Karl Knapp. Guarrine's vocal elegance and innate lyricism naturally lend themselves to the vivid simplicity and inward reflection of Dickson, and Keeton's lower register captures the direct ruggedness of Whitman. To express the duality of Emerson, the pair come together for a duo to capture the author's ability to view all things at once in a single picture of beauty. By adding to the repertoire of contemporary artsong, TRANSPARENT BOUNDARIES honors the legacy of historic writings and brings their sentiment back to the foreground of American thought, ushering in a newfound sense of hope and optimism for the 21st century.

2 Disc set.Introducing the Wally Heider 3 Microphone Technique - the quintessential solution for capturing pristine audio quality in any setting. Striking a perfect balance between clarity, warmth, and depth, Hieder's labor of love revolutionized the art of audio engineering in his time and captured every nuance of every great performance from the grandest dance hall to the darkest corner of the jazz world with absolute fidelity. No venue too big or too small, Hieder painstakingly amassed a collection of silky-smooth recordings of huge historical significance that were decades ahead of the audio capture of the time, many of which provide some of the only known recordings of complete arrangements by these legendary artists. Now forming the basis of the Hindsight Records catalogue these 'Wally Hieder Library of Congress' recordings are newly remastered and proudly presented here for your listening pleasure. Next up Howard Rumsey and his famous Lighthouse All-Stars are captured on one of their fabled Sunday night performances at The Lighthouse Club. As the one and only jazz club on Hermosa Beach, Rumsey's residency here became a stepping stone for up-and-coming musicians (notably including a young Max Roach) and established names alike and the band can be heard in full swing on this double album, with tracks including 'Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise', 'A Gal in Calico' and 'Oh, Look at Me Now'.
