Ray Davies Kinks Choral Collection CD (2009)

Riviera Sunrise album

$15.05

Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance of rock & roll by pushing the songs forward with guitar, and letting the rhythms swing instead of plod. This looseness is the first big surprise of the album. The second is its unrepentant but quite possibly accidental silliness, how many of the major guitar riffs are transposed for choir, ...

Herb Alpert South Of The Border CD (1964) Remastered; Special Edition

Riviera Sunrise album

$10.49

Herb Alpert/Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass/Tijuana Brass: Herb Alpert (trumpet); John Pisano (electric guitar); Tonni Kalash (trumpet); Bob Edmondson (trombone); Lou Pagani (piano); Pat Senatore (bass guitar); Nick Ceroli (drums). Herb Alpert was still using an array of SoCal studio all-stars as his Tijuana Brass when South of the Border (1964) began to restore the combo's good name after the modest Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Vol. 2 (1963) failed to ignite a fire in listener's ears. In his essay accompanying Shout! Factory's 2005 Signature Series reissue of South of the Border, Alpert comments that the Sol Lake composition "Mexican Shuffle" "opened a new door for me." That passageway meant the loss of the Tijuana Brass' practically forced mariachi style and the rise ...

Revolution Ensemble Kabbalah Blues/Quantum Funk CD (2000)

Riviera Sunrise album

$11.39
With all of the musicians and members of the ensemble having some form of classical music training, one may expect to experience songs with classical qualities. Some of the songs certainly have classical elements, but Peter Saltzman, who composed all of the songs on the album, has taken elements from other genres and incorporated them into the compositions. This makes for fresh and original material that allows one who is not a lover of classical music to experience the genre in mild doses. The melody for "Oseh Shalom," which is the root of "Prologue," is by Max Helfman and is used with permission from Transcontinental Music Publications/New Jewish Music Press. With a psychedelic jazz essence, the opening track, "Prologue," is graced by Gingi Lahera's melodic and soulful vocals. The many instrumental nuances used throughout the "Prologue" capture the listeners at each twist and turn of the intriguing melody. With an experimental jazz quality at the center of the song structure, one gets to experience a short aural journey into new musical frontiers done by masters of the craft. The melody for "Oseh Shalom is also at the root of the "Finale." The use of Jill Kaeding's talented presentation on the cello gives the melody great depth and breadth. There is so much happening instrumentally on the "Finale" that the listener is virtually blown away by the intense melodic beauty created. Jeff Stitely maintains a soft and masterful presence on percussion, which creates a strong foundation that allows for the magnificent instrumental and vocal expansions. Peter Saltzman and the Revolution Ensemble have come up with the ultimate musical journey and experience on Kabbalah Blues/Quantum Funk. The album finds the ensemble tapping into the groove of contemporary American urban music, the freedom and energy of rock, the improvisational qualities of American jazz, complex song structure, the marvelous tonal color of classical music, and the emotional qualities of blues. The lyrics are expertly crafted representing American life and experiences in vibrant portions. This is an album that ultimately delivers mass doses of listening entertainment, which has so much going on that one will find something new to marvel at with each listen. A must-have for the musician who starts thinking that it has all been done before. This album proves, once and for all, there is much more that can be done if one knows what one is doing and is able to accomplish the technical portion. If one finds it too difficult to achieve a goal, sit back and listen to the Revolution Ensemble -- it doesn't get any better than this. ~ Larry Belanger The Revolution Ensemble includes: Peter Saltzman.
