Voice of an 'Angel'

Just a quick mention for the voice of an angel. Originally from Rio, she has the most wonderful six-octave voice, has been a part of some of the best Latin Jazz music made since the 60's and still sounds (and looks) amazing. Her attitude and personality shine through her vocals and bring the freedom and experimental spirit of the 60's and 70's to us even today.

Look out for some of my favourite tracks and don't forget to comment!

Open Your Eyes - Stories To Tell - Insensatez - Reza - Airto's Jazz Dance - Andrei - Moon Dreams - Light As A Feather

and many, many more. . . ..

Dixieland Way - Sid Phillips Band

In America, as well as Europe, the name Sid Phillips automatically ties up with King Of Clarinet. This title was bestowed upon him by American music critics during a series of broadcasts on the C.B.S. Network in New York some years ago. Now, more than ever, this distinction is obviously merited. One has only to hear a few phrases and Sid's virtuosity and position in front of the world's great clarinet players are unmistakable.

Summer Sambas - Duncan Lamont

"The bossa nova had it's brief moment of hit parade glory in Britain at the beginning of the last decade in the shape of Antonio Carlos Jobim's Desafinado, but it's influence has remained constant in popular music ever since. The soft, subtle beat of Brazil's modern Samba can be heard everyday on the radio airwaves as arrangers draw upon it for colour and contrast in their scores, and it has joined and largely superceded the beguine and the bolero in this respect. It is a matter of regret that we seldom hear genuine Brazilian tunes over those same radio airwaves, but at least the bossa nova rhythm has firmly and permanently implanted itself on the map of international pop music."

Stereo Spectacular

The concept of the Stereo record is barely a decade old in this country, but it is as much a part of today's musical scene as the family gathering around the piano was in the last century. Stereo has brought the full sound of the human voice and the musical instrument back into the home, but in a bigger and better way.

The Happy Hammond Goes - Pop Country

The influence of country music on the British charts over the past few years has been more substantial than many people realise. From the 'King' of country music Hank Williams Jnr. came three of his greatest million sellers namely "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Jumbalaya" and "Hey, Good Lookin'"; these form the basis of a very interesting collection of classic country melodies arranged specially for the Hammond organ.

You don't have to be a country and western fan to enjoy this album as it is styled to suit all tastes. If you were not sure of the origins of these songs this will serve as a tribute to the contemporary country writers whose material falls into many categories.

Gerry Butler was taught the rudiments of music at the age of six by his father, a notorious "pub" pianist in the Stockton-On-Tees area. Such was Gerry's ability that several 'breaks' in his schooling were caused by the objections of his headmaster to his playing in a dance band. After completing his National Service with the R.A.F. ha has played with the following orchestras:- The Blue Rockets, Teddy Foster, Vic Lewis, Oscar Rabin and before going freelance, ten years with Bob Miller as staff arranger.

Side One

1. Gentle On My Mind
2. Detroit City
3. Release Me
4. Jumbalaya
5. A Million Tears From Now
6. Hey Good Lookin'

Side Two

1. He'll Have To Go
2. King Of The Road
3. Take These Chains From My Heart
4. Little Green Apples
5. Silver On The Table
6. Your Cheatin' Heart

The Happy Hammond Plays The Hits Of

Burt Bacharach.

When the happy sound of the Hammond organ meets up with some of the world's most popular and enduring melodies, any record turntable is set for some lively entertainment. Especially, of course, when the collection of songs stem from two of the most creative and prolific songwriting minds in pop, messrs Bacharach and David.

Ena Baga, one of four sisters, was giving public performances as a church organist at the age of twelve and was a professional organist at the age of fourteen, initiating a glittering career. Now, Ena is passing on her vast experience to the organists of tomorrow.

As a party companion you'll find no better company than the kind of atmosphere that this album provides and if your taste is merely to listen and enjoy some of the finest pop melodies ever written then just sit back. The happy Hammond sound, on this occasion provided by a model TTR, and the genius of Bacharach and David will do the rest for you.
