MomsMobley Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 This could go classical I reckon but since it was jazzmen playing it at first... A hod carrier I know was playing this all day at a small archeology site I visited in south central Pennsylvania a few weeks ago and I just got around to listening to the copy she gave me listening more closely. This kind of thing has-- and always had-- perilous crossover potential, I know, but in a world that still not only tolerates, but celebrates, offal like Ella Fitzgerald pipsqueaking Gershwin (which no, ain't worth it for Nelson Riddle cruise control either), I'll take it-- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031B7EOU A previous Harmonie Ensemble album on the Bridge label of Gershin/Grofe is wild too-- My link One wonders, and hod carriers too, what Allen Lowe would think of Al Gallodoro's alto playing?

MomsMobley Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Mr. Majestic: how do you know about Lincoln Mayorga? Not that you shouldn't but he's a great talent who sort of falls between the usual orthodoxies; as you well might yourself, of course. Allen: yes, Grofe is wonderful, I'm stunned by the level of execution and, to use a five letter word, "swing" on both these discs. Sort of the symphonic jazz equivalent of the best Randy Sandke or Vince Giordano performances? I thought you might know of Gallodoro, a certain type of legend-- My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 just vaguely, I must admit. Will have to do a little more looking-into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have 3 of their 45s. Amazing to keep them, when so much other R&R/R&B/Soul/Funk got ditched in the late sixties. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
