Product Description
The great new, young, Craig Raymond and the Next Generation Big Band, are now two years into their future, and it looks extremely bright in every way. A solid line up of play dates and fans around the world clamoring for more. The public is telling us, "when the new Craig Raymond CD is released, just ship it as soon as possible!"Since November 2003 through June of 2004 (8 months) one recording was on the nationally televised cable channel, (Music Choice's) top 10 chart of big band and swing music! It was Craig Raymond's exciting, today's version of "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" on Alanna's CD (It's Our Time) ACD 5599. That's an oldie, oldie! Brought up to date kickin' and dancin'! The Public The Critics The Media The Reviewers as one, say, this is one of the greatest new swing and dance bands ever! Fantastic news in today's topsy turvy world of good, and even great, music and talent, getting lost in the formatted ether of numbness. Thank you Critics Choice, and to all those who are willing and able to keep the flames of new talent and great standards alive. This wonderful CD title "Let's Dance Band Stand" is borrowed from, and a tribute to, a music man who for thirty consecutive years has played, and is still playing today the GREAT music on Duquesne University's Jazz FM radio, WDUQ. "Let's Dance Band Stand" with Len Hendry is the reason GREAT music has been available in the greater Western PA area for so many wonderful years. Many thanks, Len. Songs Includes: Swingsville, Skylark, I Wanna Be Loved, Somewhere in the Night

Historic Organs of Philadelphia, produced by OHS........2007-02-14

At first sight, this 4 Cds set is quite pale with a more than sober presentation, entirely flat green coloured. But overcoming this unusual appearance worthed the price. Lets mention for instance, the booklet: 43 pages, an anthology by itself. Well documented and full of explanations, pictures, details of all kinds, it's a must to the listening.

This project of revitalizing special historical organs, 32 here, is very interesting by the variety of pieces and styles, all put together to entertain people. Let put it that way: it's a popular approach to classical organ, not too crunchy for an unfamiliar audience. Just few theatre organ pieces which are frankly not my cup of tea.

With four Cds, the repertoire is ample (more then 50 pieces), and the variety of genre makes room for everyone's taste. The only weakness, which is not proper to this particular set, is some lack in interpretation, maybe due to the variety of the repertoire without common approach. So, what it gains in size may be lost in style. Few interpretations are fair and recording at times, quite standard.

Few good discoveries though: Sowerby's Pageant Cd 1,1 with a continuo on the pedal : an athletic performance, Roger Ducasse Cd 1,2 quite exiting. The Chopin Cd 1,3 could be better. Rapidly performed, this piece is to my view, better on piano, so the organ deep breathing is not very accurate, but for sure, it makes the effect. Pieces including quires are very interesting and easy going: Cd 2,3 for instance puts you in the mood of sing along !

On the whole, a good set for collectors, those who like organ as instrument more then repertoire, those who prefer a relaxing and pure pleasure of listening while in concert on weekdays... Nothing heavy or too much conceptual as some other organ performances are at times.
