Trombones Unlimited – Sunday Morning

I

Frank Rosolino

Listen/Download – Trombones Unlimited – Sunday Morning

Greetings all.

This week we pull something from the ‘easy but interesting’ file.

Margo Guryan’s ‘Sunday Morning’ is one of those sort of “hidden’ standards of the 1960s, in that it was a wonderful song, covered a bunch of times, yet doesn’t seem to have broken through to the wider consciousness.

Among the great versions of the song are those by Spanky and Our Gang, Oliver, and Julie London, among others.

The version I bring you today comes from an unusual source, that being Trombones Unlimited.

Trombones Unlimited were a studio group out of Southern California that recorded a half dozen albums between 1966 and 1969 for the Liberty label.

The albums were arranged by Eddie Karam, Tommy Oliver and George Tipton, and some of them featured serious jazz players like Frank Rosolino.

Today’s selection comes from the group’s final album, 1969’s ‘Grazing In the Grass’ where it was alongside covers of tunes by Aretha Franlin, Sam and Dave, Tommy James and the Shondells and Hugh Masekela.

This is not to suggest that the end result was in any way soulful, which it wasn’t. My guess is that the sounds were supposed to appeal to ‘beautiful music’ stations and the cover info was supposed to reel in unsuspecting kids and hi-fi hipsters.

The cool thing is, Guryan’s melody is so wonderful that it manages to survive the buttery treatment it gets here.

These albums, like many similar instrumental efforts pumped out by Liberty, Imperial and so many other labels in the 60s, are cheap, and worth picking up if you are a cover version junky like myself.

I hope you dig it and I’ll see you all next week.

Peace

Larry

Greetings all

I am in the process of gearing up for this year’s fundraiser, as well as a reassessment of blogging/podcasting workload.

All podcasts, Funky16Corners Radio Show, Iron Leg Radio Show and my weekly live bag, Testify! on WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio will continue going forward.

The actual written end of the blogs may undergo some truncation to accommodate the increased production schedule.

I want to keep the Iron Leg Radio Show as the first post of the month, so the new episode will be dropping next Sunday, 6/2/17.

This week I’m posting this past week’s episode of Testify! which I think you’ll dig if you enjoy either of the blogs/podcasts.

You can also hit up my archive page over at WFMU for the previous episode, as well as all episodes going forward (broadcast every Wednesday night from 10-12).

So dig this, and I’ll see you all next week.

The Sound Symposium – America / Darling Be Home Soon

The Collage

Listen/Download – The Sound Symposium – America

Listen/Download – The Sound Symposium – Darling Be Home Soon

Greetings all.

We have delved into the world of “Easy” a great deal over the years here at Iron Leg.

As was discussed at length back in ‘The Party’, I have a great appetite for the intersection of Squaresville and Coolsville, especially when it arrives courtesy of mainstreamers attempting to co-opt, or at least interpret the sounds of the younger generation.

Sometimes this is a deliberate approximation of that world to create a mood in a movie or TV show (i.e. Mancini, Vic Mizzy etc) or it is a reinterpretation of pop/rock material for home uses, i.e. easy listening LPs meant for oldsters, Hi-Fi enthusiasts etc, in which we get to hear the songs that the kids dig in a mellower, easier to digest format meant to come wafting into your den as you sip cocktails with your guests.

Today’s selection falls into the latter category, and is an especially tasty example of the form.

From what I can tell, arranger Larry Wilcox did most of his work in the mainstream pop world, working on sessions for Top 40, but generally short-haired types with the occasional hip session (sides for Dionne Warwick, Betty Wright and Aretha Franklin) mixed in.

During the mid-to-late 60s he arranged a string of albums for Dot Records under the name of the Sound Symposium, including ‘Paul Simon Interpreted’ (1968), ‘Bob Dylan Interpreted’ (1969) and the disc which yielded today’s selection ‘Contemporary Composers Interpreted’ (1968).

Unlike a lot of similar efforts, the Sound Symposium albums seemed to have been aimed at a slightly high-minded demographic, i.e. a somewhat hipper (yet not hip/young enough to grab the real thing) crowd.

Oddly enough, even though they did whole album devoted to Paul Simon, the version of ‘America’ was not included on that (though I wouldn’t be surprised if it came from the same session).

‘America’, which first appeared on Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Bookends’ album lends itself well to this kind of interpretation, already being qquite mellow. The Sound Symposium version leans heavily on the strings/woodwinds of the orchestra with just enough ‘plugged-in’ sounds (drums, electric guitar) to keep it interesting.

The arrangement by Wilcox is quite nice, indicating a certain sympathy with the material and more focus than the usual easy session.

The horn touches, tremolo guitar and percussion are all well done and make for a pleasant and interesting listening experience.

The version of the Lovin’ Spoonful’s ‘Darling Be Home Soon’ (one of my favorite songs) has some very nice production touches (the subtle panning of the strings in the beginning of the song is very cool), and the use of xylophone in counterpoint to the strings (actually two separate string lines playing side by side) is cool.

The producer, Paul Tannen seems to have followed a similar trajectory to Wilcox, working mostly with mainstream pop artists through the 1960s.

I’d still like to find the Paul Simon/Bon Dylan albums by the group.

I hope you dig the sounds, and I’ll see you all next week.

Peace

Larry

The Alan Lorber Orchestra – Flute Thing/Up Up and Away

Alan Lorber, In the Studio

Listen/Download – The Alan Lorber Orchestra – Flute Thing

Listen/Download – The Alan Lorber Orchestra – Up Up and Away

Greetings all.

At first glance, the album that yielded today’s selections might seem to be yet another in a long line of exploitative attempts to co-opt the youth market with a dash of exotica from the Raj.

A look at the career of the album’s creator, Alan Lorber, who had along history writing/producing/arranging mainstream pop would likely reinforce that belief.

Yet when you allow the stylus to wind its way through the grooves on the record, what is revealed is not a cash-in, or a lazy appeal to hipsters, but something of unusual and rare beauty, hiding under an unusual veneer.

Lorber was a NY based composer/arranger who worked in the 50s/60s and 70s on the kind of mainstream pop and R&B sessions that would suggest a detached, professional journeyman, doing whatever work came down the pike.

Yet sometime in the mid-60s, Lorber started to get his hands on deeper, more interesting things, working with more progressive artists, and, most interestingly on the record you see before you, ‘The Lotus Palace’ by the Alan Lorber Orchestra.

Recorded in 1967, the album covers a lot of contemporary material (Beatles, Sergio Mended, Tim Hardin and the Blues Project) as well as offering a couple of originals.

The group put together for the session suggests not only the East/West fusion suggested by the cover, but an exploitative/serious fusion as well.

The name Vinnie Bell, inventor and primary proponent of the electric sitar is there, but it sits alongside that of world music/new age pioneer Collin Walcott who contributes acoustic sitar and tabla as well as famed sessioners Hugh McCracken and Jerome Richardson (who also recorded for Verve), which taken as a whole suggest something else entirely.

Once you listen to the album, it is immediately apparent that this wasn’t some throwaway, but rather a serious, well executed bit of musical fusion, that ought to be better known than it is.

The two tracks I bring you today are covers of the Blues Project’s ‘Flute Thing’ and the Jimmy Webb-penned 5th Dimension hit ‘Up Up and Away’.

‘Flute Thing’ was already a slightly trippy affair, but the ALO takes it into uncharted waters, adding tabla, gamelan and sitar. The new version has a deeper, stranger feel to it, and the counterpoint of the gamelan and the double-tracked flutes gives it a very far-out feel.

It’s interesting to contrast the ALO version of ‘Up Up and Away’ with the much better known (at least among Now Sound types) take by Rajput and the Sipoy Mutiny, which has a following thanks to being reissued and played frequently on the Howard Stern Show.

The Rajput version – released on an even more budget-y wing of Pickwick (if that’s possible) called Design – is cheesy, bordering on inept and has a certain amount of comic value.

The version by the ALO is a masterwork of subtlety in comparison. Better played, arranged and produced, delivering well above its pay-grade. Compared to the rest of the ‘Lotus Palace’ LP, it does sound kitschy (probably due to the familiarity of the song) yet even then, it’s a great listen.

Lorber’s arrangements are thoughtful and progressive and the playing by all involved is top notch.

Lorber was also involved in MGM’s (unfairly) notorious Boston Sound in the late 60s, producing Ultimate Spinach, Puff, Orpheus and Chamaeleon Church.

Despite the fact that he was a very busy man early on, Alan Lorber seems to have stopped working as a producer sometime in the early 80s, and there’s nothing out there to indicate what he’s been doing since then.

His work on ‘The Lotus Palace’ makes me wish he’d done more in that vein. As far as I can tell though the album was reissued by Big Beat in the 90s, it is out of print today. There were also a few 45s released at the time, but none of them contain non-LP material.

Fortunately, original copies of the record aren’t usually too expensive.

I hope you dig the tracks, and I’ll see you next week.

Peace

The Bill Shepherd Singers Soften Up the Bee Gees

Bill Shepherd (l) and the Bee Gees (r)

Listen/Download – The Bill Shepherd Singers – Turn of the Century

Listen/Download – Bill Shepherd Singers – Red Chair Fadeaway

Greetings all.

Well, here’s a wild one.

A while back, I saw the album you see before you today posted a few different times, and even absent a sound clip, I was suitably intrigued, and went out in search of a copy.

It didn’t take too much time (or money) to track one down, and when I did, I was utterly baffled.

I have gone off into “easy” territory in this space many a time, but usually the records involved were adult types (i.e. no rockers of a certain age) attempting to glom onto the youth sound and market.

‘The Bill Shepherd Singers Sing the Bee Gees Hits’ is a straight up easy listening (like Montovani/Ray Conniff level) joint, with the only hip connection being that all of the songs were previously done by the Bee Gees.

Or so I thought…

As it turns out, Bill Shepherd is a very interesting cat, who I should have known of before I went out looking for this record.

Shepherd was a UK-based songwriter/arranger who – interestingly enough – is the co-writer of ‘Zou Bissou’, which became something of a sensation when it appeared in an episode of ‘Mad Men’ with Jessica Pare miming to the 1961 Gillian Hills recording of the song.

He was also, and this is the most important factoid, the man who did the arranging on all of the early Bee Gees popsike-era albums!

Having been listening to these albums for decades (I even own the boxed set with all the alternate versions etc), how I missed his name is a testament to the solidity of blind spots.

That said, the album is weird, not because of the juxtaposition of material and presentation, since the Bee Gee’s songs lend themselves quite nicely to an ‘easy’ vibe.

What’s weird is that things never cross over into any of the usual electric sitar, phasing/echo, heavy drums-au-go-go that you tend to find on albums like this. The whole thing is played straight, start to finish, in a way that would have passed muster on WPAT (THE big easy listening station in the New York area when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s) back in the day.

I picked ‘Turn of the Century’, mainly because it lends itself so easily to the style, and ‘Red Chair Fadeaway’ because it is one of the more psychedelic offerings on the ‘Bee Gee’s 1st’ LP and just strikes me as novel in this delivery.

It is certainly a wonderfully calm (perhaps bland?) album, and recommended highly to collectors and aficionados of stuff like this.

I shall be digging into it further as time allows.

I hope you dig it, and I’ll see you all next week.

Peace

Larry

Welcome to this month’s episode of the Iron Leg Radio Show.

This month I have a cool one for you, with a set of UK psyche and freakbeat (with a little Dutch garage tacked on at the end), a long set of covers of songs from the musical HAIR and some pop new arrivals.

It’s a little longer than usual, but that just means more music.

It also just so happens that today is the exact fifth anniversary of this podcast, with the first ep having dropped on 5/15/11! So dig that!

See you next week.

Don Costa – Heroes and Villains

Don Costa

Listen/Download – Don Costa – Heroes and Villains

Greetings all.

Time, this week for something groovy, easy, and somewhat breezy.

If you fall by Iron Leg on the reg, and check out the podcast, you’ll already know that I have a highly developed taste for that mystical area where the cool meets the square, especially in regard to “easy”/mainstream bandleaders and arrangers dipping their batons into the top 40.

A quick scroll through the archive will turn up many examples thereof, most of which are reworkings of bigger pop hits, that Mom and Dad might already have a passing acquaintance with.

But every so often one of these cats wrapped their ears around something a little unusual, as in today’s selection.

Don Costa was a very busy producer, arranger, A&R man and conductor, working with pop, jazz and even country artists through the 50s and 60s.

He was also a talented guitarist who recorded a number of his own records (some under the pseudonym Guitar ‘Muvva’ Hubbard).

His 1967 LP ‘Modern Delights’ was composed almost entirely of his arrangements of contemporary Top 40 hits.

A while back someone posted about the album on Facebook, and when I looked it up, what should I discover, perched at the end of side two, but a version of one of my all time favorite songs, Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks’ (via the Beach Boys, of course…) ‘Heroes and Villains’.

‘Heroes and Villains’ lent itself readily to this kind of orchestral treatment thanks to its structure as a mini-epic of sorts and its suite-like feel.

Costa’s take on the song is undeniably “easy”-er than the OG, you can tell that he really got what Brian was onto, and the results are very groovy, indeed.

It makes me wish that he (or someone similar) had given an entire album over to similar reworkings of Brian’s work.
I dig it a lot and I hope you do too.

Don Costa continued to work (including recordings with his daughter Nikka, who went on to be a soul/funk singer of some renown) until his untimely death in 1983.

See you next week.

Peace

Larry
