Bruno Ribera - Grand Orchestra Strings volume I (1986)

Bruno Ribera

Grand Orchestra Strings

Volume I

Delphine 830 307-2

There is not much I can tell you about Bruno Ribera apart from that he is a French conductur, arranger and writer. He has worked with a number of artists like Johnny Hallyday, Michel Sardou and Richard Clayderman. Like many French artists he works together with Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint. Olivier Toussaint had made most of the arrangements for this album and From Paul de Senneville we find his best known song, made world famous by Clayderman, Ballade pour Adeline, which De Senneville wrote when his daughter Adeline was born.

The arrangements on this album were written especially for two string orchestras of 38 musicians each. One orchestra plays the melody, and the other accompanies the first. So there are 36 violinists, 18 violists, 16 cellists and 6 double bassists. A rhythm section of 10 musicians was added so there are 86 musicians here.

Well, that's all the info I can give you.

I know, again movies, but I couldn't help it. My wife had send me to the attic to get her something and I came back with this album from 1970. I saw it and thought that I simply had to post it. Had to go back to the attic to get my wife what she wanted, cause I had forgotten all about it, but she's got it now.

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass- Christmas Album

A beautiful Holiday classic from Herb

-- recorded for A&M during his glory years, and done in the core Tijuana Brass style,

but with some added arrangements on voices and strings by Shorty Rogers!

The album's worth it alone for Herb's great take on the Bacharach groover

"The Bell That Couldn't Jingle" --

but it also includes the tasty track "Las Mananitas",

plus the holiday favorites

"Winter Wonderland",

"Jingle Bells",

"The Christmas Song",

"Sleigh Ride",

"Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" and

"Jingle Bell Rock".

10 tracks in all, the perfect backdrop for the holiday office party

Edmundo Ros - Latin Festival (1968)

Edmundo Ros and his Orchestra

Latin Festival

Decca Stereo NY 800 106

Edmundo Ros (born 1910), who will turn 99 next week on December 7th, formed his first own band in 1940, Edmundo Ros and his Rumba Band, after having played in different bands. He mainly played for the high society in clubs in London. Princess (now Queen) Elizabeth had her first public dance to his music at the Bagatelle Restaurant in London. The newspaper reports about this event made Edmundo Ros famous. His orchestra grew to 16 musicians. He owned his own club in London. In 1975 Ros retired and only came back once in 1994 to make his last public performance. He made over 800 recordings and this Decca compilation of 1968 brings you a few of those recordings.

The Lounge Legend Ballroom Collection (2009)

Ballroom dancing can be divided into two different sections. According to the World Dance Council these are the Standard or Modern Dances ((Slow) Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slowfoxtrot and Quickstep) and Latin or Latin-American Dances (Samba, Cha cha cha, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive). I have made two compilations for you containing all ten Ballroom Dances. If you like them, just leave a comment. Here at Lounge Legends we simply like to share the music that we like and it is always nice to get comments to keep one motivated to go on with what we are doing.

I hope you will enjoy the following compilations.

In 1967 trumpeter and arranger Syd Lawrence (1923-1998) founded the Syd Lawrence Orchestra. He had been playing in different dance bands and orchestras since the 40's. But now he could play the music he loved most, the music of the Big Band Era, especially Glenn Miller. He led the orchestra till his retirement in 1994. The orchestra still plays and tours now under the direction of Chris Dean.

Here we have a compilation Lp from 1982. Listen to the music we all now so well.

An era has ended.

Erich Kunzel, 74, Cincinnati’s music man for more than 44 years, has died.

He died Tuesday at about 10 a.m. in Bar Harbor, Maine, near his home on Swan’s Island, according to his personal manager Peter Throm. He had battled cancer since receiving a diagnosis in late April.

The Pops maestro is survived by his wife of 44 years, Brunhilde. The couple’s homes are in Newport, Ky.; Naples, Fla.; and Swan’s Island.

“Erich Kunzel built the Cincinnati Pops into one of the best known orchestras in the world and is not only beloved in Cincinnati, but around the globe,” said Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra president Trey Devey.

Orchestra members learned that Kunzel died in a special meeting that had been called at Music Hall at noon on Tuesday. The meeting’s original purpose was to announce Kunzel as the founder and conductor emeritus of the Cincinnati Pops. Earlier on Tuesday, the board of trustees established the Erich Kunzel Pops Legacy Fund to carry on Kunzel’s vision for the orchestra, Devey said.

“In speaking to Erich over the last couple of weeks, there are consistent themes. One was his passion and intensity and resolve for the pops to be as good as it can be. The other was his feeling for the people that he touched in this institution – for the board, the staff, the musicians, and for his audiences. That’s what he was thinking about.”

“He was a remarkable spirit and a tremendous musician,” said Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra music director Paavo Järvi. “His many years of music making with the Cincinnati Pops brought joy to literally millions, and I join with our community in Cincinnati as well as his fans around the world in mourning the loss of this great musical icon.”
