Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wendesday with Harp And Soul by David Snell released on Columbia in 1966. David Snell - Harp And Soul Review David Snell's Harp And Soul-yeah, that 1966 LP-is one of those records you stumble on while digging through crates, half expecting to hate it, then end up playing it three times in a row. It's not flashy. Doesn't scream for attention. But damn if it doesn't settle into your bones after a while. Snell, mostly known as a session harpist and later a film score conductor, steps out here as both player and co-conductor (alongside Johnny Scott, who also handles flute and orchestra duties). And honestly? He holds his own. First off, the harp. You'd think it'd be twee. Or worse-background noise for a department store in 1972. But Snell doesn't let it get syrupy. He's got this dry, almost percussive touch... https://david-snellhr.bandcamp.com/album/harp-and-soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfbPffD1_dY&list=RDCfbPffD1_dY&start_radio=1 #DavidSnell #Jazz #Harp #JohnnyScott #BritJazz #LibraryMusic #Music #SpaceAgePop

Open Air Parade by Alessandro Alessandroni, released on SR Records in 1972. This holy grail was originally released in 1972 on the legendary Sermi Records label (often referred to as SR Records). It features ten tracks composed by Ennio Morricone’s whistler, Alessandro Alessandroni revealing his great talent and unrivaled sense of melody, and two by the brilliant Italian jazz bassist Giovanni Tommaso, also founder and member of the legendary prog-jazz-rock ensemble Perigeo. Open Air Parade is a masterpiece and rightfully sits among the top five in its genre. It has a beautiful cohesiveness throughout and can only be described as sincere. The music ranges from superb psychedelic lounge funk, compelling groovy jazz beat tunes, and far-ranging mood music with lush arrangements. https://sonormusiceditions.bandcamp.com/album/open-air-parade-2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T135bjQpnM&list=PL6_zxo8TJiM4SK8ELGrsMvej1DOGdgbI4&index=1 #AlessandroAlessandroni #Perigeo #LibraryMusic #ItalianLibraryMusic #Music #EnnioMorricone
