well, in reading this again i would say i this above segment hits home most...and I also learned what a facebook status is! eg) dear friends, I have just listened to 7 island suite and am feeling optimistic
nice find, char...i didn't realize there were blogs of this nature out there...i'll have to explore that link sometime
earlier i was way off mark in my Sundown solo reply as I now realize his entire post is about CH, as is clearly stated in the subject, lol
as far as solo improv goes, i think of GL's fairly rare solos as 'scored' and not something that is spontaneously arrived at in studio sessions...as i've said before, i'd love a VH1 Classic Albums episode on Sundown or any or all
of his albums...the Harmony album itself would make for an interesting doc, imo
it would be wonderful to read Richard Harrison insights into the process that unfolded
if this guy is implying that GL is first and foremost a composer then I agree although even if he had never created a single melody, his poetry alone would be quite top notch...I wonder if A Sculptor Passing Through would have worked...maybe that's what Gino's bio will be called, lol
joveski, yeah always really liked that quote...I was joking around a bit about the solos, I don't think 'orchestras' take solos...in general I admire the band as a whole for what they don't play...I suppose i think of Barry's signature moments being the lovely work he does in Restless and perhaps his jingle bells work in SFAWN
didnt mean to try take this off topic with the instr solo work list request...again, i find there are unusually few...GL's albums are about the songs and the cast supporting the recordings typically have the 'play for the song' approach, refreshing
