Artist Biography
Available in:
Hey, easy listening percussion fans have I got some thrills for you! Do you remember Dick Schory's New Percussion Ensemble's Music for Bang, Baaroom, And Harp on RCA Living Stereo? Well, here are some more percussion plus orchestra recordings that are just as beautiful and thrilling from Dick Schory's and David Carroll's ensembles. They are from four prerecorded reel to reel tapes reissued as two albums by High Definition Tape Transfers (HDTT) called Percussion in Hi-Fi Volumes I and II.
Dick Schory's New Percussion Ensemble from Percussion From Melody to Madness
"Caravan, Speak Low, South Rampart Street Parade, Walkin' My Baby Back Home, Fascinating Rhythm, Safari Anyone?, Autumn in New York, Fly Now, Pay Later, I'll Remember April, Tortilla, Stranger in Paradise, A Foggy Day"
Lew Layton (Recording Engineer) Bob Bollard (Producer) Arranged and conducted by Dick Schory. Recorded in 1960 at Orchestra Hall, Chicago, sourced from an RCA 4-track tape. David Carroll and His Orchestra from Percussion in Hi-Fi
"Hell's Bells, Bali Ha'i, The Chimes Of Swing, Malaguena, Discussion In Percussion, Quiet Talk, Chatter, Controversy, Jungle Drums, The Cricket, Spanish Symphonique". Bill Putnam (Recording Engineer) David Carroll (Musical Director). Recorded in 1956 at Universal Recording Corporation, sourced from a Mercury 2-track tape. In the early days of Stereo record companies were always looking for ways to show off the capabilities of two channel stereo over single channel mono. One musical genre that met with great success was instrumental pop, and especially percussive releases. Dick Schory was perhaps the greatest star of the many artists working in the percussive pop field that was so popular in the late 1950s. After getting his recording start on the Bel Canto label, he soon after signed with RCA.
Dick Schory's album, Music for Bang, Baa-room and Harp is an audiophile staple, considered by many to be one of the greatest recordings of all time. This first volume begins with Dick Schory's second RCA release Percussion From Melody to Madness which was also recorded in Chicago's wonderful sounding Orchestra Hall prior to renovation by famed RCA engineer Lewis Layton. This was never released on CD, the original vinyl and even rarer reel to reel are still much sought after by audiophiles.
Percussion From Melody to Madness starts off with a spectacular rendition of the famous jazz standard "Caravan", followed by "Speak Low" which is exotic and enchanting. The Dixieland favorite "South Rampart Street Parade" really shows off the percussion section and a really lovely 50's sounding electric guitar. "Walkin' My Baby Back Home" is just flat-out beautiful, as are all the other selections.
The second half of Volume One features David Carroll with the recording this series was named after Percussion in Hi-Fi. David Carroll was a famous bandleader in the 1950's and 1960's who also joined the percussive pop bandwagon, and released several titles including his most famous: Percussion in Hi-Fi which was recorded on June 4, 1956, and released by Mercury a few years later. It was engineered by Bill Putnam and I feel it is the best sounding of these four classic percussion recordings.
