Although I listen to music for hours every day I'm embarrassingly devoid of knowledge when it comes to how it is made, time signatures, keys etc. And this. What are the implications of doing this? #harp

Insight is an album by saxophonist/flautist Prince Lasha that was recorded in England in 1966 and originally released on the CBS label. Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, with its review by Thom Jurek stating: "this is not an exploratory outside date, but a straight-ahead session of originals and standards, divided between uptempo numbers and ballads. ...For all its traditionalism, this is indeed a major date for Lasha and reveals how deeply ensconced he was in the bop and swing lineages." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAGF6Cxnhjw&list=RDPAGF6Cxnhjw&start_radio=1 #PrinceLasha #DavidSnell #Harp #Jazz #Music #StanTracey

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
