Album Description

Japanese-only reissue of this 1956 album by one of the greatest Bebop drummers of all time. Recorded during his five year stint as a member of Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars, Levey is joined on these recordings by then-unknown pianist Sonny Clark, trumpeter Conte Condoli, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and tenorist Richie Kamuca, Although his name is on the cover of the album, Levey is very seldom the center of attention. He drives each song with uncommon grace, yet allows the other players to step into the spotlight with a series of remarkable solos. Features tracks like 'Hit That Thing', 'Blues At Sunrise' and 'Angel Cake'. Toshiba.

Album Description

Well known for its imaginative programming, Vancouver based Chor Leoni Men's Choir has done it again with a new recording entitled Canadian Safari. Director Diane Loomer leads her “choir of lions” on a musical ride across the Canadian landscape in these innovative arrangements of some of Canada's best loved folk music. Virtually every style of traditional music is represented here: Stan Rogers' Fogarty's Cove, Barrett's Privateers, Northwest Passage and Make and Break Harbour ; Dondaine la Ridaine from Quebec; Connie Kaldor's Wood River and selections of the best mariner's songs from both coasts.

Chor Leoni's entertaining delivery and adventurous approach to choral music has made it one of Canada's most recognized vocal ensembles. The choir has commissioned, performed and recorded numerous works by Canadian composers and consistently won prizes in the CBC national choral competitions. It has performed with the CBC Vancouver Orchestra, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Vancouver New Music Society, and its Remembrance Day and Summer Solstice concerts are highlights of the Vancouver choral calendar.

Great recording of great performances of great arrangements.......2004-10-31

The Chor (Greek for Choir) Leoni (Italian for Lion) have voices and arrangements that are not superficial. While the soloists are not Pavarotti, they are also not Michael Bolton or Justin Timberlake, and when the entire chorus comes in with harmonies as hearty and robust as prime rib, yet as feathery fine as angels wings well.... the effect is musical magic.

I'm interested in all types of music, but there's a special place in my heart for talented musicians who commit themselves to mastery of musical artforms that they KNOW are not going to get them a triple-platinum CD. A capella men's chorus's are a special breed - dating back before sea chanty's all the way to Gregorian chants.

The music here is as varied as music sung by about 25 men without instrumental accompaniment could be. Sometimes it soars. Sometimes it is robust and up-tempo. The old ballads "The Water is Wide" and "Red River Valley" sound like a heavenly host. Robert Shaw's arrangement of "Vive L'Amour" sounds like the musical equivalent of Shakespeare's St. Crispin's Day speech from "Henvy V": full of life and shared accomplishment.

While I don't expect to see Chor Leoni on "The Tonight Show", the listening pleasure I get from this CD tops that of any 10 "Special Musical Guests" on "Tonight" or "Saturday Night Live".

Admittedly, this is music for those with a taste for it - but I get the same kind of thrill hearing a great Mariachi band, or Ray Charles or a great Bluegrass Band like Alison Krauss and Union Station. This is music that is as far removed from the lip-synced techno-pop of today as it can be.

Enjoy.

Canadian Safari.......2002-02-24

Beautiful choral arrangements of songs displaying the rich cultural diversity of music from across Canada. A must for all lovers of choral music. TWO THUMBS UP.

Stan Levey - Grand Stan.......2006-03-24

As a dedicated fan of Sonny Clark on piano, this is a beautiful recording to find. Young Sonny plays harder and faster on these songs and Stan gives him alot of room (they also play two of Sonny's compositions). The rest of the band plays great, especially Frank Rosolino, wonderful on trombone. Stan is a fine drummer and the ideal leader for this gem from the so-called cool sound.
