 | | Description: | Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog features brilliant new re-imaginings of the music of Louis Hardin, aka Moondog, the blind composer who lived on the streets of Manhattan and became known in the 1960s as "the Viking of Sixth Avenue" for his striking appearance. His beautiful and haunting music was an inspiration to Philip Glass and Steve Reich, who referred to him as "the godfather of minimalism." Conceived as a collaboration between the Brooklyn-based Ghost Train Orchestra and the legendary Kronos Quartet, the project quickly expanded to include numerous guest vocalists -including Marissa Nadler, Joan Wasser (aka Joan As Police Woman), Jarvis Cocker of Pulp fame, acclaimed singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, and vocalist Petra Haden, known for her striking a cappella works. Collectively it's a stunning and talented lineup, digging deep to revitalize Moondog's uplifting message for a new generationBooklet includes "In Conversation with Irwin Chusid, Brian Carpenter and David Harrington" and a short biography of Moondog by Robert Scotto."Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog" is a captivating CD that brings together the innovative talents of Ghost Train Orchestra and Kronos Quartet to reinterpret the works of legendary composer Moondog. This album offers a fresh perspective on Moondog's unique blend of jazz, classical, and minimalist influences, delivering both lush orchestrations and vibrant rhythms. Ghost Train Orchestra is renowned for their inventive arrangements bridging early jazz with modern sensibilities, while Kronos Quartet has achieved global acclaim for pushing the boundaries of string quartet repertoire across genres. Their combined artistry breathes new life into Moondog's compositions, making this release essential listening for fans of genre-defying music.
