During the early '90s, Phish emerged as heirs to the Grateful Dead's throne. Although their music was somewhat similar to the Dead's sound – an eclectic, free-form rock & roll encompassing elements of folk, jazz, country, bluegrass, and pop – the group adhered more to jazz-derived improvisation than folk tradition.
Petrassi’s talents showed themselves early. In 1913, aged nine, he became a chorister in the capital, where his encounter with Renaissance and baroque art and music left a lasting impression, one reflected later in several fine, large-scale choral works in which Petrassi combines polyphony with modern harmonies. Here we have two such choral pieces: Psalm IX, in two parts, for chorus, string orchestra, brass, percussion, and two pianos, and the premiere recording of a Magnificat for soprano, chorus, and orchestra.
...Domeniconi (b. 1947) breaks away from the overly-Spanish idioms which have recently dominated this genre, creating a unique soundscape amalgamated from Anatolian influences. The result is a distinct and innovative style, taking almost any physical form one might expect. ... Harald Genzmer’s (1909 - 2007) Concerto in G for two guitars, wind quintet and strings also inhabits a tonal world of his own. ...Genzmer’s universe is based on a moderate modern major-minor tonality of his own creation. The considerably sparse instrumentation imparts a chamber-like quality to the music, finding rich melismata in an articulate dialogue between the guitarists and their accompanists.
If truth be told, the Allman Brothers Band have always been the quintessential American rock band, shaping a rootsy mix of blues, jazz, country, and rock into an elegant, nuanced sound that single-handedly created what became known as Southern rock. Full of beautiful dual guitar leads and driven by double drummers, and possessing a lead singer who, when he was on his game, had as much soul as anyone around, the Allman Brothers Band were also an improvisational band who found all kinds of new corners in their classic catalog when they played live, no matter what the configuration of the band was at the time.
