Tags: Bill Brufordread More & Comment VA – Heroes And Villains: The Sound of Los Angeles

After The Beatles captivated a generation with their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the Los Angeles music scene moved beyond the previously-dominant surf, hot-rod and girl group discs to fashion a spirited response to the British Invasion.

Richard Geere & The City of Los Angeles All Stars are dedicated to preserving the popular music of the 1920s, 30s & 40s. So authentic is their work, it is much in demand throughout the TV/Film industry. Credits include: The Twilight Zone, CSI: New York, Boston Med, Boston Fire, Pretty Little Liars, Blue Bloods, Bones, Lethal Weapon, The Flash, One Mississippi, 22 Jump St. and many more. Retro jazz styles performed with care, passion and chops!

Leo Blokhuis is an award winning author and music journalist familiar to Dutch TV audiences as host of a prime time music show ‘Top 2000 a Gogo’. In his latest ‘sound book’ he writes of the period in the 60s and 70s when soul and country music traditions married together to create country soul and vice versa. The book part is 176 pages of Dutch text and since my near neighbours language is not one of the main languages that I can read I am unable to comment on Blokhuis’ writing skills. What I can say is that the text is interspersed with photographs of significant artists, record labels and a page on each featured song that lists studio details and participating musicians. Clearly a labour of love the book looks great and feels substantial.

Imagine you are listening to the radio and the station of your choice only plays your favorite music. The boy band from the teenage years, the song on the first car ride, the unforgettable holiday song a few years ago, the festival summer hit, the song for the evening fireplace. This is exactly what creates 100 Radio Hits. Great music that evokes a lot of beautiful memories, songs that - once heard again - immediately become catchy again.
