Let's call a spade a spade. Orion is an Elvis impersonator. No more, no less. That he's a good Elvis impersonator is important, since if he wasn't, Sun probably wouldn't have tried to promote his recordings as if they were genuine Elvis material, even going to the extremes of overdubbing Orion's voices on recordings by such Sun stalwarts as Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.

Intense heavy emotional stratocaster self expression, with bluesy voice. Forever may you scream. Recommended if you like Jimi Hendrix & Steely Dan. As an artist it is essential to remember that the most important thing we have is "our voice", or style as they say. Each day our "voices" search for sources of inspiration to help us discover our own identity and creatively translate that identity into the sound of music. With that said, I hope you will be able to find a source of inspiration here…
This is my second release the follow up to my 1st album Pain. It is a concept record like Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall but in more of a Blues style with many other styles in addition to that. This is the reason for the title "Musical Diary of the Hopeless Romantic" you can call it Musical Diary or The Diary for short. It seems to grow and attach to listeners the more they listen. I believe the lyric and emotion in addition to not knowing what will come next is the reason for this. This album is best listened to as a whole piece with multiple movements…

This is our all-time best seller. Selected ‘Jazz Album of the Week’ in the New York Times and on numerous ‘Best Recordings of the Year’ lists upon its original release, these live recordings from Carnegie Hall and Syracuse, New York, are now remastered and repackaged and include additional, previously unreleased Dolphy performances of Gunther Schuller’s Third Stream masterpiece Variants on a Theme by Monk. An incredible sampling of Dolphy’s artistry from ’62 to ’63, in action with his own quartet, in contemporary chamber music settings created for him by Schuller and in the heat of an all-star jam session on “Donna Lee”… Dolphy was never more brilliant.
