Charlie Balogh - Maestro!
September 2011 Review (Available from ORGANS.co.uk) Filed in: CD (Theatre Organ)
This is the first CD we have stocked from top American theatre organist Charlie Balogh, this was due to getting several requests from our customers at the same time as receiving an email from Mr. Balogh about his latest release. The said Mr. Balogh is one of the leading American theatre organists and was named 'Organist of the Year' by the American Theatre Organ Society back in 2000. He has performed on most theatre organs in the USA, Australia and here in the UK. READ THE FULL REVIEW...
Ronnie Ross - I Just Wanna Dance With You
September 2011 Review (Available from ORGANS.co.uk) Filed in: CD (Electronic)
This is Ronnie Ross's first CD since "An Evening With…" last year and only his second CD for Maestro Records. If you don't know anything about Ronnie (and I didn't), then it's well worth visiting his website as the opening page shows him in a very smart blue Tartan outfit with the header - "Ronnie Ross, Scottish Entertainer". It goes on to say that he recorded three LPs with his father Stuart in "The Stewart Ross Dance Band" in the late sixties and early seventies, so he's been in the music business for over forty years. He's also a black belt in Karate and the chief instructor of the Highland Karate Association, holding the rank of 6th Dan. Well, THAT'S not on the CD inlay. READ THE FULL REVIEW...
Ian Griffin and His World of Dreams
September 2011 Review (Available from ORGANS.co.uk) Filed in: CD (Electronic)
This new CD is from one of the favourites on the keyboard circuit and one-half of keyboard duo "KeyKlix", namely Ian Griffin. It's his first release since "Up On The Roof" in 2007 and, as with that release, he is playing the Ketron keyboards and Roland pedal-board setup that he uses on his concerts. The inlay states the CD contains a "selection of music made famous by many stars in show business" (although isn't that what all keyboard CDs are?). Having said that, there is a good selection of tunes with most you will know (although there are a couple that are new to me). READ THE FULL REVIEW...
