[net.music] Manneheim Steamroller

pjd (06/21/82)

Just recently I saw a new Manneheim Steamroller album at a
local record store entitled "Interludes" which I presume is a
collection of interlude pieces from their various albums.

This past winter, Manneheim Steamroller performed in concert
in Salt Lake City. Usually, they are just a studio ensemble.
Their performance consisted of live solos, etc. built upon
a studio tape with the solos, etc. left out of the mix.

The two most notable members of the group are composer Chris
Davis and keyboardist Jackson Berkey. Berkey taught a master
class at the music department and is truly an extraordinary
performer.

	Yes, "Interludes" is a collection of all the interlude pieces from
	the four Fresh Aire albums.  I believe there are 7 (maybe 8) inter-
	ludes in all.  Along with this, you get "Amber", off of Fresh Aire 4, 
	which is a really nice piece, and one other one (Morning off FA3?)
	wich I can't remember.  

	It's a digital recording, but I'm afraid I don't know how it sounds,
	as I have only seen it in the record stores (I just bout FA4, it'll
	take another paycheck to get the next $20!).
