Nelson Riddle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The album showcases expanded orchestral adaptations of the original arrangements provided by the Nelson Riddle Archives, and is presented in a state-of-the-art digital recording that was among the first titles to be released on multi-channel SACD. Following Nelson Riddle's death, his last three arrangements for Linda Ronstadt's For Sentimental Reasons album were conducted by Terry Woodson; the album was released in 1986. Riddle was born in Oradell, New Jersey, the only child of Marie Albertine Riddle and Nelson Smock Riddle, Sr. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nelson_Riddle   (1356 words)

Nelson Riddle Riddle was known as one of the best arranger for singers, and backed many of Capitol's vocalists, including Margaret Whiting, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, and Frank Sinatra on his swinging albums ("Songs for Swingin' Lovers," "A Swingin' Affair," "Sinatra's Swing' Session") and others. Riddle commented that he didn't do songs, he did albums, and Ronstadt's producer hired him for the whole album. Riddle also wrote for a number of television shows, including "The Untouchables," and his theme for the series, "Route 66," was released as a single and made it into the Top 40 in 1962. www.spaceagepop.com /riddle.htm   (706 words)

The Zen Interpretation of Brian Wilson & Van Dyke Parks' SMiLE And the idea of a record album embedded with some kind of unknown mystical power, and the potential of such power, would tend to scare some people (and maybe even the album's creator as well). In Brian's bio he described his best acid trip as "...the ultimate in LSD joyrides...four hours of enlightenment and spirituality" and it seems to me that SMiLE is this trip (the ultimate joyride) presented as a riddle (similar to the way Brian presented his bookstore hallucination experience as a riddle to Genevelyn for LP inspiration). On a pop music album this would translate into the appearance of a few songs by other artists. pages.cthome.net /tobelman   (2511 words)

In The Wee Small Hours The frail and somewhat thin, boyish sound that characterized Sinatra's recordings in the forties had evolved into a coarser tone Riddle likened to the woody timbre of the viola (the result of a vocal chord hemorrhage) and one that was perfectly suited to convey a knowing, world-weary understanding of the treacheries of adult love. This set of recordings began the pattern of alternating between swinging, jazz-influenced albums and albums of brooding introspection. Sinatra is often depicted as the avatar of the swinging 1950s adult lifestyle, but friends and relatives have described both Sinatra and Riddle as two of the loneliest men they have ever known. www.avalon.net /~bstuder/weesmall.htm   (493 words)

Joins UA groups for Nelson Riddle tribute Riddle, who died in 1985, was one of the great composers and arrangers of popular songs. The song "You're No Good," on the 1974 album "Heart Like a Wheel" went No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts, while her version of Hank Williams' "I Can't Help It," on the same album, won her a Grammy for best female country vocal. Nat King Cole's hits "Unforgettable" and "Mona Lisa" were Riddle's work; such legends as Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee also frequently came knocking at his door. www.ronstadt-linda.com /az020101.htm   (1557 words)

Perpetuum mobile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In some cases the repeats of a "perpetuum mobile" piece are at a different pitch (while a modulation or a chord progression occurs during the repeatable part): some of the riddle canons of Bach's Das Musikalische Opfer are examples of this particular kind of Perpetuum Mobile/Canon Perpetuus. As a separate piece, a "Perpetuum Mobile" can be defined as a composition where (a large part of) the piece is intended to be repeated an (often not specified) number of times, without the "motion" of the melody being halted when a repeat begins. Such pieces would often be performed as virtuoso encores, in some cases increasing the tempo along the repeats. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Perpetuum_mobile   (96 words)

Nelson Riddle's son brings dad's sound to life in salute to Sinatra Nelson Riddle's final project was the "Blue Skies'' album with opera soprano Kiri Te Kanawa, whom he coached in the subtleties of singing Kern and Berlin. Christopher Riddle recalled Ronstadt walking to the stage at a Beverly Hills fundraiser in '84 and as she passed Sinatra's ringside table playfully saying, "I hear you've been singing some of my songs.'' Somebody in the band said, "I hope he's not armed tonight,'' Riddle recalled. Riddle, who scored a bunch of movies and TV shows -- "Pal Joey,'' "Route 66,'' "The Great Gatsby'' -- was heartbroken when Sinatra failed to show up to emcee a tribute to him in '78, sending lawyer Mickey Rudin in his stead. sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/09/05/DDG80EH3O91.DTL&...   (1401 words)

Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/Nelson Riddle biographer Peter Levinson interview I am hoping to be doing an album for Capitol of Nelson Riddle music from all his various labels, to be released at the same time as the paperback version of my book. Riddle said it was a tune that Jay Livingston and his partner wrote and it is in a movie of Alan Ladd's called O.S.S. Riddle began to play it on the piano, and Bain pulled out his guitar and played three or four chords. Nelson Riddle will forever be linked with the music and recordings of such unforgettable vocalists as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Rosemary Clooney, Linda Ronstadt, and dozens of others. www.jerryjazzmusician.com /mainHTML.cfm?page=levinson.html   (3464 words)

Amazon.co.uk: To Be Frank: Music With that album, the former 1980s icon, known as much for his ludicrous gelled-up mullet as hits "Wouldn't It Be Good" and "The Riddle", remodelled himself in the classic singer-songwriter mould and consigned his former self to the past. This album really has nothing to do with his 80's music except, perhaps, the quality, and the breadth of styles means there's something for most people on it. Amid the sea of manufactured pop acts and cliched rock groups, this album's genuine originality is a breath of fresh air. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000056X5D   (877 words)

Percy Faith Pages These are two classic Riddle albums where he breaks free from the brass and walking bass swinging sound - and brings us two albums consisting only of strings and well-mannered quiet percussion - and please don't pass up the opportunity to hear them, they are classic, richly arranged, mood albums. Arguably, they are an important part of Faith's 50's career with Columbia and Mitch; his contract was to do 3 or 4 albums a year with whatever size orchestra he needed - but - big but - he had to "work with the youngsters" - the new vocal talents at Columbia and get them started. It would seem the teletype citation of Faith having recorded only 45 albums originated at some point that seems to have carried on since 1976, however, Faith recorded closer to 90 albums, and that does not include the many "random track collection" albums that could no doubt double that number worldwide. www.percyfaithpages.org   (4670 words)

Brazil by Rosemary Clooney: Album Reviews The songs included on Brazil display the musical integrity, wisdom, and depth of Rosemary Clooney on songs that have withstood the test of popular culture and time. As one of the most loved jazz vocalists, modern jazz heroines, and prolific vocalists, Rosemary Clooney gives a very beautiful and feminine side to Brazilian jazz on Brazil, a sensitive musical feeling of 16 ripe standards. This wonderful collection is dedicated to Antonio Carlos Jobim, Frank Sinatra, and Nelson Riddle through her amazing ambience of sensitive phrasing, lovely nuance, and splendid rhythmic shadings. www.mp3.com /albums/426633/reviews.html   (4670 words)

SoundtrackNet : Batman While I'm sure the best sources that were available were used for this album, the mono sound varies from reasonable to slightly muddled. Of course, integrating Neal Hefti's classic "Batman" theme was necessary - but it was Riddle who added the punching brass hits which we all know accompanied the "Bam!" and "Thwap!" action title cards. Additionally, the score tends to get a bit monotonous after a while - while it's nice to have over an hour of music, I think this would have made a more enjoyable 30-minute album. www.soundtrack.net /soundtracks/database?id=2701   (383 words)

Joe Goldmark Reviews He returned to the studio to cut one of his most brilliant solo albums, the ambitious and aptly titled All Over the Road, a collection of covers of songs by Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Nelson Riddle, and several obscure R&B artists from the early '60s. Heartened by the response to the record, Goldmark reissued material from his older albums and renewed his determination to expand the stylistic horizons of his favorite musical instrument. An all-instrumental album, it showcases his unique pedal steel guitar interpretations of songs ranging far beyond the instrument's ordinary twangy country territory. www.joegoldmark.com /reviews.html   (4355 words)

MusShell / Audio Shells / Album MusShell / Audio Shells / Album list / T / The Riddle Box Insane Clown Posse's first national release, Riddle Box, failed to expand the Detroit shock rock/rap duo's audience, which probably came as no surprise to anyone, especially ICP. Perhaps ICP's more dynamic delivery and second-rate Cypress Hill aesthetic elevates Riddle Box just above its predecessors, but all of the group's musical work is so far below any reasonable rap/rock standard that it hardly matters. www.musshell.com /search/album.php?uid=116325   (258 words)
