Bill Walker ? Impressions In Color LP Ultra Lounge Bergstrom Paper U 31561
Press Party - is Bill's musical impression of a hazily cloudy day. Miehle Verticle at 4000 impressions per hour.
Harpanova - which is a pressman's bossa nova, proved to be fraught with problems. At the very start, in recording the sound of the press, Bill Walker had to experiment with numerous recordings angels before he found the one that produced the precise rhythm he wanted. Then he wrote a piece so complex that the featured harpist, Eddie Druzinksi of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra practiced his part at home for two weeks with a tape recording of the rhythm section before he felt prepared to make this record. Miller 38 4-color at 4000 impressions per hour.
Opus in Offset - is built around the bass harmonica work of Johnny Thompson. It is an exercise in counterpoint in which two dissimilar melodies complement each other both rhythmically and harmonically. Harris LUB 25 x 38 at 5300 impressions per hour.
Color Me Waltz - is not just a waltz. It a jazz waltz which means that it swings. Miehle 38 2-color at 4500 impressions per hour
Printers Devil - is an example of the varied rhythmic possibles that can be heard in a press. This Heidelberg Letterpress produces a definite 3/4 rhythm but, if you listen closely, you also hear a 4/4 beat. The combination of four on three led Bill Walker to a lively samba with four drummers contributing exotic sounds from a Tahitian wood block, timbales, a jawbone and a snare drum. Over this, the string bass, bass harmonica and bass guitar combine on one melodic pattern while the brass section with clarinet lead follows another pattern. A third line is built by the regular guitar with the bass trombone lending added strengh to the whole mixture. Heidelberg Letterpress at 1800 impressions per hour.
The concept of this album made for the Bergstrom Papers company was to set the rhythms of the presses to music. Some of the efforts are amazing.
Really random lounge jazz worth having in ones collection.
