LIGHTHOUSE ~ SUNNY DAYS EDSEL 683 (Barcode: 740155168322) ~ CANADA ~ Brass Rock Recorded: 1972Released: 2000 This is the 8th album by the great Canadian Jazz-Rock band LighthouseFind albums by this artist, modeled (not surprisingly) after Blood, Sweat & TearsFind albums by this artist and ChicagoFind albums by this artist. In many respects the band was often as ambitious that its US counterparts and it featured bigger lineups and more varied instrumentation. The music and the performances are very strong and every Jazz-Rock fan will definitely enjoy this album immensely. Definitely worth investigating!
LIGHTHOUSE ~ THOUGHTS OF MOVIN` ON PROG TEMPLE 8050 (Barcode: 4753314805019) ~ CANADA ~ Brass Rock Recorded: 1971Released: 2016 This is the fifth album by Canadian Brass Rock group LighthouseFind albums by this artist, formed in 1968 by drummer / vocalist Skip ProkopFind albums by this artist. The group’s lineup included between thirteen and eleven members, with brass and rhythm sections and several members featured on vocals, performing quite elaborate vocal harmonies. The album presents ten original songs written by the band members.
Lighthouse had several gifted songwriters and their songs often charted on the Canadian charts. The songs have great melodies and the wonderful instrumental arrangements and brass riffs are a great reminder of times long gone.
The music is somewhat less Jazz oriented than that of other contemporary Brass Rock bands, like Blood, Sweat & TearsFind albums by this artist, ChicagoFind albums by this artist and others, but features the same characteristics and often offers more elaborate instrumentation and genuinely belongs to the Brass Rock idiom.
It’s good to see this finally available on CD. A must for Brass Rock fans of course.
