Desperadoes Steel Orchestra - Vol.1 The Legacy Of Clive Bradley

A collection of 13 tracks by pan-music artists, the "Desperadoes Steel Orchestra", includes covers of such well-known artists as Barry White, Celine Dion and Andrew Lloyd Weber. This collection contains five Panorama Classics and eight popular melodies including Barry White's "Let the Music Play" as well as "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" and Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On". This CD is a tribute to Clive Bradley. Clive Bradley was an idiosyncratic, enigmatic, erratic but pragmatic musician and arranger who meandered mercurially through the corridors of life, leaving in his wake a contour not unlike that of the great Mississippi River. Bradley never played Pan, his instrument was the piano; yet he meticulously developed a synergistic relationship with the hypnotic, charismatic Desperadoes at the summit of Laventille that spawned a bitter-sweet saga spanning four decades. Together they earned acclaim and respect from the steelband fraternity of Trinidad & Tobago, the Diaspora and beyond, winning the coveted title of Panorama Champions on six ecstatic occasions. The Pacific Micronics High Definition Compatible Digital recording process HDCD was co-invented by well-known audio engineer Keith O. Johnson and computer software designer Michael Pflaumer. It utilizes a highly sophisticated encode/decode system that greatly reduces both additive and subtractive distortions, which are manifested during conventional digital recording and playback. This CD is compatible with all CD players.
