Eleanor Rigby/Soon Ah Will Be Done
Ardent Choir and Jazz Choir
1972
(1972)
Ive grown really fond of this record over the years. Absolutely beautiful renditions of popular songs done by the Arden High School Choir. It appears there were three more LPs after this one with Barbara Kreun as the choir director... and if they are half as good as this one, they are certainly worth exploring.
I could have aimed a dart at any track on this record to share, but picked two cuts that show the tone of what makes this record special. Lively, energetic cuts like their rendition of "Eleanor Rigby", and beautiful, tender solo harmonies like Bret Long's solo on "Soon Ah Will Be Done."
This was a blind buy from DJ Shadow's Annual Storage Sale a few years back, and one of my favorite finds from it.
