A Grammy award-winning producer for Capitol Records who helmed dozens of great jazz, funk, and soul records during the 1960s and 70s (David, McCallum, Lou Rawls, Stan Kenton, the Electric Prunes, Cannonball Adderley
), David Axelrod also forged a distinctive musical style while recording several of the most eccentric albums of the 70s.
His music was rediscovered in the 90s, and has been sampled by key hip-hop artists such as Dr. Dre, DJ Shadow, or Lauryn Hill.
This Vampisoul release offers you his very first UK orchestral performance, live at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Axelrod's refined direction and eccentric genius shines through with this performance. The audio CD comes with a DVD of the show itself! A stupendous package which will delight any fan of old-school funk/soul and music eccentricities of yesteryear.
