Musical Taste - The Sugar Cane - David McCallum

Track Details

The Sugar Cane performed by David McCallum (1966)
Composed by David Axelrod
Arranged by H.B. Barnum
From: USA
Recommended by tinks [profile] on Saturday 5th May 2001

Interesting early composition/production work from Axelrod. Vaguely calypso-inspired orchestral pop with a very prominent piccolo and what sounds like a French horn solo...I think that I hear a glockenspiel in there, as well. All layered over trademark Axelrod drums and a cool walking bassline.

18 May 02 ·Sem Sinatra: I'd be interested to know exactly what David McCallum did on this track ... maybe the glockenspiel

24 May 02 ·tinks: well, according to the liner notes, he supposedly is the conductor of the thing. i've seen his conducting in action in the film "the big tnt show" and all that i can say is that it looks sorta dubious.
