From the back cover: Sir Julian has been a power on the organ scene for some time. At the age of fifteen he was the instrumental mainstay of a group known as The Swingsters which featured one Frank Sinatra. This was in 1935. A year later, Sir Julian was ensconced as master of the mighty Wurlitzer at the Orpheum in Los Angeles. Despite his early start, his training included instruction under such outstanding organists as Lausenberg and Wischner; he earned his master's degree in music from U.C.L.A.
Next time you're in Miami, drop into the Playboy Club there. The light-fingered gent at the keyboard is none other than Sir Julian. He's director of music for the fabulous funhouse. Or if you can't make it to Miami, put this disc on your turntable and discover on of the reasons why the organ is so much in demand on records these days.

ReplyDeleteAh, yes! That is the other recommended Julian album to look for!
ReplyDeleteI bought this album recently at a used book/record store here in Atlanta. Gould's work was oddly hypnotic, like that of Walter Wanderly, yet I can't take much of it at one time, similar to a rich cheese plate.
