What songs sound the best when adapted for Strings?
Any song with a nice sung melody works best. Classic rock, electronic pop, jazz and anything in between is great for strings. The only genres that are difficult or impossible to pull off with just stringed instruments is hip hop and rap, as those are spoken word, hence no melody that the instruments can play. If you find stringed instruments playing hip hop, they are playing along with the words using backing tracks.
Fresh from Boston Ma., Northstar brings their organic acoustic intensity to the beautiful Florida West coast. John & Liz bring a blend of high energy along with head turning melody and range that is sure to capture attention and get the pahty stahted!
He seems to favor old, rarely played tunes that have fallen into disuse.Rocking Chair, That Old Feeling, and I Want to Be Happy are typical examples.But they surely do not re-emerge in Evans' work in old-style treatments. Rocking Chair is on "Grown Folk Bizness" as a dazzling solo performancein which Evans never, strays far from the melody, or at least very closevariations on it. At times, the tune becomes a duet between his two hands;it is spectacularly understated, and very effective. Another example, IWant to Be Happy, has appeared in a number of versions, first (?) on CDin 1999 on "Listen To The Band" and then again on "Deja Vu,"in 2002. I also heard it live at the Deer Head Inn in January of 2002. Ithas become a strikingly abstract tune in which Mr. Evans and his cohortsdeconstruct the melody, taking the song apart, leaving only its bones visible.Hard edge and highly abstract sections alternate with lyrical passages,and there is a marvelous interlude on the "Deja Vu" version inwhich Mr. Evans and drummer Byron Landham switch roles, with the piano keepingtime with a repeated phrase as Landham improvises. The duet resolves intoa quiet, ethereal vision of the melody, stated almost straight at first,but with each phrase ending in a right-hand riff that is developed by itself,finally fading to silence. I recall the 2002 live version as even more "modern"- "a weird incarnation" I wrote at the time, "with touchesof Tristano (?) resolving to lyric OE, single notes, and out." Tristano?I can't detect much of Lennie now - I wish I could re-hear that Deer Headversion!
