Post by: Mark A. Moore on May 01, 2007, 12:44:30 AM
Holy Harpsichord, Batman . . .

We've posted a new promotional video for our Jan Berry / Jan & Dean Tribute Album . . .

For this installment of the video series, the song is "Bat No. 1" (Berry-Tipton) . . . originally from the album "Jan & Dean Meet Batman" (1966). Featuring David Marks (original member of the Beach Boys) on guitars . . . Cameron Michael Parkes on harpsichord & bass . . . and Mark A. Moore on percussion.

Produced by Cameron Michael Parkes and Mark A. Moore (2007). The tribute album also features seven tracks from 1968's "Carnival of Sound" LP (Warner Bros.), plus about 14 more songs highlighting Jan Berry's career as a writer, arranger, and producer.

This is a rough cut preview version only . . . not our final production.

Here's the link:

Enjoy,

This is such a unique work from Jan. At first it seems to be going in no real direction, just a lot of odd chord changes. Then you realize that it fits the Batman theme and visuals perfectly. Very cool.

It's very Bach.

Definitely, and it takes quite a mind to link Batman and Bach.
