Ghost Train Orchestra Performance Review
On Saturday, April 12, 2014, I
observed a wonderful sight! The Ghost Train Orchestra performed at The
Annenberg Center’s Harold Prince Theatre on 3680 Walnut Street , Philadelphia ,
PA.
Ghost Train Orchestra was a
powerful and sensational performance. The Conductor, Brian Carpenter, moves ten
years ahead from their first album (Hothouse Stomp) to perform his modernistic
reimagined arrangements of four unusual ensembles from the late 1930’s.
This amazing orchestra
featured a roster of talent: alto saxophonist Andy Laster, clarinetist Dennis
Lichtman, tenor saxophonist Petr Cancura, trombonist Curtis Hasselbring, tubist
Ron Caswell, violinist Mazz Swift, guitarist Avi Bortnick, bassist Mchael Bates
and drummer Rob Garcia.
My favorite musician was Mazz
Swift; because of her wonderful singing voice and amazing talent as a
violinist. The Ghost Train Orchestra is funky, abstract and experimental and makes
it seem very easy. Their music is a superbly robust piece of art that all ages
would enjoy.
