George Wright: Legend of the Theatre Organ
Product Description
The legendary George Wright now has a total of more than two dozen CDs available as recorded on great Wurlitzer pipe organs, and they all are available here. The latest title is at the top of this great selection!
Using digital tape recordings from George Wright’s own “Hollywood Philharmonic” organ player system and transferring the data into a system compatible with the playback system of the Plummer Auditorium organ in Fullerton, California’s High School, George Wright’s playing of this program is enabled, even though he never actually played the Plummer Wurlitzer. The interesting notes in the CD booklet describe Wright’s innovation in the use of player mechanisms and a number of devices incorporated into the Hollywood Philharmonic organ relay and playback system when it was built by Bob Trousdale, who is the Producer and Director for this CD. Bluebird of Happiness, Pistol Packin’ Mama, Blue Moon, Mikado Medley, In a Monastery Garden, Holiday for Strings, Farewell Blues, Satin Doll, She’s Funny That Way, Nola, Smoke gets in Your Eyes, Barrel House Bessie, Moonlight on the River, Tico Tico, One Morning in May, Egyptian Ella, Laura $17.98 | When the organ in George Wright’s Pasadena studio burned
with the building in 1970, all of the tapes Wright had recorded there were presumed lost. But, in
1998 a group of the tapes were found in his residence. So, those recordings have never been
released, and are heard here for the first time.
