• Track Listing

This ahead-of-his-time producer, who helmed classics by everyone from Cannonball Adderley to Lou Rawls to the Electric Prunes, also recorded some wonderfully eccentric baroque-pop records of his own in the ’60s and ’70s (those were rediscovered and sampled by several hip-hop stars decades later). Axelrod’s first-ever UK orchestral performance also became his first live concert DVD, which comes here with a bonus audio CD—or, you can get the whole thing on vinyl LP. He leads the orchestra through imaginative new arrangements of Paint It Black; Norwegian Wood; Holy Thursday; The Edge; Holy Are You; Tensity; Urizen, and more!
