Search - Camille :: The Big Parade

More and more indie artists are producing wonderful albums. This is yet another example of how much talent is available to America and the world. Camille Harrison must have spent many hours selecting the musicians and song material for her album. She recruited an all-star group of musicians who really support the songs in excellent fashion. For example, Camille's original title cut, "The Big Parade" features a strong thythm section to give solid foundation to trumpeter Jim Williamson's neat horn charts. She then goes straight to Monk's "Round Midnight," where she opened the tune with a voice/bass first chorus. Bassist Jim Ferguson does an excellent job with Camille's vocals followed by tasty piano work of Bob Patin. (She also has Same Levine, sax/flute, John Knowles, guitar, Chris Brown & Jim White, drums.) "Twisted" is also a favorite. There are many standards on Camille's album. Her co-written (with the late Chet Atkins) song, "Why Should I Love You" shows the tender pop style of Camille.
