Title: Apollo
Artist: Langestraat, Ronald
Label: South of North
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 826853003995
Genre: Jazz
Apollo' is a compilation of an Apollo Hotel CD box, that Ronald made himself, for family and friends. From 1986 until 1992, Ronald had a residency in the lounge of Amsterdam's Apollo Hotel. He would play there 5 days a week, for 5 hours a day. In 1991, throughout several sessions, he recorded himself on a cassette recorder. The recordings were ranging from re-interpreted cover versions to multiple own compositions. The Apollo was particularly known for it's sophisticated and elegant crowd. Guests would come to meet in the lounge to talk business, or end the day with a drink at the bar - dancing was never an option. Listening to the album, one must wonder how some of this music would go hand in hand with a place like that. It seems Ronald gets lost in music and returns in unequally balanced patterns. Lounge sounds meet drum computer rhythms, punchy basslines, distorted space noises, reoccurring clarinet interludes and improvised piano solos. Back then, just as now, Ronald never liked to be the center of attention. He simply tried to interact with the surrounding as a provider of the mood - as he explains himself.
Tracks:
1.1 Yearning To This Music
1.2 Space Train , Music From Outer Space
1.3 Lowdown , Give And Take
1.4 A Fast Drive Through The Universe
1.5 Worldwide Clarinet
1.6 Orpheus
