Description

For those familiar with Kennedy's foray into the world of Hendrix, the Doors Concerto will come as hardly a surprise stopover on his artistic road. Some of the non-musical themes found in Hendrix are brought to light more in the Doors Concerto, most principally the folly of war. Coleman's arrangements of Morrison and The Doors' music seem to have had attracted extra musical attachments. Each piece carries a statement about various political themes from the last 60 years and brings together strands in keeping with the 1960s and 1970s openness to Eastern mysticism and the concept of peace in a Newmore… World Order. Whether one agrees or even cares about Coleman's views, the music itself is arranged on a grand scale similar to that of film music. Finding an appeal to the arrangements is sometimes difficult if you are familiar with The Doors' originals and/or Kennedy's master recordings from his previous life. However, for those who are not die-hard fans of Kennedy (who will doubtless love all of it) there are some tracks that might appeal--"Spanish Caravan" is particularly evocative. --Dominic Sewell
