,: Songs You Like a Lot?, the third and final album in the Songs :,
: trilogy, differs from its predecessors in that these songs were :
:' chosen from a long slate of listener-nominated candidates. They ':
,: include the traditional ôDown By the River to Pray,ö Joni :,
: MitchellÆs ôBlue,ö the Bee GeesÆ ôHow Deep Is Your Love,ö James :
:' TaylorÆs ôFire and Rain,ö Peter GabrielÆs ôDonÆt Give Up,ö ':
,: Newley & BricusseÆs ôPure Imagination,ö the sole Hollenbeck :,
: original ôKindness,ö and finally a radical rhythmic :
:' deconstruction of the Beach BoysÆ ôGod Only Knowsö (renamed ':
,: ôKnows Only Godö). :,
: :
:' Hollenbeck reunites with longtime collaborators ?Kate McGarry? ':
,: and ?Theo Bleckmann?, whose sonorous, expressive voices breathe :,
: life into every arrangement. Pianist and organist ?Gary :
:' Versace?, like Bleckmann a mainstay of HollenbeckÆs Large ':
,: Ensemble and Refuge Trio, gets deep inside the harmonic :,
: structures, contemplative asides and unexpected twists that make :
:' up the set. Frankfurt Radio Big Band personnel come through ':
,: with radiant solos of their own, including tenor saxophonist :,
: Steffen Webber, clarinetist Oliver Leicht, trombonist Christian :
:' Jaksj÷, bassist Hans Glawischnig, guitarist Martin Scales and ':
,: more. :,
: :
:' ôThis project brought up questions I asked myself numerous ':
,: times,ö writes Hollenbeck in the liner notes. ôWhat is :,
: arranging? Why arrange? Why arrange popular songs? Is it still a :
:' æpopÆ song if it was not æpopularÆ?ö Hollenbeck also mentions ':
,: his desire to ôhighlight facets of these songs that were not :,
: obvious to the listener in the original, perhaps revealing :
:' hidden and exciting new layers. I sought to emphasize material ':
,: that is present in the original, but not featured or in the :,
: foreground. I also tried to rewind what I perceived may have :
:' been the original compositional process to then figure out what ':
,: I would do from that same point of departure.ö :,
: :
:' Hollenbeck will bring the same creativity, curiosity, ':
,: methodical process and raw inspiration to his undertakings with :,
: Flexatonic Arts, Inc., the latest bold new step in an already :
:' storied musical career. ':
