For some time, it has been apparent that there is an affinity between today’s “beat” music and the music of the Baroque. Note that the truly exciting recent developments in popular music coincided with a highly significant revival of interest in the Baroque style among serious music buffs. Musically, of course, there were similarities, too: the steady rhythmic patterns, the contrapuntal structure.
So it wasn’t too surprising when some of the successful “pop” groups began experimenting with elements of Baroque style and instrumentation, doing things like Baroque arrangements of popular songs or – in the case of The Left Banke – writing songs that combined a harpsichord and a string quartet with a steady beat and a haunting lyric.
The Left Banke are the imaginative New York quintet who utilized all these elements in their hit recording last year, “Walk Away Renee.” More recently, they’ve done it again with “Pretty Ballerina.”
Included in the Left Banke are Mike Brown, harpsichord and piano; Rick Brand, lead guitar; Tom Finn, electric bass; George Cameron, drums; and Steve Martin, vocalist.
They’ve put together a tasteful, original collection in this LP. In their effort to go for Baroque, they’ve succeeded in making many trips to the bank(e).
The one on the Left, that is.
