Pro Organo announces new releases.
Gracious Groove: The Organ Music of Dick Hyman features Benjamin Saunders, organist and director of music for the Diocese of Leeds, playing the Norman and Beard organ, recently renovated by Klais, of Leeds Cathedral. Jazz pianist and composer Dick Hyman’s compositions have overtones of the cool jazz of the 1960s and 1970s; they have been heard on broadcast media, Broadway, and in cinema, including in Woody Allen’s films. Tracks from CDs are available for MP3 download purchase.
Bravo Grande features David Heller, who showcases the Kegg Opus 35 organ at Texas A&M International University in Laredo, Texas. Dominant Accord features Susan De Kam, who plays the Kegg Opus 43 organ at Zion Lutheran Church in Wausau, Wisconsin. Both titles combine standard literature with rarely heard gems. The compact disc versions of these titles are available, while supplies last, for $14.98 each.
