PANORAMA is (should be) CALYPSO PLAYED LIKE CALYPSO. And THIS PERFORMANCE does that (something I have been screaming for -- for decades). KENDALL WILLIAMS brings so much MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE to this arrangement -- he could compose a WHOLE NEW SONG just off some of his embellishments.
None of that trying to make CALYPSO sound like "WHITE MUSIC" (in a PANORAMA) GARBAGE.
CALYPSO MUSIC -- when presented right -- is a WORLD BEATER.
Right Andrew Sisters? Right Belafonte? Right Sonny Rollins? Right Andy Narell? Right OLA (X FACTOR)?
I cannot believe that dem NEW YORK ARRANGERS pass up dem TRINIDAD ARRANGERS and left them IN THE DUST!!! And I don't even like this song. Imagine if KENDALL WILLIAMS take a CALYPSO that I like and NICE IT UP like this. Ah sure to get ah HEART ATTACK and take meh LAST BREATH.
But WHAT A WAY TO GO!!!
