David axelrod "live" is the only actual time axelrod's original music has ever been recorded live. This cd and dvd features axelrod at his best. Taking a 26 piece orchestra, and running them thru some "serious" music! as andrew male sr. Editor for mojo magazine writes "it is a once in a lifetime event"! other magazines including vibe, urb, fader, xxl and "der spiegal" to name a few are in complete agreement. This "event" shows axelrod at his finest, conducting all his and fan favorite original compositions. Along with a "new" tune written for the concert (so low), two (2) "new" arrangements "paint it black" and "norwegian wood" and top this sold out concert with surprise guest soloist richard ashcroft (the verve) you are in for a hell of an experience. Axelrod who has been sampled by dr. Dre, lauren hill, eminem dj shadow to name a few, who recognize this musical genius's compositions. This dvd and cd continue to further this "rep". Axelrod a 6 time gold record producer, grammy winner, is currently working on arrangements for the band the heliocentrics. When not writing arrangements like "rabbit in your headlights", he is continuing to make his own great music. This dvd and cd won't disapoint. For the music fan who wants an experience!
