Echoes of the Minnesota
One of the giants in the pantheon of theatre organ performers, Tom Hazleton, holds a special appeal for his beguiling arrangements that could segue from classical to jazz and back to “bump and grind” runway music. This recording was made in 1988 on the Wurlitzer organ originally from the Minnesota Theatre in Minneapolis. It was rebuilt and installed by the late David Junchen in a large private music room. The selections you will hear on this album were all played with spontaneous creativity by the late Tom Hazleton in informal sessions. The crowning contribution on the album is a 32 minute medley that Tom wove together from selections and themes that are associated with the American South. He entitled it Southern Fantasia. This is a chance to hear and appreciate the fertile musical imagination of Tom Hazleton at its best.
