You guys are true steel band music lovers and you are not alone.This is steel band music in the commercial form you got to feel the vibes if you really like carnival calypso music on steel drums it never leave the mind not much steel bands leave that on you this piece of music said it all,it is sweet and memorable.
If you don`t feel this piece of music sorry to say but you don`t no pan music the vibes in this peace of music is steel band music at the highest commercial form when Trinidad and Tobago except this style you will hear pan music on the radio like pop music,right now TandTis not ready for this clean smooth jazzy calypso carnival sound,The Professor ,Boogsie and Andy is setting the standard now it is up to you all to except and enjoy where steel band music is going .
This piece of music represent the past and today steel bands of the south like Trinidad Mystros Gondolars Vibratones All Stars Free French Silvertones Sundowners Melody Makers Cavaliers Hillside Sym. Silouttes Rouge Regiment West Starsand all others that past on Coffee street during their time.
I am trying to remember in history, where there is a more distinct, unique, chord strumming together with a distinct, specific, clear, bass run together like what is played here between the time 5;44 to 6;44. Is there ?
Is the a more clear version of this somewhere. The static near the end (8;52 etc ) stalls the momentum.
The style is different to the traditional panorama sound, and on the same token it is an arrangement than can be appreciated worldwide. A piece of pan music, not just in the Caribbean for the Caribbean, but for the world to listen to.
Beautiful music, but same problem I have with Holman.....a really nice listen, but panorama music is carnival music. Anytime i feel to listen and not get up and dance, the essence of panorama as a carnival art is lost. This just does not move me to dance
@psychologistpannist for your info this was arranged by Andy Narrell..it was great to watch him work.....I would go there after my rehearsals with Fonclaire
@casym4ever I think you misread my comment...I know this was arranged by Narell, who is an entertaining player just like Holman. Its their common approach to arranging panorama music that I have a problem with. Their panorama arrangements are more Sunday afternoon in the hollows than carnival saturday night on the racetrack. Hope you understand what I mean
At the time this was a refreshing sound and still is for a panorama tune up to this day, just wish that Andy Narell had stayed in the compitition and forget the judges. Sweet music will always win.
This is pure class! I don't think the judges were ready for this one. Who wants a panorama where the bands sound the same...the word 'Originality' springs to mind. Love this!!!
I'm a big fan of andy narrel but one of reason why the band came 12th is because there was no structure in the tune. After the first verse there was no verse solo he went straight into the jam and then another jam after that and judges look for that after all its a competition. but I really dont know why he stop arranging for the band because I LOVE THIS SONG AND WHO CARES WHAT THE JUDGES DECIDE AT THE END OF THE DAY. 1999 Panorama was one of the best panoramas.
I agree, I like this tune a lot but as a panorama tune as defined by the genre's standard devices such as development, variation, use of themes, etc. it pretty much falls flat, doesn't go anywhere. It's like Andy was trying too hard to re-invent the wheel. And to me, it's pretty but not that exciting. Panorama is a carnival event and it needs that energy. And contrary to what some may say, excitement and musicality are not mutually exclusive. Just ask Jit, Boogsie, Professor, etc.
Andy clearly knew what he was doing with this. I suspect he did not place higher because the chorus perhaps sounded too latin, as opposed to calypso. But second guessing the judges is never wise. Still, Andy has the last laugh because it certainly has become a standard in Panorama music.
The Eastern Kentucky University, Miami University, and West Virginia University steelbands will be combining to play this tune along with Izo's Mood, Dee Mwa Wee, Song For Mia as well as Jeff Narell's Ellie Man, La Plaza, and Jungle Rain. And the best part - Both Andy and Jeff will be playing at the concert as well!

Andy clearly knew what he was doing with this. I suspect he did not place higher because the chorus perhaps sounded too latin, as opposed to calypso. But second guessing the judges is never wise. Still, Andy has the last laugh because it certainly has become a standard in Panorama music.
