Baldassarre Rock Orchestra (2024 Highlight Reel)
Hello UA-cam family! 🎸✨
It's been a long time since we rocked & rolled! Many of you have asked why I haven't posted any "Professor of Classic Rock" UA-cam videos. The simple answer is... "There is only one of me!" 😅
I loved doing music breakdowns for my UA-cam fans, but I also love writing and performing live. The reality is, I can't do all three things at once. So, a year ago, I decided to focus on writing and putting together a new live show. 🎶
I'm finishing up a new album called "Deep Grooves" with Jacob Dupre and Nick D'Virgilio. Remember them from my short-lived "Soul of Zeppelin" project? We've created a killer album of riff & groove-heavy music deeply rooted in the style of 70's funk, soul, and rock. Much of the inspiration came from the episodes I did for my channel. More about this album will be forthcoming. 🎸🕺
What's taken the lion's share of my time is putting together my live show, The Baldassarre Rock Orchestra. This 70’s classic rock symphonic circus unites the power of rock and classical music in a spectacle of sound, lights, and entertainment! The 9-piece rock orchestra features killer musicians, including the world-renowned string quartet OPUS 216 and Mark Boals on lead vocals (You might remember Mark from my PROG band Syzygy). 🎻🎤
The Baldassarre Rock Orchestra plays a mix of 70's classic rock with symphonic arrangements and original classical and rock music I've written. The show is a wildly diverse and flowing production. 🎶🌟
All of this to say... HERE IS OUR OFFICIAL HIGHLIGHT VIDEO that gives you a glimpse of the Baldassarre Rock Orchestra live! We hope you like it! 🎥🤘
The shows are going great and have been a lot of fun. It's also been a ton of work to take this show on the road, as we have 11 performers plus 8 crew/production staff! But it's worth every calorie of energy! 🚐🔥
If you have a chance to read this description, please like, subscribe, and comment on this video! 👍📲💬
BTW... I will return to the channel with new episodes at some point, but I'm having a lot of fun putting into practice what I've been showing all of you! 🤗🎸
Peace & Love,
Carl ✌️❤️

    A lot of people mindlessy say that Page is sloppy without giving it much thought. They just hop on the bandwagon and while doing that, miss the forests for the trees. Page definitely had sloppy moments but to dismiss all of his playing as sloppy is such BS.

    I had seen Page / Plant in 1993 at the Spectrum in Philly. Page stopped his solo on the middle and restarted. It broke my heart. And Plant who I didn’t expect to sound great did in fact sound fantastic. I agree with you though… he played with passion and emotion. and his body of work speaks for itself. He was not a Steve via and that’s just fine. Still a legend. It’s too easy to tear people apart long after the fact.

    Martin barre was a great guitarist but this music was written by ian anderson. I think barre wrote a little on minstrel in the gallery but anderson was the composer on everything else.

    Excellent 👏 The comparison to the Impressionists was a perfect analogy for Page’s soloing. I am a huge Page fan, and I suppose then it’s no coincidence that my favorite art belongs in the Impressionist category.

    I watch these guys playing really complex guitar and dream theatre and then i say can you play Red Barchette by Rush and theyre like man that basic been playing it for decades. Then they continue to play it note for note, but it sucks. They can play a Joe Satriani song but cant make triads or basic guitar sound really good. You cant play easy stuff like Gilmour well if youre shredding and spending all your time on that, sorry never heard it from a shredder. When someone says i lie your tone they dont realize its the players understated technique.

    Barre is a very good guitarist but he is not underrated as suggested by many. His guitar tone is integral to the Tull sound JT has become a truly great and unique band because of Ian Anderson’s considerable talents- songwriting, composition, powerful vocals , acoustic guitar , harmonica plus the flute and the pulsating guitar of Barre . In addition there is propulsive drumming of Clive Bunker, thumping bass guitar of Glen and subtle piano and organ of Evans . It’s the merging of these sounds that made JT a truly unique band . JT music is a combination of jazz, blues , folk , hard rock and progressive rock . Acoustic JT is as good as hard rocking JT

    Every dirty sound is cleaner than you'd initially think, and every good clean tone is dirtier than you'd think. Almost all great guitar tones exist in a pretty narrow band of gain.

    Hey Carl, Jimmy here, I wanted to ask, as a few suggestions. Would you be able to do a breakdown to 3 Epic songs, all by RUSH? “Jacob’s Ladder,” “La Villa Strangiato,” & “The Camera Eye.” I would like to hear how you would break these songs down, by their “sections/movements.” These are just suggestions, thanks for listening!

    Did he...are you...using the delay time & length, both on roughly the #1 settings? I've played for nearly 52 years but have never purposefully attempted to emulate his playing nor tone. He, like Tony Iommi are 2 of the most marvelously weirdest players of all time, which of course is a good thing! Thanks;)
