Margie Meinert - Crazy Calliope Music - 18-Apr-06 01:44 AM
The Calliope is an instrument propelled by an engine that fills its metal pipes with steam rather than air. It's played by means of a keyboard, similar to that of an organ. It have taken the name from Calliope, the chief of the Greek Muses, who presided over heroic verse and eloquence. Calliope was a very popular during the early 20th century and was usually found on river boats and in circuses.
The release sleeve says: "This is not an album of jazz or even rock'n'roll, it's just an album with a Calliope". But in fact the sound more looks like an old New Orleans jazz school. On the release Margie Meinert presents collection of street parades, cowboys, river boats, circuses & marching songs.
