Two Albums Out
The background of the rest of
the group includes the Royal
Conservatory of Music in Toronto,
the CBC Symphony, the Juilliard
and Berkeley Schools of Music, and
numerous big bands in this country.
This classical and big band influence
is present in Lighthouse's
sound, but it is rock that they play,
make no mistake about that.
The group has two albums out
on RCA Victor, entitled "Lighthouse"
and "Suite Feeling," and
have played to standing ovations at
Newport Jazz Festival, Fillmore
East and West, Atlantic City Pop
Festival and numerous college concerts.
One is tempted to say that
Lighthouse is succeeding where
Blood, Sweat and Tears wishes it
could tread, but such comparisons
are unfair, due mainly to BS&T's
profundity of hype. Lighthouse
may not release eight singles from a
single album, but they know what
they are playing and do it expertly.
The University has managed to
come up with another superb
concert for our enjoyment. It is
much to Student Council and
WUVA's credit that such major
groups will be appearing here this
weekend.
