From 1978 to 1990 the majority of the original music in the live performances and most of the studio-album recordings of the band-driven choral ensemble, Kol Simcha (Sound of Joy) were written, arranged, and co-produced by Bruce Cohen – and most of the time, with his uniquely-branded piano-playing driving it, during what Kol Simcha soprano Kathy Shooster called, “Kol Simcha’s ‘golden era.'”
Each song is playable directly from the links below. Enjoy! (Released Early April 2017)
“What I love about this raw, non-studio collection is that the separate and distinct qualities of the vocal and instrumental performances, and harmony-arrangements can each be clearly heard for what they were truly back then, without studio correction or masking – despite often tremulous analog recording, and a decidedly honkey-tonk sounding old piano in one of the live venues. This collection captures how it all really was – live.”
– Bruce L. Cohen, Composer/Pianist/Arranger
