The Wrecking Crew (music) (original) (raw)
- The Wrecking Crew war der Name von Studiomusikern wechselnder Zusammensetzung, die insbesondere in den kalifornischen Tonstudios von Los Angeles zwischen 1961 und 1976 als Begleitung von berühmten Interpreten spielten. (de)
- The Wrecking Crew fue un colectivo de músicos de sesión afincados en Los Ángeles, California, Estados Unidos, cuyos servicios se emplearon para miles de grabaciones de estudio en la década de 1960 y comienzos de la década de 1970, incluidos varios cientos de éxitos Top 40. Los músicos no tuvieron reconocimiento público en su época, aunque gozaron de un enorme prestigio entre los profesionales de la industria musical. Actualmente son considerados una de las unidades de grabación de sesión más exitosas y prolíficas en la historia de la música. La mayor parte de los músicos que integraron the Wrecking Crew provenían del jazz y la música clásica. El grupo no tuvo un nombre oficial durante los años que estuvo activo, y sigue siendo un tema de disputa si en ese momento se los conocía como "Wrecking Crew" (demoledores). El batería Hal Blaine popularizó el nombre en sus memorias, publicadas en 1990, atribuyéndolo a músicos más viejos que pensaban que la aportación del grupo al rock and roll iba a "destrozar" la industria de la música. Algunos de los colegas de Blaine corroboraron su versión, mientras que la guitarrista y bajista Carol Kaye sostiene que el término que utilizaban para referirse al grupo era "The Clique". Otro nombre no oficial fue "First Call Gang", a veces utilizado en la década de 1950 para una versión embrionaria del grupo encabezada por el bajista Ray Pohlman. El grupo se formó a comienzos de la década de 1960 como banda de facto para Phil Spector, contribuyendo al desarrollo del método de producción conocido como Wall of Sound. En gran parte debido al éxito de los discos de Spector, se convirtieron en los músicos de sesión más solicitados en Los Ángeles, tocando para muchos artistas populares como Jan & Dean, Sonny & Cher, the Mamas & the Papas, the 5th Dimension, Frank Sinatra o Nancy Sinatra. En ocasiones eran usados como "intérpretes fantasma" en grabaciones acreditadas a bandas de rock, como en el debut de the Byrds con la versión del tema de Bob Dylan, "Mr. Tambourine Man" (1965), los primeros dos álbumes de the Monkees o el exitoso álbum de the Beach Boys de 1966, Pet Sounds. En ocasiones fueron acreditados como "The Phil Spector Wall of Sound Orchestra". Las contribuciones de Wrecking Crew en tantos éxitos musicales pasaron inadvertidas para el gran público hasta la publicación de las memorias de Blaine en 1990, con gran repercusión mediática. Artistas como el teclista Leon Russell y el guitarrista Glen Campbell fueron miembros del grupo que alcanzaron fama posteriormente con sus carreras en solitario. Blaine, menos conocido, participó sin embargo en la grabación de más de 140 éxitos musicales, de los que, al menos 40 alcanzaron en número 1 de las listas de éxitos. Otos músicos que formaron parte de la agrupación fueron el batería Earl Palmer, el saxofonista Steve Douglas, el guitarrista Tommy Tedesco o el tecladista Larry Knechtel, miembro posterior de la banda Bread. Blaine y Palmer fueron incluidos en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en 2000, mientras que la totalidad de los miembros de Wrecking Crew fueron incluidos en el Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum en 2007. En 2008, se estrenó el documental The Wrecking Crew. (es)
- The Wrecking Crew est un groupe informel de musiciens de studio de haut niveau basé à Los Angeles, de formation jazz ou classique, et qui constitue le plus fameux ensemble de musiciens de studio de toute l'histoire de la musique américaine. Les compétences de ces musiciens ont été utilisées sur pratiquement tous les styles d'enregistrements, y compris les bandes sonores de séries télévisées ou de films, les musiques de publicité et pratiquement tous les genres de musique populaire nord-américaine, des Monkees à Bing Crosby. Les personnalités le plus souvent associées au Wrecking Crew sont notamment Phil Spector, qui a utilisé le groupe pour créer son fameux effet dit du Wall of Sound, et Brian Wilson — principal compositeur des Beach Boys — sur beaucoup de ses productions du milieu des années 1960, y compris les chansons California Girls, Good Vibrations et l'album décisif Pet Sounds.

- The Wrecking Crew was a loose collective of Los Angeles-based session musicians whose services were employed for a great number of studio recordings in the 1960s and 1970s, including hundreds of top 40 hits. The musicians were not publicly recognized in their era, but were viewed with reverence by industry insiders. They are now considered one of the most successful and prolific session recording units in music history. Most of the players associated with the Wrecking Crew had formal backgrounds in jazz or classical music. The group had no official name in its active years, and it remains a subject of contention whether or not they were referred to as "the Wrecking Crew" at the time. Drummer Hal Blaine popularized the name in his 1990 memoir, attributing it to older musicians who felt that the group's embrace of rock and roll was going to "wreck" the music industry. Some of Blaine's colleagues corroborated his account, while guitarist/bassist Carol Kaye contended that they were called "the Clique". Another unofficial name was "the First Call Gang", sometimes used in the 1950s for an early version of the group headed by bassist Ray Pohlman which featured some of the same musicians. The unit coalesced in the early 1960s as the de facto house band for Phil Spector and helped realize his Wall of Sound production style. They subsequently became the most requested session musicians in Los Angeles, playing behind many popular recording artists including Jan and Dean, Sonny & Cher, the Mamas and the Papas, the 5th Dimension, Frank Sinatra, and Nancy Sinatra. The musicians were sometimes used as "ghost players" on recordings credited to rock groups, such as the Byrds' debut rendition of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" (1965), the first two albums by the Monkees, and the Beach Boys' 1966 album Pet Sounds. The Wrecking Crew's contributions to so many hit recordings went largely unnoticed until the publication of Blaine's memoir and the attention that followed. Keyboardist Leon Russell and guitarist Glen Campbell were members who became popular solo acts, while Blaine is reputed to have played on more than 140 top-ten hits, including approximately 40 number-one hits. Other musicians who formed the unit's ranks were drummer Earl Palmer, saxophonist Steve Douglas, guitarist Tommy Tedesco, and keyboardist Larry Knechtel, who became a member of Bread. Blaine and Palmer were among the inaugural "sidemen" inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, and the entire Wrecking Crew was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2007. In 2008, they were the subject of the documentary The Wrecking Crew. (en)
- The Wrecking Crew was een los collectief van zo'n 60 voortdurend in groepssamenstelling roulerende sessiemuzikanten uit Los Angeles (Amerika) in de jaren 1960 en eerste helft jaren 1970. Het collectief, dat in die jaren geen formele naam had, vormde de basis voor vele duizenden studio-opnamen voor talloze bekende en onbekende muzikanten. De meeste muzikanten van The Wrecking Crew hadden een achtergrond in de klassieke, maar vooral de jazzwereld. Later voegden zich ook virtuoze rock-'n-rolltalenten bij de groep (o.a. Glen Campbell) omdat deze de gitaarintro's en solo's van de toenmalige tijd beter beheersten. De medewerking van de muzikanten werd indertijd meestal niet vermeld op de platenhoezen. Tegenwoordig beschouwt men de groep als een van de vruchtbaarste sessiegroepen ooit, met een onschatbare waarde voor de popmuziek uit de periode 1960-1976. (nl)
