Jan & Dean’s Pop Symphony No. 1 (In 12 Hit Movements)
The Bel-Aire Pops Orchestra
Arranged and Conducted by Jan Berry and George Tipton
Jan Berry describes the project . . .
This album fulfills a dream and also answers a question that has been on my mind for the six years that Dean and I have been recording. The question: Is it possible to take contemporary popular music and state it and develop it symphonically? The dream: To be able to do it. I guess that’s one of the things that inspired me to attend Music Theory classes at U.C.L.A.
