Mannheim Steamroller

Mannheim Steamroller is an American neoclassical new-age music ensemble founded and directed by percussionist/composer Chip Davis in 1974.The song was based on the character created by Fries and music composed by Davis for a series of Clio winning ads for Metz Baking Company for their Old Home Bread product.All four of these albums maintained the blend of baroque classical music, light jazz, and rock and featured Jackson Berkey's virtuosic keyboard work.A live tour of the early albums featured a prominent light show and multimedia components, along with spoken poetry by Almeda Berkey.While the music was slightly different from the album versions, it was played in lockstep at each show, as it had to coordinate the live musicians with recorded tracks of strings and other orchestral parts.[12] As a result, Manheim Steamroller found a whole new audience among conservatives, and became one of the most requested Christmas music artists of all time.[citation needed] Steamroller developed a full-length theatrical motion picture based on their Christmas albums, but the plans for production fell through.McCall and featured a remake of "Convoy"); and an album Yellowstone: The Music of Nature, for the PBS special of the same name, mixing prior Davis compositions and a series of classical pieces by Ottorino Respighi and others.A new album composed and performed in the design of the Fresh Aire series, Exotic Spaces, was set for release in March 2018.
