An Afternoon with RIP Hayman: he says, “My work is tangible spirit based on the awareness of sound, mingling meditation, mystery, humor, and human response. I seek the unheard… I do this because it is the most real and imagined, detached and involved, earthy and ethereal way I can live and never know what will be next.”

The Sound Of Feeling

The Sound Of Feeling

The Sound Of Feeling has been played on NTS over 10 times, featured on 15 episodes and was first played on 20 July 2015.

The Sound Of Feeling was a group initially consisting of multi-instrumentalist/arranger/singer Gary David and twin sister vocalists (Alyce Bielfeldt and Rhae Bielfeldt (later Alyce and Rhae Andrece), who met in Los Angeles in the mid-1960's. The sisters had been trying to break as a singing duo, and had even done a stint in Las Vegas as showgirls, whilst David had been playing jazz in the area around San Francisco, following his discharge from the army in 1959. In addition to being proficient on bass, piano, and drums, he also sang and arranged. He and the Andreces, choosing the name The Sound Of Feeling, moved into realms of avant-garde jazz that managed to incorporate elements of pop music, classical, and even folk sources, built around the sisters' unique, soaring vocal sound. By 1967, amid the burgeoning psychedelic boom, The Sound Of Feeling were in exactly the right position in relation to pop and jazz they were heard by jazz critic/scholar Leonard Feather, who took to their innovative approach to jazz vocalizing and put them together with Oliver Nelson. The result was their debut album for Verve Records, with Feather producing, supported by Nelson on soprano sax, with Ray Neapolitan (bass), Chuck Domanico (bass) and Dick Fisher (drums). They were signed to Mercury Records following an appearance with Duke Ellington at the Newport Jazz Festival, which yielded their second album, "Spleen", which like its predecessor got a Grammy Award nomination. The sound is very groovy, with a female vocal duet, and mod swingin' jazzy lyrics. The group continued working together until 1972 when David and the Andreces went their separate ways.
