Editorial Reviews
Michael Hochanedel, Schenectady Daily Gazette
“...like filling a music store with laughing gas, turning eight wonderfully talented virtuosos very loose inside...seriously sharp and spirited...”
Product Description
Hot on the heels of 1999’s "Ivan in Paris" comes the first all-studio album from Chandler Travis in more than two decades, plus the debut of the world's only alternative dixieland band, the Chandler Travis Philharmonic. This reckless aggregation of disparate instruments (horns, mandocello, accordion, guitar, etc.) and ideas (gorgeous ballads, loopy lyrics, and all-out assaults on everything we know as pop) has been throwing New Englanders for serious loops for the last couple of years with a live show that Jim Macnie of the Village Voice says is "a keenly entertaining blend of the Ringling Bros. and Ra that puts the harm back in Philharmonic!" "Let's Have a Pancake" features some of Boston's best horn players, wonder drummer/Incredible Casual Rikki Bates, keyboardist Keith Spring (NRBQ, MARTIN MULL), and cameos from NRBQ's Terry Adams and Big Al Anderson.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Chandler Travis Philharmonic should not be missed!!!,
By Brian Bilick (Somerville, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let's Have a Pancake! (Audio CD)
Wow!! This is indeed the most mainstream album they have put out to date. The Chandler Travis Philharmonic is one of the most creative, musical, funny and hardest working bands around, and this album is a mere glimpse at what they have to offer. If they are in your area GO!!!! You will get your moneys worth when you fill their tips bucket and be highly entertained. 'Got To Let Go Sometime' would make the best single release (as far as what is played on the Radio these days), as well as 'Nature Boy', 'This is Home', 'Stay Like That' and 'That's What She Said'. All of these songs have mixes of POP music styles, with influences you can hear from the Beatles, Kinks and Elvis Costello. The songwriting is truly original with many sides that can be: commiserate, funny, and instantly recognizable, and so are all the players, and the performances (when you catch them live.)
5.0 out of 5 stars
Fabulously different,
By James Lee "Jim" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let's Have a Pancake! (Audio CD)
Ahhh the man from Buswell Street hits all the notes but missing still is his famous " Theme From Perry Mason " and hearts will not sleep until we have heard it reprised.
