Scott, Raymond

Powerhouse

Visionary composer Raymond Scott was a pure genius largely known thanks to the massive recycling and adaptation of his music for cartoons. 'Powerhouse,' the title track of this beautiful collection, is one of his best known compositions for Warner Brothers animated cartoons. Scott's Quintette recorded 'Powerhouse' in New York on February 20, 1937. The first use in a cartoon occurred in the 1943 Looney Tunes short 'Porky Pig's Feat' and since then we can count hundreds of apparitions, versions and quotes, from Bugs Bunny to The Simpson via Kronos Quartet and Don Byron's versions. In other words: a true classic piece of music beyond time and genres.
