The Entourage Music and Theater Ensemble was an ambient music group. The group was active from 1970 to 1983 and performed in theaters in combination with dance ensembles.〔http://www.entouragemusic.com Official Entourage website〕 〔http://www.psychedelicfolk.com/EntourageMusic.html Psychedelic Folk Website〕 The primary members were founder and director Joe Clark on saxophones and keyboards; Rusti Clark (no relation) on viola and guitar; Michael S. Smith on drums and percussion; and Wall Matthews on guitars, keyboards, and percussion. Entourage formed in Baltimore, Maryland in the early 70's, relocated to Millbrook, New York, then moved to New London, Connecticut in the mid-seventies and finally re-settled in the Baltimore, Maryland area. The group disbanded after the death of Rusti Clark in 1983. ==Recordings and Noted Performances== In the mid-seventies, Moe Asch of Folkways Records produced two recordings: ''Entourage'' (1973) and ''The Neptune Collection ''(1975). Both recordings were made available on custom CD and digital download in 2007 by Smithsonian Folkways.〔http://www.folkways.si.edu/index.html Smithsonian Folkways Recordings〕 In 1976, noted choreographer Murray Louis commissioned the group to create a two-hour original score based on the ballet Cleopatra for the Royal Danish Ballet. The ensemble was commissioned by Nebraska Public Television to create a half-hour national television special, ''Ceremony of Dreams'' in 1978. 〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PFu-2jqOxk YouTube Video of 1978 Performance by Entourage, "Ceremony of Dreams"〕 In 2003, a composition from ''The Neptune Collection'', "Neptune Rising", was sampled and used as the basis for the single She Moves She by the electronic music artist Four Tet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Entourage Music and Theater Ensemble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
