The Alan Lorber Orchestra

Vintage Psychedelic Pop Orchestra

The Alan Lorber Orchestra was a project led by Alan Lorber, an American record producer, composer, and arranger prominent during the 1960s and 1970s. Lorber was known for his work in the "Bosstown Sound," a term he coined to describe the psychedelic rock scene in Boston, which was intended to rival San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury. Although The Alan Lorber Orchestra did not achieve widespread fame, Lorber himself was influential in the music industry, working with various artists and contributing to the development of jazz fusion and orchestral arrangements within popular music. His work often blended Eastern musical influences with Western pop music, a style that was innovative at the time. The album "The Lotus Palace" by The Alan Lorber Orchestra is an example of his interest in creating a fusion of sounds, incorporating exotic instruments and arrangements.
