Review by Anurag Verma

Holy Thursday, the album by David Axelrod, is a masterpiece that combines elements of jazz, funk, and classical music. The album features a range of instruments, from strings and brass to electric guitar and drums, all expertly arranged and produced by Axelrod.

The album's title track, "Holy Thursday," is a standout piece that opens with a haunting melody played by a solo oboe, before building to a crescendo with the full orchestra. The track is a tribute to the composer's Jewish heritage and is based on a traditional Jewish melody.

Other tracks on the album, such as "The Smile" and "The Human Abstract," showcase Axelrod's skillful use of percussion and his ability to create complex rhythmic patterns. The album also features several vocal tracks, including "Crystal Ball" and "The Shadow Knows," which showcase the powerful voice of singer Lou Rawls.
