Song of Innocence

Song of Innocence (1968) by David Axelrod is an instrumental, Blake-inspired record that fuses jazz, jazz-funk, psychedelic rock, and baroque pop. Axelrod layers orchestral strings and brass over rock and funk rhythm sections to create cinematic, dramatic arrangements with psychedelic textures and prominent melodic motifs. The album is notable for its dense, orchestral production and for blending classical orchestration with jazz and rock elements.
