The New York Rock Ensemble was an American rock band that formed in the late 1960s, notable for its fusion of rock with classical music elements. The band was composed of conservatory-trained musicians, including Michael Kamen and Martin Fulterman, who later achieved significant success in film scoring. Their distinctive sound was characterized by a blend of rock instruments with orchestral ones, such as the oboe and the French horn. Despite their relatively short existence, the band's innovative musical approach left an indelible mark on the rock genre, most notably in their influential album "Roll Over".
