This was Lester Bangs and "Creem" magazine. The story is in "Psychotic Reactions."

The holy trinity for me are Paco De Lucia, Sabicas and Andres Segovia. Also
check out Lole y Manuel for some amazingly emotional stuff, if you're into
that sort of thing. Let me know if you want album recommendations as well,
but it's not like they have any crap ones.

Subject: (exotica) Kahiki Party Report #1 (long-ish)
When a Moment takes place you just revel in the communion. The closing
of the Kahiki was an unlikely Moment featuring a benign mid-western city, a
bland landscape and a bittersweet Blip on the architectural radar screen. But
the underground friction of a rare Moment invested Columbus Ohio with a
special power on August 26, if for only that Blip which stunned local
Kahiki-lovers and rewarded the emotional expectations of a surprisingly tight
band of onlookers from distant and nearby "shores".
The evening began at 6PM with a long line at the front door. Each guest
had bought a ticket in advance and the crowd was three-to-one Columbus area
people. Upon getting lei'd, stamped (with a tiki of course) and tee-shirted,
we were admitted into the majesty of the Kahiki lobby. The locals were
visibly moved by the rush of "jet-setters", none of whom appeared to take
themselves too seriously much to the betterment of the evening. The
inevitable "documentary makers", "journalists" and "celebrities", tongues
firmly in cheek, added to the mysticism of the event: several photographers
were seen taking shots of other photographers as they themselves snapped
pictures of exotica "celebrities". (Names have been omitted for the
protection of the guilty). For a Moment, the Exotica Movement was playing its
most subversive card: a failed supperclub in Ohio had become a Classic, and
unknown Exoticats and Kittens had become Legends.
The evening was a lesson in lost culture. As Exotica tunes offered by
several DJ's were spun, a delectable array of exotic/Asian dishes were
offered in a buffet whose display was an award winner. Notable was the giant
pineapple adorned with fresh shrimp mounted on toothpicks. The skinned and
cooked baby pig, head and body intact, was bypassed by yours truly! After
self-generated introductions and the pitter patter of post-dinner chatter, it
was upstairs for the live music. It opened with a short emotional speech rife
with promises of reopening "on the river" by amiable Kahiki owner Michael
Tsao. Michael's overblown dialog with the audience was certainly forgivable.
It was his 15 minutes and he wanted an extension. The presentation then
segued to a film clip of Martin Denny talking exotica and sitting down at a
piano to play the opening bass notes of "Quiet Village". Don Tiki segued in
"live" and the film faded to black as the Honolulu nonet began playing "Quiet
Village" in earnest to the delight of the packed hall. As the Mondo Tiki that
IS the centerpiece of the Kahiki presided solemnly, Don Tiki overcame the
predictable shrieks of clubland feedback and turned in a tight performance of
Ethno-Polyblends that swayed the crowd. The cutie who sings "An Occasional
Man" shimmied especially for yours truly (ask Jeff Chenault!) as she played
bass. I surrendered, seized by the frenzy of a Tiki-Styled Cha Cha. A few
femme fatales, exotically and erotically dressed, were selected by your's
truly to Bust A Move. Or did they select me? The soul claps raised like
thunder in the heat of the Moment as the floor shook in celebration.
But, 40 minutes of dancefloor workout call for a cocktail. Having already
sampled the Mai Tai and the Headhunter, I ordered a Smoking Eruption and just
in the nick of time as my Moment came for a conversation with a flowered
maiden from Nashville who was recruiting fellow travellers to witness the
closing of the Desert Inn in Vegas. The maiden--I think I'll call her
Mary--said that the closing was slated for the next evening! I asked her if
witnessing dying icons of eras long gone was her modus operandi. She smiled
demurely, clearly moved by the cleverness of my query. I shared my Smoking
Eruption with her as she smiled seductively. The ecstacy of the evening began
to melt into an Exotic and Erotic blur, the power of which most in
attendance seemed to feel. That was the Moment that I felt most happy to have
taken four Advil prior to leaving the hotel!
The night wound down slowly and surely, revellers saying long goodbyes
and feeling the carmaderie they hoped would be felt upon attending such a
Moment. This was a Moment that will live in infamy.............Jimmy
Botticelli
(Hopefully someone will cover the artwork, architecture and tiki sculpture in
the Kahiki...simply astonishing)

The Thelonious Monk tribute is called "That's Way I feel Now". I have it on CD but get it on LP if you can find it. They took some tracks off the 2 LP set to put it on CD. Great Joe Jackson version of 'round Midnight".
And the Disney CD is great. I just wish most of the tracks were not squashed into medleys....
and speaking of medleys...I know most of you hate the Ultra Lounge habit of taking 2 songs and putting them onto a singe track...Just borrowed the "Bachelor in Paris" CD...usually given low marks by those I asked about the series...One thing I was not told about this one is that every 3 or so tracks they have young lady with a French accent talking up all the romantic sites of Le Pari.
Beside that I really liked this one.

And to that end, get "Friday Night in San Francisco", Paco De Lucia, Al
DiMeola and John McLaughlin. All armed with nothing else but three
acoustic guitars and an eager audience.
To quote a fellow selling programs outside of a ball game I went to as a
