It's been a good day for records today. I'm listening to "Hello Amigos" The Ames Brothers under the Direction of Juan Garcia Esquivel.
And it is like listening to any of the Esquivel records, especially when the boys from Boston take a break singing and the man can almost let loose.
"Explosive Brass Impact" Warren Cline and his Brass Impact Orchestra Vol 2. Some friends here have passed on some copies of this series to me, but not this one and they deliver on their promise of Pow!Pow!Pow! POW! An Overwelming Music Experience". Nice wordless vocals. I needed another version of "Gregory Girl".
Henry Jerome "Brazen Brass Zings the Strings" IÆve got some of the other Brazen Brass series... After an adventurous "Holiday For Strings" it seems to be all downhill.
"Sing a Song With Riddle" Ok I've haven't listened to this yet.
The description: ôYOU are the solo star, with big orchestra backgrounds by NELSON RIDDLE (Booklet complete with music and lyrics enclosed)."
Have you, like me, been guilty of speeding down the highway, car speakers blaring and singing along with Frank? "My Baby Cares Just For Meeeee!!!!!!! When they are that loud you think you almost sound good. But thatÆs Frank your hearing! Not You!
I have a voice that will choke an ostrich. IÆll wait until the family goes out. Then IÆll sneak this out and give it a try. And go for the gusto.

You can certainly count me among the fans of the Rockville (CT) Rocker.
I would like to take this opportunity to plug Andrew's Ace Archive one more
time. Andrew Rogers was a seminal internet personality (since 1983!) who
mainly contributed to the on-line guitar community. His note-perfect
transcriptions of pop songs from the '50s to the '90s (but mainly of the
'60s) are the stuff of legend to internet-connected guitar players. Mr.
Rogers tabbed out many Bachrach/David tunes among hundreds (nearly 700,
actually, 17 from Gene Pitney) of others, and his wry commentary and
attention to detail will be remembered by many.
Andrew Rogers passed away last August during a bone-marrow transpalnt to
treat his leukimia.
I urge any guitarists (or fans of pop music) in the group who are not
already familiar with his work, to check out his web page:

You will NOT be disappointed.
Best,
Craig Carlson

Subject: (exotica) Les Baxter News Flash!!
Aloha Fellow Exoticats,
Here is some VERY good news.........
Collectables CD label is releasing a Les Baxter two-fer on October 17th. It
will include both
"Tamboo" and "Skins!". It will also have 3 bonus tracks but they are just
standard lush material.
Kind of weird to see these albums on one CD. Kind of mismatched if you ask
me.
"Ritual" and "Tamboo" would have made a more logical pair but hey, we'll
take what we can get right?
I hope they do more. The next logical two-fer in my mind would be both
"Jungle Jazz" and "African Jazz" on one CD. I really hope this CD does
phenomenal so Capitol may get a clue about the importance of this man and
his music. Here is a link that will take you right there................

At least this is a start.
Mahalo,
Jeff
