In hopes that this might help pull us out of our current doldrums, here's a thread proposal... Pick one of your favorite albums -- not necessarily your #1 favorite (who could pick that?!?), just *a* favorite -- and write a little something about it. Include a bit of description (especially if it's not so well-known), but primarily explain WHY you like it. This also strikes me as being a good way for our new members or silent lurkers to pop up and introduce themselves into the conversation. And hopefully, these pieces will set off further discussion. If we all throw in (Lazlo never *did* say how many of us there are), that would be a lot of good reading. You may not have the time right now, but please keep this in mind as something to do in the future. Maybe consider it an adjunct to the regular "finds" posts? Write up one of your favorites every month? Anyway, here's mine: Esquivel, His Piano & Group - "Four Corners Of The World" (1958) With time left over at the end of the "Other Worlds, Other Sounds" sessions, Esquivel's producer suggested that they record additional material -- resulting in this quickly improvised album of Senor E in a small combo setting (pno, gtr, flute, bass, drms, Latin perc). Many look on this as a minor work, lacking the complex arrangements of his orchestral albums. The Man himself seems to regret the album, for that same reason, as well as feeling it was too hurried and his playing suffered as a result. But I still like it. I really enjoy hearing him work in a more intimate setting. It provides another perspective on his musical vision. I also enjoy hearing his inventive piano playing in a less crowded environment. It may not be up to his own high standards, but it sure blows *my* mind. And given the rushed conditions, the arrangements are pretty interesting. Who can resist "Blue Danube" with a driving Latin percussion section? That section being Jack Costanzo, Luis Miranda, Rodrigo Sierra and Joe Pagone. And while naming names, session legend, Tommy Tedesco is the man on guitar. The recording quality is excellent -- a well detailed "real band in a real room" recording. True enough, it's not the kaleidoscopic, high octane production that his orchestral recordings are. But it is an opportunity to eavesdrop on the master in an informal, "after hours" kind of session -- and that's mighty fine. And like all of his records, it's filled with positive energy. Your move. m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ (Movies Of The Week tv picks for Jan. 11 to 18 now posted) - - # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jan 1998 20:37:39 +0100 From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: stylophone NRBQ's "christmas wish" (mini-lp, rounder EP2501, 1985) has 2 excellent (though a bit short) stylophone tracks. the rest of the album is only so-so.

Anyway, I'm a huge fan of spy jazz and these two albums are great! If you like your spy jazz 50s style, these two volumes are definitely it!! Included are Theme from Naked City, Rawhide, Richard Diamond, Perry Mason, M Squad, Sea Hunt (!), Waterfront, Highway Patrol and Peter Gunn, and that's just volume one!! Recorded in 1959, these records rule for a quick overview of the genre. There are, of course, loads of spy jazz albums. You can get an idea of what you like on these two volumes, then go out and search out the albums from which these themes come from. The search is half or more than half the fun!!

His "Bongo Rock" is a classic RnR instrumental and was the first US single I ever bought. It had a large centre hole and even when adaptors called spiders were invented, I never did get that record to sit centrally on the turntable. I never really understood why the held guitar chords wowed, yet the bongo sound came over ok unchanged.... Question: Is it still possible to buy an autochanger with a large spindle in the States, or does everyone now use an adaptor on a proper deck?

Esquivel stated in early interviews that "Other Worlds, Other Sounds" was recorded in 3 hours, and "Four Corners Of The World" was recorded in the 2 hours that was left in the time that had been booked. But, according to the sessionography documents that we were able to dig up in RCA's vaults last fall (thanks to Paul Williams),these sessions took place over a period of 5 days, not hours: i.e. "OW,OS" was actually recorded in 3 _days_, and "Four Corners....." was recorded in 2 days. Much of what is on "Four Corners....." is similar (and is probably the same charts) as Esquivel's "Piano Romantica" radio show, which was on XEW radio [Mexico City] nightly at 11PM for 15 minutes back in the 1950's; I've heard some tapes of this show, and it's very similar. Esquivel also performed this style at the Melody Room in Los Angeles in 1960, which were his first live engagements in the U.S. btw, I'm not accusing Juan of lying about his achievment; we must remember that he will be 80 years old next week, and that his memory of certain particulars, such as dates, is pretty fuzzy. And recording both of those albums in 5 days (done in two 3 hour sessions per day) is quite an accomplishment, indeed. br cleve # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 23:17:19 -0500 From: "m.ace" Subject: Re: (exotica) JGE's birthday > From: Br.

So basically, these comps beat Rhino's "Crime Jazz" sets by about 38 years! Are there many other examples where old comps parallel current comps? Which reminds me of this 1964 vintage comp I've previously mentioned: "Oldies By Various Artists" (Wyncote/Cameo-Parkway). Does anyone know when the term "oldies" came into vogue? With its emphasis on novelty sort of tunes, this album could be seen as a parallel to the "Incredibly Strange Music" or "Only In America" discs.

Chico Arnez and the Cubana Brass offer go-go Latin with groovy wordless female vocals. Ray Martin's crimey "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball" LP's also have very fetching wordless vocals throughout. There are some lovely kooky vocal bits on some Horst Jankowski too - like "Jankowski plays Jankowski". Then there's The New Classic Singers' debut (I think) with "Call me" on it.

As far as new turntables over here, there are various automatic, semi-automatic and manual varieties, but I think the "stacker" automatics are pretty much history. I guess we've all gotten too fussy about our records to take chances like that (I had a nasty stacker accident in my mid-teens and pretty much swore off that practice -- 2 or 3 albums scarred in one fell swoop, ouch). The current turntables generally include a little 45 adapter that sets over the lp spindle. As far as my memories of cheap stacker changers in the 70's, they usually included a tall 45 adapter which mated mechanically with the tall lp spindle.

Yes, Weller plays the sitar, apparently. It's been reissued already? I got mine when I was in London, circa winter 1995. It has an orange cover, and four versions including dance mixes sounds about right. The things that have never been cleared up for me are: 1. whether the song is a cover version of something older, maybe of 60s vintage, 2. whether "Mathar" ever released anything else. - -Jordana ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 14:43:32 -0500 From: Jonny.S@nyo.com (Jonny.S) Subject: Re: (exotica) Mathar - Indian Vibes Jordana Robinson,eero67@hotmail.com,internet writes: > >2. whether "Mathar" ever released anything else. > > >-Jordana I bought it about the same time in NYC but my copy has one mix of Mathar on one side and a track called what is jazz on the flip which is just a loop of a beat which breaks down to a long horn stap and a man asking "what is jazz?" (not this track) But Mathar is great, I play it often and the crowd keeps dancing.

It is a rather large system that has a fold down top. Speaking from experience if you go to vintage shops and thrift stores you can usually find either a stacking turntable or an adapter for 45's easily and rather cheap as well. zenara ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Email majordomo@xmission.com with "info exotica" in the message. # Postings must go to exotica@xmission.com -- replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 08:29:00 +1000 From: Wayne Davidson Subject: (exotica) The Gentle People There has been some interest in The Gentle People on this list over the past weeks, anyone keen to find out more should check out their web page at www.gentleworld.com Make sure to send them some email whilst you're there!

I've only heard Preston Epps doing "Bongo Rock". Judging by this track, it sure ain't R & B - it's more like Surf. I love Bongo Rock. A friend of mine has a party trick of drumming the intro to Wipeout onto a table - apparently all schoolkids learnt how to do this on their desks, but I must have missed out there - I thought I should challenge him to learn the frenetic drumming from Bongo Rock. Anyway, I asked a friend of mine who knows lots and lots of pop culture trivia about that horse who travels in a wheel. This must be really obscure because he didn't know anything about it, but he's got a question himself which he asked me to put to you lot (because he thinks you're all "walking encyclopedias" based on some of the info I've forwarded to him). OK, he wants to know if any of you remember a scarey kids' programme called "Knock Three Times". Apparently this is set in the Mayflower type era. Any takers? And an idle question: what's the best version of Caravan, in your opinion? I'm pretty fond of the one on Batchelor Pad Royale, myself. You can't fail with Caravan really. Hey, and all this moaning about Ultra Lounge ... Hell, those are the ONLY lounge/exotica reissues we get over here! So count yourselves lucky.

A few weeks ago I got this Metro (MGM's budget label) comp LP of 4 James Bond themes, 2 Peter Gunn cuts, and 4 Kenyon Hopkins tunes (Red Eyed Rats, the Chase, Monster Meeting, Chamber of Horrors). Are these KH cuts from "Nightmare!"? Thanks for any help, Jessica ^_^ PS--thought I'd share this with the list--a friend just gave me a little EP for this toy globe (billed as "Mr Globe--the FIRST TALKING GLOBE"). Anyway, it has great spacy sound effects, and in the background during the "our moon" segment you can hear David Rose's "Forbidden Planet!"
