It's a spoken word album, with Jim reciting homespun sort-of-verse stories over smooth countrypolitan orchestra & wordless chorus backing (production by Chet Atkins). He occasionaly croons a line or two. Titles include: "Trouble In The Amen Corner" -- the church choir objects to old Brother Ira's aged and cracked singing voice. Ira gets sad and dies. "The Gun" -- a jilted man's desire for revenge eventually turns to pity. "Too Many Parties And Too Many Pals" -- you can imagine. "Old Tige" -- a genuine shaggy dog story... and more sadness and death. "Men With Broken Hearts" -- "You'll meet many like me, on life's busy streets..." Think of a wholesome Tom Waits.

A Jayne Mansfield flick called "The Girl Can?t Help It". Had Julie London and a terrific looking Abbey Lincoln singing in it. Talking about kids, I can?t seem to get a reaction to the music from my 4 year old daughter Geneva. Although today my wife Carol tried to get Geneva singing to a song on the radio. The song was "Daddy". Julie London and Pat Suzuki have sung it. The girl is singing about wanting jewelry, cars and furs. Well, Geneva would not sing along so she tried to get her to sing about Barbie stuff. Something like "Daddy" I want a Barbie car, jewelry, everything. Still no singing. Just laughing. Ah well. Speaking of kids and music. Found a couple of nearly mint Disney records. Alice in Wonderland with a record cover doubling as a book. Has a die cut out in the front. The Barbi soundtrack, and the Aristocats. I was very excited about the Aristocats. I hadn?t seen the movie it years, since I was a kid, but Carol told me I would like the music in it and she showed me the scene in the movie called "Let?s Get in Line" with the geese getting the cats walking in a line to Paris. The music had a "Baby Elephant Walk" quality to it. Snatched the record when I saw a picture of the scene "Let?s Get in Line" on the back and it?s not in the record! On closer inspection the record is called"The Aristocats and other songs about Cats" or something like that. Still a good record with a cut of Louie Prima doing "That Darn Cat" from the movie I guess. Over the weekend we watched "the Great Mouse Detective" score by Henry Mancini.

Not sure about their other artists, but this is the label with Combustible Edison. If you don't have all their CDs, you can get a sample at customdisc.com and even include some of the cuts on a CD you build yourself from their available recordings. I sort of like this service, although it is pricey. Cost is usually a dollar a song and you have a 70 minute limit (of course). There is also an additional 6 dollar fee tacked on. If you get a special discount (and they often make them), it can get slightly more reasonable. My main concern is the lack of available artists and selections. However, I just put together my fifth CD of this sort (two on customdisc.com and three on musicmaker.com) thanks to the new available cuts from CE. Les Baxter is also represented with cuts from a couple of albums on customdisc.com. You can find Ferrante and Teicher on musicmaker.com.

Times -- Thursday, March 2, 2000 George Duning; Prolific Film Composer By MYRNA OLIVER, Times Staff Writer George Duning, a prolific composer of music for television and motion pictures who was nominated for Academy Awards five times, has died at the age of 92. Duning, who scored such classic films as "From Here to Eternity" and "Picnic," died Sunday at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego of cardiovascular disease. The former jazz trumpeter was nominated for Oscars for those two films in 1953 and 1955, respectively. He also was nominated for "Jolson Sings Again" in 1949, two years after he began his contract with Columbia Pictures; for "No Sad Songs for Me" in 1950; and for "The Eddy Duchin Story" in 1956. During his 15 years with Columbia, Duning composed music for about half a dozen motion pictures a year. Among them were "Let No Man Write My Epitaph," "My Sister Eileen," "3:10 to Yuma," "Houseboat," "That Touch of Mink" and "Bell, Book and Candle." Duning also composed extensively for television series, including "The Big Valley," "Alcoa-Goodyear City Theatre," "Naked City" and "Star Trek." He wound up his long career as musical director of Aaron Spelling Productions. Top-quality music in movies and television shows, he often said, helped upgrade the public's taste in music. And he made no secret of his disdain for the rock 'n' roll that emerged during his most productive years. "Rock 'n' roll is a phonied-up, made-to-order fad," Duning told The Times in a 1960 interview. "And disc jockeys do a disservice to the kids by playing it." He admitted at the time that his own teenage daughters played rock 'n' roll records in his home. But he said his hopes that their tastes would change were raised when one daughter heard Duke Ellington on the radio, thought he was a new musician and rated him "great." If Elvis Presley had never earned Duning's musical appreciation, Ellington always did. Duning's own career began with jazz. Born in Richmond, Ind., a center for early jazz recording, Duning grew up hearing music. His father was a conductor and sang in oratorios, and his mother gave organ and piano lessons. He studied music theory at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and studied composition with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Duning started his own band at age 15, and after college joined various jazz bands as a trumpeter. He also played with marching bands and concert bands. In the 1930s, Duning got his initial career boost when he was hired as musical director of the radio game show "Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge." In 1939, when Kyser signed with RKO to do a series of films, Duning went along as musical arranger. The work was interrupted by World War II, which put Duning in the Navy as conductor and arranger for the Armed Forces Radio Service. Throughout his Hollywood career, Duning worked in musicians' organizations. He served on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers from 1972 to 1985 and as the organization's vice president from 1978 to 1979. He also served on the board of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Duning earned a career achievement award from the Society for Preservation of Film Music in 1987, and was named Indiana Composer of the Year in 1993. He also won awards from the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. and Downbeat magazine. He is survived by his wife, Lois, of Borrego Springs, Calif., and La Jolla; two daughters, Kathleen Frankeberger and Patricia Brayton of Port Townsend, Wash.; a brother, LeRoy Duning of Lebanon, Ohio; five grandchildren; and two stepchildren. - -------- *Begona Palacios MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Begona Palacios, an actress who was the wife of the late film maverick Sam Peckinpah, died Wednesday of a liver malfunction. She was 58. Palacios met Peckinpah while starring in B films in Hollywood in the early 1960s. She was best known in Mexico for action movies such as ``The Saint Against the Strangler,'' and ``The Saint Against the Ghost of the Strangler,'' both filmed in 1963. Last year, she starred in the Mexican soap opera, ``La Chacala.'' - ------ Leni Riefenstahl The German filmmaker/photographer and perennial "but she died years ago!" case was in a helicopter that crashed while attempting an emergency landing on Tuesday in Sudan,and has now been transported to a hospital in Germany suffering from broken ribs and bronchitis.She is said to be weak but doing well in the circumstances,no idea what the prognosis is.

My name's Brad Ross-MacLeod. I'm 34, married (with my first baby due next week), living in the very un-cool central Pennsylvania (a Philly transplant). I used to teach college (communication), among other pursuits. I will in the near future be a stay-at-home dad which I'm really looking forward to. As for music, lounge/exotica/etc. is part of my musical interest. I have way too many cds to mention and I'm sure my tastes will filter out as you get to know me.... My real introduction to lounge was the Hollyridge Strings Christmas album which my parents had when we were kids. It worked its way into my subconscious over the years. (I still have it, and as it's impossible to find I transferred it to CD-R this year and am now happy as can be...). A few years ago I mentioned in passing on another (unrelated) music list that I was getting into lounge. Well, a friend of mine on the list who worked at BMG distribution sent me the entire Ultra-Lounge series (plus the Denny, Gleason, and Baxter double cd sets). Needless to say, it was a great gift.... I'm starting to explore some of the new electronica artists who sample and use exotica records as sources and inspiration (Fantastic Plastic Machine, Cornelius, Pizzicato Five, etc.). Any recommendations here would be helpful. As would any exotica stuff that makes good music for babies.... Hope to get to know you....

I >have way too many cds to mention and I'm sure my tastes will filter out as >you get to know me.... My own tastes in Exotica are not quite as wide and varied as most on this list; however, I do enjoy most of what falls into the instrumental "easy listening" category with special emphasis on people like Henry Mancini & Burt Bacharach (which is the music I grew up with and heard while at home and whose works I also played in high school band, for the most part). The "other" part of me (which, I'll admit, is the part that is dominant!) is solid Brazilian and Bossa Nova related with emphasis on people like The Gilbertos, Tom Jobim, Laurindo Almeida, Luis Bonfa, and Brazil's No. 1 Organist!

Any recommendations here would >be helpful. As would any exotica stuff that makes good music for babies.... Welcome aboard Brad and prepare for a busy first year of baby-hood. Don't forget to make plenty of soothing sounds for him/her. As for the new artists using EZ samples, I am exploring that terrain at present. Start off with "Ursula 1000". Its just what the doctor prescribed. I don't know where you can get it these days, but I found mine at Cutler's Records in New Haven. It was the "last" one. Follow that one up with "Kinky Beats" which you can get from Other Music (http://www.othermusic.com) or call them at 212-477-8150. They say they are working on getting an 800 number. Also try some of the Italian E-Z tempo remixes, particularly the ones by Piero Piccioni. They are fantastic. Dusty Groove has them still I think (http://www.dustygroove.com) 1-888-DUSTYGR. They also have the "Bob E Helen" remix by Piero Umiliani which isn't bad either. And finally, if you can still find it, see if you can get "Its Doopie Time" by The Doopies. The track "Doopie Time" is, IMHO, sheer Japanese sampling brilliance. They cobble together several TV themes and make it very danceable. Others on this list should be able to supply you with other titles to seek, Brian and Cheryl in Canada, and Brother Cleve in Boston. Enjoy the ride, its a great digest.

So I only have one so far: "Parkland Elementary Band Spring Concert -- May 4, 1978" It teased me with titles like "Cha-Cha Rock" and "Minuet Rock" (a Bach adaptation), which unfortunately turned out to be a bit disappointing ("Cha-Cha Rock" is neither Latin nor rocking, just relentless in its simplicity). However, "Apollo XI March" more than makes up for them, with slightly exotic, minor key lines. Despite the space-age title, it has a Hollywood Bible epic sound. "Rock Of Gibraltar", which features the brass ensemble & drums, is also fun. I think the band (which sounds fairly large) is pretty darned good for elementary school kids. It has the usual cautious rhythmic feel, slightly wobbly here and there... some off-pitch strings on higher passages... a stray clarinet occasionally lets out a honk. But nothing too hideous. Nice job, kids. Any other stories to tell? Anyone with their OWN school band records still on hand?

Yes, I still have mine and it's the only school band album I own (though I have seen LOTS of others for sale at used record stores). Mine is "The Cardinal O'Hara High School Band, (Springfield, PA), At The Philadelphia Civic Center" (1970). This was made when I was in junior (3rd) yr. there. The pieces selected for the album definitely reflect the times & what was popular--that's for sure. A sample of what's on the LP includes: Henry Mancini's "Swing March", Burt Bacharach's Suite from "Promises, Promises", also "The Look of Love", "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head". Also the Finale from the Overture of the Broadway Show "1776", "Sun City", "Sleeping Beauty", and of course the h.s. alma mater/school song. I won't bore you with the liner notes on the back as they are just a history of the school's music department and who was the band director during what years. I never really thought of school band records as "Exotica", but then again, I don't know where else you would classify them, either!

Don't panic yet, CK. I haven't received the latest ish yet myself. It's one of the advantages of living in Brooklyn - the PO saves the best for last! Basically, Dana figures that by the time I get my copy, everyone everywhere else has already gotten theirs, and that's his cue to start writing and distributing promo copy. > >anyway, this (school band) is a collecting area for me. it is, frankly, one of the >richest and most rewarding areas of collecting (yes, i'm that strange). > Add my name to the list of School band LP collectors. I also collect summer camp Color War LPs, and Drum&Bugle Corps LPs. Don't pass up any D&B records you may find - they fetch good size $$ from the small but serious group of D&B afficienados. - -Lou # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2000 01:24:25 EST From: LTepedino@aol.com Subject: (exotica) The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" and Exotica connection Well before the Ultra Lounge series ever came out, Irwin Chusid came up with the idea to put together a series of CDs that would highlight what would later become dubed "lounge music." Irwin came up with the idea for the seies just after the first "Incredibly Strange Music" CD was released. Unfortunatley due to some foot dragging with respect to licensing masters from the third party source enlisted (that was out of Irwin's and my contriol) this series never materialised. One CD in this proposed series was to be composed entirely of "exotica" music. Interestingly enough, Irwin had picked the very exotic instrumental track "Let's Go Away For A While" from the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" album as a fine example of "exotica" coming from a surprsing source not associated with this style of music. Irwin mentioned that it was his plan in the liner notes to mention that it was very likely Brian Wilson's father, Murray Wilson who may have at one point in Brian's musical education exposed Brian to the music of Martin Denny and thereby influenced the composition and arrangment of this track. Due to the popularity of Denny's albums this seems hardly a questionable assumption that one if not more of Denny's albums resided in the record cabinet ogf the Wilson household. Well you can imagine my pleasant surprise that while exploring the 4 CD "Pet Sounds" box set earlier this evening I discovered in the sessions personel listing that it was in fact Martin Denny's vibe player Julius Wechter who in fact plays the vibes on "Let's Go Away For A While." Not only that, but Wechter also provides percussion touches on other "Pet Sounds" album tracks: "You Still Believe In Me" (the finger cymbals) and "I Know There's An Answer" (tambourine). What a fascinating family tree this makes! # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 05 Mar 2000 19:29:20 +1100 From: Philip Jackson Subject: Re: (exotica) school band records on 5/3/00 8:10 AM, m.ace at ecam@voicenet.com wrote: > > Inspired by the article in the latest issue of Cool And Strange Music, does > anyone want to testify on school band records? > Any other stories to tell? Anyone with their OWN school band records still > on hand? I often regret that I don't have any recordings of the school band I was in back in the late '60's. Our conductor was a famous trumpet player in Australia and arranged for us tunes like Caravan, El Cumbanchero etc. I'm sure we murdered them beautifuly. However, the other day I found a copy of a record he had made in the '50's "The Fabulous Trumpets of the Victorian Trumpet Trio". On the back - his name in his own handwriting (I remember his curly capitals) - not autographed for somone but his personal copy. When I took it to the counter and told the guy it was by my old trumpet teacher he had a look and it turns out he had been taught by another member of the trio on the lp! Not a bad record either. Virtuosic performances of El Relicario, Cumana, Sabre Dance, Ritual Fire Dance etc. Philip - no longer blowing his own horn. - -- # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #640 *****************************
