George Shearing —
Latin Lace ... LP Capitol, 1958. Near Mint- ... $4.99
One of George Shearing's wonderful Latin LPs for Capitol – a wonderful record filled with complicated changes that go way beyond the usual mambo and cha cha grooves – and a mix of vibes, piano, and percussion that went onto inspire countless other groups at the time! The tracks have a ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Johnny Richards —
Wide Range ... LP Capitol, 1957. Near Mint- ... $3.99
A killer album from Johnny Richards – possibly the best he ever cut! The album sparkles with all the intensity he brought to Stan Kenton's Cuban Fire album – with bits of Latin, jazz, and some of the modernist scoring that Kenton, Richards, and Pete Rugolo were using at the time. ...

Marty Gold —
Wired For Sound ... LP Vik, 1956. Very Good+ ... $4.99
"Current Supplied By Marty Gold" – or so reads the cover – as this is one of Gold's most dynamic albums of the 50s! The production is really great, with lots of use of effects and echo – to transform ordinary instrumental tunes into mod hi-fi affairs! The feel here is ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Coral, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Decca, 1959. Very Good+ ... $3.99
The frenzied piano of Carmen Cavallaro gets a nice does of Latin rhythms on this set – and the set's a great example of the way that cocktail piano and Latin were strongly linked in the New York scene of the 50s! Carmen's style here is certainly different than that of Joe Loco, Noro Morales, ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Reprise, Early 60s. Very Good- ... $4.99
What a great combination – the Latin piano of Eddie Cano and the magical compositions of Henry Mancini! Eddie's working here with a small combo that includes bass, drums, and conga – and he starts out slow and moody with Mancini's music, then starts kicking it up with that heavy-groovin ...

Music for lovers – and some languid lovers at that – thanks to some perfect mellow moods set by Jackie Gleason!

RCA/Vik, 1957. Near Mint- ... $3.99
An obscure early gem from Neal Hefti – an amazing set of jazzy tracks, arranged with a style that's similar to some of his better soundtrack work of the 60s! The group on the album's a tentet – with 2 trumpets, trombone, reeds, guitar, bass, and lots of percussion – and Neal's at ... (Jazz, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

RCA, 1971. Very Good ... $2.99
An early 70s concert from Henry Mancini – one that follows in the same format of his 60s albums in the same mode, by offering up a larger orchestral take on all the cool, groovy elements that make Mancini's music so great! Most numbers here are larger extrapolations from different sources ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
United Artists, Late 60s. Very Good ... $4.99
A really wonderful record by them. Not totally messed up, like the earlier prepared piano and tape-trick LPs, but a beautiful moody instrumental LP, with the great version of the soundtrack theme as the title cut, plus "Popi", "Sacarborough Fair", "Windmills of Your ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lovely late nite Mancini! The album has Mr. M's tinkling piano set amidst dark moody arrangements that bank the piano in warm washes of strings and light lilting rhythms – all moving at a slow somber pace that's perfect for a summer night with the lights down low, the windows open, relaxing ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Liberty, Late 50s. Good+ ... $2.99
An undisputed classic in the exotica genre – and the record that yielded Martin Denny his biggest hit!

Sam Butera and the Witnesses are mostly heard backing up Louie Prima, and we're not sure how they managed to hook up with Sammy, but the result is a great set of tracks that has a lot more "umph!" than some of Sammy's other Reprise sides. The group is tight and jazzy, and even though the ... (Vocalists, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Goodnight Sweetheart is a great album of languid love tunes – all instrumental, and mixed with string and woodwind presentation that are all very much in the best lush style that Morton Gould forged in the 50s – but with some slight adult, sophisticated elements that really live up to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Warner, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
This hip comedian from the early 60's did routines that involved sound effects with commentary. This album's got a bunch of short goofy tracks that, although not exactly in the Ken Nordine vein, still have the same love of sound gags that he did. (Comedy/Spoken, Now Sound) LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing.)
RCA, 1964. Very Good+ ... $0.99
Henry Mancini takes it to the next level – working with larger orchestrations than usual, in an expansion of his usual 60s groove!

MPS, 1975. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Possibly the grooviest of many groovy albums that the Singers Unlimited cut for MPS – largely because of some great arrangements by Pat Williams! Pat gives the group a nice little zip – with some large jazzy arrangements that aren't too goofy, and which work well with their perfect ... (Vocalists, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Capitol, Early 50s. Very Good- ... $4.99
The notes say that the album is "the rare plum of authenticity". We don't know if we'd go that far, but we can tell you that the record features Yma performing songs of the legendary Jivaro headhunters! Supposedly, Yma learned them in her "South American jungle-home", but we ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mercury, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $0.99
The grand piano in the hands of the maestro – the great Horst Jankowski, an artist who took the instrument from the concert hall to the AM radio in the 60s! The album's got Jankowksi playing in this nicely punctuated style – a deftness of fingerskills that points towards a more serious ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

RCA, 1959. Very Good+ ... $3.99
Perez turns his popular Latin sound to some even more popular 50s compositions – and even if it's not enough to swing the kids at the jukebox on the cover of the record, there's still some nice lively Latiny moments. Titles include "Isle Of Capri", "Three Little Words", ... (Latin, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mega, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $1.99
A real treat for the 2001 generation! Apollo 100 takes Bach's "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring", and gives is a jazzy electric keyboard reading – kind of a perfect bit of fluffy pop for a generation that was already digging the classical/easy experiments of the Swingle Singers and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

RCA/Victor, 1969. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Pre-moog work from Hugo Montenegro – but a set that's still pretty darn groovy! The Beach Boys reference in the title is very well put, as Hugo's using some cool harmony vocals for the record – a chorus that definitely takes some of its inspiration from Brian Wilson, singing here both ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mexican stereo pressing.)
Calla, Late 60s. Very Good ... $3.99
Very groovy work from arranger Larry Page – a set that's a bit jazz, a bit easy, and plenty darn groovy throughout! The Larry Page sound is built upon a stepping rhythm, a snakey sax, and a sweet female vocal – used wordlessly in a way that drifts through the fuller grooves of the ...

Liberty, 1968. Near Mint- ... $4.99
One of the best late 60s albums by the Ventures – a lot more hard-wailing than usual – and done with a fair bit of influence from funk and soul music too! The title cut gives the album away nicely – as it's a cover of Cliff Nobles' classic funky 45 "The Horse", done ... (Rock, Now Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Groovy LP of swinging big band tracks, cut by Hugo Montenegro before he moved to RCA, and began a highly successful career in soundtracks and easy material.

RCA, 1960. Very Good ... $3.99
Chorus vocals and jazzy orchestrations – a real standout from the classic HiFi years at RCA, and the kind of a set that makes us say "Mmmmm . . . Nice!"
