    Agreed! Do you know of any Latin jazz records from more recent decades that have taken an open room approach?

    That is an overlooked space-age bachelor pad gem, and I don't think it has made it to CD. It is overdue for a spin. I'll wait until I get my new EQ, which is being shipped. Is this the same Dick Grove who gives piano lessons on YouTube? From 1963. Kennedy is still president, and the Beatles had not yet @#$%ed everything up.

    When I used to DJ, "Ravi" was routinely featured in my Tantric Textures sets.

    Estudos by Baden Powell, on MPS.

    The close-miking technique works well for me with certain genres of 70s music, but not others. It works on Latin funk, for example. I would be interested to know of any more recent-ish Latin jazz records or producers using an open room sound.

    Does anyone else share my aversion to the close miking of Latin percussion that came into vogue by the mid-1970s or so? I much prefer the open room sound of percussion that is heard on Latin records from the 1950s and 60s. This has always been a stumbling block for me in checking out Latin records from more recent decades.

    It came out under two names. "Little Racer" is the name on the Jankowski album; I will have to check the KPM name. This was not unusual. For example, Les Baxter's GNP Crescendo album titled Africa Blue was released as a KPM album called Boogaloo in Brasil.

    Frank Hunter - White Goddess (Kapp, mono) Probably a casualty of the Universal fire.

    It's like those recordings are a real-life soundtrack to the real Los Angeles/Hollywood.
  10. Teasing the Korean
    Polynesia by Buddy Collette.

    I hope you were drinking rum cocktails with this one! NP: African Lament by Miriam Burton (Epic), with arrangements by a young Pat Williams.
  12. Teasing the Korean
    This very much echoes my feelings about the Innovations Orchestra 2-disc set, which I just wrote about a few posts up.

    Here is an MPS gem from Horst Jankowski: Nelson Riddle's MPS albums Communication and Changing Colors are masterpieces of the Now Sound. I hope they will be reissued: Here is a nice Bossa. The bridge is KILLER!!! Paging @Daniel A Here is a gorgeous tune that should have become a standard, "How Short is the Time to Love" by Jerry Van Rooyen. It is played here by Horst Jankowski.

    Like, "The Afro-Cuban Jazz Sweetest!" The second is more interesting, aside from the swing movement which I deleted from my custom version. It sounds old-fashioned, and it drags the rest of it down. I especially love the first two movements.
  15. Teasing the Korean
    Technicolor Paradise, Disc 2.
  16. Teasing the Korean
    I'm thinking about stuff such as: Chico O'Farrill The Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite The Second Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite Chico & Diz: The Manteca Suite Chico & Art Farmer' The Aztec Suite Shorty Rogers The Wuayacañanga Suite Perez Prado/Shorty Rogers Voodoo Suite SO... What do you think of these? The first two Chico O'Farrill suites that I listed are my favorites. These never get old, and I'm always finding new things in them. Apologies if I started this very same thread 10 years ago. I couldn't find it on the InterWebz.

    I have been listening to the 2-CD Innovations Orchestra set, with recordings dating from 1950-51. I realize now that this music perfectly captures the dichotomy between LA's seedy underbelly and its veneer of glitz and glamor. In so doing, the music works as a missing link between the dark orchestral scores of film noir and the urban jazzy scores that would later dominate the private eye genre.

    Dark Shadows was my one and only soap. Watched in real time as a kid, and then as an adult via the SciFi Network and DVDs. Pulling this back into the taxonomy part of the conversation, I file my Dark Shadows soundtrack LPs and CDs in the Space/Fantasy/Gothic/Macabre section.
  20. Teasing the Korean
    When I worked at a record store, I filed Jack Wagner, the soap opera star who had a mid-1980s hit with "All I Need," in the Wagner section in Classical.
  21. Teasing the Korean
    I see that the Tubster played on Lalo Schifrin's soundtrack to The Liquidator. I did not know that!
  22. Teasing the Korean
    Just curious. Some people can't understand why I would have a single artist filed in more than one section. Whatever works for the listener.
  23. Teasing the Korean
    Do you file the Dick Hyman Moog album in the Jazz or the Moog/electronic section?
  24. Teasing the Korean
    This. If arranging albums by colors of spines works for you, do it that way.
  25. Teasing the Korean
    I just listened to one of my Burried Treasures volumes, on which I had the good taste to include "Voodoo" by the Tubster.
