Teasing the Korean

It is also the title of a great Barouh film shot in Brazil. Now playing: Babs Gonzales - Tales of Manhattan - Jaro (mono)

Well, I don't know what it means by being here, but it is. With my wife's name, no less. She gets all the credit!

Is this the one that begins with Chala Nata from Maynard and ends with Paul Mauriat? That's the one! Is it now legitimately available?

I put together an eastern-tinged jazz/EZ compilation called "Tantric Textures" that included tracks from various LPs and CDs. I never entered the artists or tracks titles when I burned it. It circulated only among a few friends. A few years later, I pulled it out and plunked it into iTunes. The track titles, album name, and artists all showed up. Obviously, someone took the time to enter the information and Big Brother remembered it all. A little scary but kind of cool at the same time!

Any relation to Saravah Samba?

Of these, I am familiar with only Brigitte Fontaine. What is the Saravah label? Have you ever seen the film Saravah Samba?

It's very Shakespearean, isn't it?

What's the verdict?

Lionel Hampton - STOP! I Don't Need No Sympathy - Brunswick (stereo) Hamp gets hip to the sounds, moods and feelings of today!

Bobby Christian - STOP! It's Time for Bobby Christian - M.A.L. (stereo)

STILL listening to the 3-disc set. God this is great music, alternating between scary, ominous and poignant. Dominic Frontiere rules! For Christmas I got the first season of the show on DVD. It's fun to hear how this music worked in the episodes that I never saw, like "The Architects of Fear."

CS&N albums feature at least three burnouts.

Sounds interesting! Also sounds like something I'd like. I've been through the first two of the three discs. There is some overlap between this and the 4-CD "Popular Electronics" which features Raaijmakers along with other composers like Tom Dissevelt. Truth be told, of what I've spun so far, the best stuff is on the "Popular Electronics" set, based on one listen at least. If you don't already have it, I would recommend "Popular Electronics" before springing for this. Just the opinion of one guy who likes abstract bloops and bleeps.

For Christmas I got the 3-CD set "The Complete Electronic Music of Dick Raaijmakers" on Basta. Great stuff.

What is this like? Very nice. First side is the 'Latin Laleidoscope' suite by Gary McFarland. Side 2 has charts by Boland. Lots of fiery brass work and hot latin rhythms. Is it in print??? I'm a total G McF Freeeek! Now Playing: Jerry Goldsmith - Logan's Run OST - MGM (blue and gold label). Stan Getz and Chick Corea - Verve (stereo) - half of a 70s twofer reissue.

What is this like?

I agree with this, but it does feel voyeuristic and creepy to listen to someone getting murdered. At least on the news they could forewarn viewers/listeners. This happens sometimes but not always.

There's the Rocky and Bullwinkle where Boris and Natasha have kidnapped our heroes and they're playing in their jazz band, which is a front for whatever evil deed they're up to in that episode. Rocky says to Bulliwinkle at a certain point, "Come on, Bullwinkle, here's our chance to escape!" to which Bullwinkle replies, "Not now, Rocky, I've got an arrangement coming up in the next set." The narrator (William Conrad) references "Four Brothers" at some point in the episode. If anyone can find this on Youtube, I'd love to see it again.

On a Raymond Chandler kick. Recently finished The Big Sleep, Lady in the Lake, and The Little Sister. Now I'm reading The Long Goodbye.

WHILKS-ber-ree

If it's any consolation, I unloaded all those "Provocative Percussion" albums ages ago. But I hung onto "Permissive Polyphonics," of course!

I thought this was an Enoch Light album on Command!

Agreed.
