garthsj Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I would like to know what "jazz kitsch" you secretly have enjoyed over the years. Stuff like those Jackie Gleason albums with Bobby Hackett, or George Shearing's "White Satin" ... or Martin Denny's "Exotic Sounds" .. complete with bird calls ... "Tiki Music" ... Go for it gang! Confession is good for the soul! In my case I had/have a great fondness for a series of albums that the pianist Paul Smith did for Capitol called "Liquid Sounds" ... I have never been able to find those in CD format ... anyone else a fan of this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfricaBrass Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'm nuts for the exotica stuff. Martin Denny, Les Baxter, etc... I love the Jackie Gleason albums. Years ago, I used to frequent thrift stores, and because of that I have a great collection of easy listening records from the fifties. One of my favorite albums is Eden's Island by Eden Ahbez (the composer of Nature Boy). I guess you could say I was bit by the lounge bug in the 90's. There were a couple books I really enjoyed about this stuff back then. They were ReSearch's Incredibly Strange Music Volumes 1 and 2.

mjzee Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I like Earl Klugh's LP "Magic In Your Eyes." Sort of an acoustic jazz/disco fusion, but very sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I like Earl Klugh's LP "Magic In Your Eyes." Sort of an acoustic jazz/disco fusion, but very sweet. Really? when I worked at a light adult contemporary station and spun Earl Klugh instrumentals, I always wanted to backannounce him as "Earl Klugh-less".

CJ Shearn Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) Michael Franks and Keiko Matsui. I love the 2 CD Rhino anthology and "A Rainy Night in Tokyo". Steve Gadd, ooooh Edited February 16, 2005 by CJ Shearn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalo Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I just got Gary McFarland's Does the Sun Really Shine on the Moon? and I keep on listening to it, despite the fact that my conscious mind tells me it's only a few steps removed from Muzak. Also, I retain a guilty affection for Michael Franks's "Popsicle Toes," though I have never owned a copy of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
