BruceH Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 What I've always found interesting about Esquivel's music is that he's from Mexico, yet his music distills that whole postwar American futuristic optimism vibe more perfectly than any of his US contemporaries. Good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Dickey Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 The Three Sun's lp "Swingin' on a star" is my very fave of all their rca material. King Curtis swings and honks and does some nice ballads on this one. Great lp cover, too, a guy and gal on a flying carpet, if I recall. I think Esquivel and The Three Sun's were both great, and definately not a "Guilty pleasure" As for my deep admiration for the antics of the Kirby Stone 4, well..........

Teasing the Korean Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 This weekend I uploaded all of my Esquivel CDs into iTunes and have been listening non-stop. After you eliminate duplicated tracks, both the Bar None, Cabaret Manana, Warner/Reprise album, and stray tracks on "History of Space Age Pop" fit onto TWO CDs. Perfection.

six string Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 The only album I have by Esquivel is Out of This World. I love the cover and the music is pretty interesting too. A friend sold it to me for a couple of bucks and I'm pretty sure it's a first pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 It's like the Bob Graettinger zygote split in the womb & Esquivel got all the humor, Graettinger all the seriousness and there was enough brass to go around for both.

Teasing the Korean Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 It's like the Bob Graettinger zygote split in the womb & Esquivel got all the humor, Graettinger all the seriousness and there was enough brass to go around for both. That is by far the funniest post here that I missed for four years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted November 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Lately I have been obsessed with Esquivel's version of "So Rare." It is very restrained by Esquivel standards. Take three minutes out of your life and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
