Playlist image Favoriting

Artist Track Album Label Year Format Comments Approx. start time
Ann Margret  Thirteen Men   Favoriting The Vivacious One  RCA  1962  MP3  "I had two guys every morning seeing that I was well fed, and believe you me, one sweetened my tea, while another one buttered my bread..."  0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Orchester Heinz Kiessling  That's Music   Favoriting That's Music!  Elite Special  1965  LP  Made in Switzerland  0:02:43 (Pop-up)
Plas Johnson  S'il Vous Plait   Favoriting This Must Be The Plas!  Capitol  1959  LP  "...who plays tenor ...plays baritone ...plays alto ...and plays them all just great!"  0:04:43 (Pop-up)
Dakota Staton  Give Me The Simple Life   Favoriting The Late, Late Show  Capitol  1957  LP  "Dakota's distinctive vocal stylings are sometimes blues-like with an unusual misty quality, sometimes swinging with a light, refreshing beat. In each performance, the Staton sound creates new meaning for familiar lyrics, turning old favorites into fresh and exciting musical experiences."  0:08:01 (Pop-up)
George Shearing  Simple Sideman   Favoriting The Fool On The Hill: The Latin Stylings of the Quintet and Quartet  Capitol  1969  LP  "For each arrangement is that special Shearing thing that's a sensuous experience, a romantic mood, a virtuoso performance–a sort of Latin interlude that makes this album so much more than just a phonograph record."  0:14:30 (Pop-up)
Johnny Smith  Walk, Don't Run   Favoriting     1954  MP3  Before The Ventures and before Chet Atkins...  0:16:04 (Pop-up)
Lenny Dee  I'm Beginning to See the Light   Favoriting Dee-Lirious!  Decca  1955  LP  "He can make the organ strum like a banjo, pulse with the beat of tom-toms, or sway with the sensuous rhythm of a rumba band. It is said that he can do literally anything with an electric Hammond Organ except one thing–he cannot be dull."  0:18:52 (Pop-up)
Enoch Light and The Light Brigade  Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps   Favoriting Provocative Percussion  Command  1959  LP  "Of special interest to the real connoisseur of intriguing sounds is the cohesion and compactness that is implicit in these performances. These qualities are the result of extensive experimenting and research. They also stem from the presence in the Command All-Stars of musicians of the highest calibre, brilliant technicians in every chair."  0:20:53 (Pop-up)
Edmundo Ros and His Orchestra  Granada   Favoriting Strings Latino  London  1968  LP  "Edmundo Ros is synonymous with the exotic Latin Beat... In this, his latest phase 4 stereo album, [he] adds the crowning touch to his already beautiful music; the subtle magic of strings."  0:23:30 (Pop-up)
Dúo Dinámico  Adán y Eva   Favoriting S/T  La Voz De Su Amo  1961  MP3    0:25:22 (Pop-up)
The Kai Winding Trombones (Featuring The Axidentals)  Flamingo   Favoriting S/T  Pickwick  1959  LP  "Kai Winding is to jazz what General Motors is to the automobile... His arrangements are remarkable for their swinging tempoes, their perfect lucidity and their variety of musical ideas. Kai's combo plays with a clean, flowing sound that avoids both the tired and trite riffs while, at the same time, not going way out on a limb into obscure experimentalism."  0:32:22 (Pop-up)
Bob Brookmeyer  Qual E O Po   Favoriting Trombone Jazz Samba  Verve  1962  LP  "Aside from his singular melodic imagination, Brookmeyer brings added zest to 'bossa nova' jazz by means of his remarkably diversified range of textures, his characteristic gusto in attack, and his persistently surprising wit."  0:34:33 (Pop-up)
Milt Raskin  Koko Head   Favoriting Kapu (Forbidden)  Eros  1959  LP  "Koko Head which is on the island of Oahu, was said to have been built by Pele, Goddess of the Volcanoes. Pele's last visit to Oahu occurred 10,000 years ago when a great crack opened at the east end of the Koolau mountain range. Koko Head (646 feet) was built from the lava which poured from this crack."  0:37:50 (Pop-up)
Trini Lopez  Lemon Tree   Favoriting The Folk Album  Reprise  1965  LP  "Facts and vital statistics are simple. Born: Dallas, May 15, 1937. Birth sign: Taurus. Height: 5'11". Weight: 150. Marital status: Available."  0:41:14 (Pop-up)
Harry Belafonte  Angelina   Favoriting Jump Up Calypso  RCA Victor  1961  LP  "It is Belafonte's rare genius as a performer and interpreter to be able to take the music of many cultures and locales and mold it and project it in a manner that will give it dramatic impact for a vast audience."  0:43:58 (Pop-up)
Freddy Fresh  Boyaca   Favoriting Surrounded By Funk  Howlin' Records  2007  MP3    0:51:03 (Pop-up)
The Electric Indian  Rain Dance   Favoriting Keem-O-Sabe  United Artists  1969  LP  "The Electric Indian is not history. It is the present and the future. The Indian combines a savage, pulsating, rhythm with some of the finest musicians around."  0:51:15 (Pop-up)
Original Tropicana Steel Band  Calypso Rock   Favoriting S/T  Polydor  1975  LP    0:53:16 (Pop-up)
Skeewiff  Comin' Home Baby   Favoriting Booty Shaker EP  Jalapeño  2003  MP3    0:56:32 (Pop-up)
Ted Heath and His Music  Hit the Road Jack   Favoriting POW!  London  1966  LP  "Ted has taken twelve standards, regarded previously as vocal standards, and arranged them for the big band. Keeping the same feeling as the original versions had, he has added his own touch and the results are striking. In fact, after hearing this album the listener will be amazed that he has not missed the vocal line. Actually, we seem to think that each song in this album has gained an added facet because of the Heath treatment it has received."  0:59:41 (Pop-up)

Josef Albers. There is a cool app I downloaded a few years ago where you can play around with his design elements. Not sure if it is still active or maintained.
