James Last - Around The World (1970)

James Last - Around The World (1970)

Polydor 2437-046

Every real friend of instrumental music should own this James-Last-Box, but it´s pretty rare and therefore very hard to find, especially in a good condition. It contains 3 LPs with one country on each side. That´s in fact 6 countries, Mr. Last has visited musically in 1970: Spain, Mexico, Russia, Italy, France and England. Is your home-country among them? Well, mine isn´t, but Hansi put out a few other LPs interpreting the music of Holland.... This box set resides way up there with a handful of other outstanding records he made, like "Well Kept Secret", "Voodoo Party", "Happyning", his version of "Hair" and many others. Just wait ´til you´ve heard his "Mambo no.5", "Kosaken-Patrouille" or his about 7.5-minute-version(!) of "Greensleeves". And now, sit back in your armchair and take the tour around the world with Sir Hansi and his Orchestra...

Manuel and the Music of the Mountains - Mountain Fire (1977)

Manuel - Mountain Fire

EMI-Studio 2 Stereo TWOX 1061

(1977)

For me, this is the best Manuel record ever, I've heard.

From beginning to end, the tracks are stunning and the arrangements are really beautiful.

Worth mentioning is the opening-track- Mountain Fire - a haunting melody, written by Geoff Love (=Manuel) himself. This melody will stay in your mind for days !!!

I'm afraid the cry for more Manuel records will even become louder after hearing this gem (...)

SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING (1961)

Recorded 16th, 17th, 18th October 1961

COLUMBIA CL 1733/CS 8533

This is the opportunity to hear Percy's instrumental enhancements of tunes from a Broadway's under-recognized musical. Jules Styne's "Subways Are For Sleeping" from 1961 is a collection of show-stopper tunes, melodies that can occupy your mind for days!

Percy Faith at the zenith of his arranging career.

Ray Conniff - Say It With Music (A Touch of Latin) 1960

Ray Conniff - Say It With Music (A Touch Of Latin)(1960)

CBS 62046

"Say it with Music" was somewhat of a departure for Ray in that he introduced his Latin-Flamenco guitar device with resounding success. these renditions prove Conniff's mettle as a skillful and innovative arranger. The sound is big band, the production values are impeccable, and the rhythms are infectious. One of Conniff's superior productions. Sidemen for this album include Billy Butterfield (his treatment of "Summertime" is incredibly beautiful) and Doc Severinsen on trumpet.
