Latin Lounge Lizards.......2001-09-25

There is more to latin lounge than Herb Alpert and the south of the border sound. The latin influence from various parts of South America -- especially Brazil -- was huge in the 50's and 60's because of its creative styling, exotic beat(s)and the many dance crazes it spawned (Mambo, Rumba, Cha-Cha, etc). This CD features two of the biggest hits of the era; The Girl from Ipanema and Guantanamera. Both are fondly and easily recollected, but this retrospective also introduces Xavier Cugat and Esquivel to the listener, along with Sergio Mendes and the Baja Marimba Band. The last two bands vied with senior Alpert for popularity in the mid-60's.

JUST PLAIN COOOOOOOOOOL........1999-09-01

I FOUND SONGS THAT I HAD NOT HEARD IN YEARS THAT BROUGHT BACK GREAT MEMORIES. YOU MUST CHECK OUT THE CAL TJADER CUT "SOUL SAUCE". GOOD THING IT'S ON CD INSTEAD OF TAPE, I WOULD HAVE WORN IT OUT ON THAT PARTICULAR SONG.

Lujon.......2006-05-23

Here is where the song "Lujon" (used last year to great effect) first appeared.

Mancini prided himself on his versatility and range. It is in full evidence here - and used as the soundtrack for a very forgettable TV series starring Ross Martin and John Vivyan (put those names in on Google and see what you get...).

Still, you gotta say that this was an amazing talent we had in Henry Mancini, and he is very much missed.

Mancini For Lucky Listeners..........2003-12-26

What we have here is a beautifully packaged French reissue of two classic Mancini LP's. The first, 'Mr. Lucky' is the brilliant and quirky music from the TV series of the same name. 'Goes Latin' only gives the 'Latin' treatment to the theme from 'Mr. Lucky', then goes off in it's own direction. In my opinion, the 'Latin' half is the real treasure, and the reason to buy this version instead of the plain 'Mr. Lucky' soundtrack (available elsewhere by itself.)

Of course, 'Mr. Lucky' has great cuts like the main theme, 'March Of The Cue Balls', and 'Chime Time', not to mention the eerie, beautiful and stunning 'Floating Pad' and the pointillistically insane 'Tipsy.' The 'Goes Latin' half really gets into some sonic gorgeousness, the kind that Mancini is known for and does best! 'Lujon', for instance, has a haunting sweeping string melody with some very cool downward chord changes. I think it's one of Mancini's classic cuts. 'Blue Mantilla' is another slow weeper, equally remarkable. And of course there's also Mancini's playful side, represented by cuts such as 'Rain Drops In Rio' or 'No-Cal Sugar Loaf'( ! )

Really. every cut on here is worthwhile for Mancini fans, lounge fans, or film music fans. These 'two-fer' reissues are worth what you pay, not only for the plethora of wonderful songs you get, but for the painstakingly reproduced liner notes, detailed lists of all the musicians, etc. Two lost treasures brought back to light!
