Exciting Sounds Of Milt Raskin
Crown Records CLP 5110 1959
From Billboard Magazine, June 15th, 1959: Program music describing various Hawaiian legends inked by Johnny Mercer's partner. Raskin himself is heard on cocktail-style piano, celeste and bongo box. Four other percussionists take turn at 16 kinds of percussion instruments. For good measure, there are also bass, organ harp, flute and more. The exotic effects are employed, disk should be sold more for quiet listening and dancing than for sound.
I'm not sure what the reviewer meant by "sound".
This album is a great exotica and one of my favorites.
Great Exotica and the cover looks just alot like Taboo (which is among my FAVE Exotica's)
