Out Of This World
Les Baxter
Capitol T733
1956
From Billboard - October 27, 1956: Conductor Baxter has taken a group of great standards of a Latin flavor and, thru the use of lush strings and embellishments of harp and flute, has come up with a quality mood album for the pop market. The rhythms are generally subtle, and the tempo leisurely. The names of the tunes spell out the magic of Caribbean life. Included are "Taboo," "Temptation," "Poinciana," "Green Eyes," etc. Cover is an eye-catcher.
