The Peanut Vendor
Hugo Montenegro And His Orchestra
Time Records S/2176
This album is a reissue of Bongs And Brass (Time 2014) released in 1960. It's possible that this is the stereo release.
Montenegro is one of my favorite composers who is a genius at crafting tunes with enough surprises to keep you in the groove. He was also an innovator with the moog, influencing future generations of synth artists.
This album is a bend of jazz, bachelor pad and the ping-pong, a percussion fad that Enoch Light unleashed on the world. "Ping-pong" meaning bouncing sounds, very often and in this case bongos, from one channel to another. This is a great example of the many records created after this sound. Great engineering on this Time release. Cool space age stuff.
Musicians on the album include Doc Serverisen and Al Caiola.
OH YES. this is most magical and I will be looking for it!! XO
