Fly Me To The Sun - Les Reed

Poinciana
Fly Me To The Sun
Les Reed And His Orchestra
Deram DES 18007
1967

From the back cover: This album springs from a recent stay in South America. Listening to the fascinating rhythms to be heard in Brazil, combining this first-hand experience with his pervious enthusiasm for the best in pop songs, and using his gift for writing for string so that they sound fresh but emotional, Les Reed has created a series of arrangements in which atmosphere and good taste combine with good humor and sheer get-up-and-dance enchantment.
