The Sound Of Gypsy Music - Dick Kesner

The Sound Of Gypsy Music
Dick Kesner
His Magic Stradivarius And Orchestra
Coral Records
CRL 757376

The set is available from online vendors so I will not be posting a sample.

Kesner made a number of terrific space age pop albums when he wasn't working for Lawrence Welk. This is a fine example of his mixing "traditional" with period pop "inventions" to create a lively and interesting blend of music.

"Gypsy" co-written by Kesner and Charles Dant is a standout track.

Also check out Kesner's Amor Latino.
