Jungle Fantasy
Living Percussion
Camden RCA CAS-2255
1969
Why is this... sort of "budget" record... so amazing? Well, the "Living" series album producer, Ethel Gabriel teamed up some of the 60s best mood music/session artists to produce a number of excellent easy listening pop concepts. On closer inspection, if you read the jacket notes, you'll find that Dick Hyman (on loan from Command) arranged the pieces and Phil Kraus, one of the most creative studio percussionists of the period conducted the set.
Good stuff.

ReplyDeleteGreat blog Mark!
Your blog rocks, man!!! I'm still missing if there is a chance to download the full album, anywhere. I mean, I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteThank you, but I very seldom post full albums, only samples, for a variety of reasons. I know this drives some folks nuts. Sorry.
