Latin ala Lee! - Peggy Lee

Hey There
Latin ala Lee!
Broadway Hits Styled With An Afro-Cuban Beat
Produced by Dave Cavanaugh
Capitol Records STEREO ST 1290
1960

From the back cover: The genuine Afro-Cuban sound of Jack Marshall's orchestral backing is no mere accident. The fine Latin instrumentalists who perform on this album were gathered from the vast pool of musical talent in the Los Angeles area, and they succeed in giving these great arrangements an authentic South of the Border flavor. Trumpets, guitars, and an agile flute section create some really exciting effects, and all tracks feature the solid backing of four Afro-Cuban drummers, allowing Peggy to relax against the staunch rhythm contingent and concentrate her emotional fire on the musical and lyrical challenges present. The tasteful use of male voices creates still another fine background effect that helps to provide a melodic magic carpet for this trip from Broadway to Latin America.
