Flight To Tokyo
HIFI Record R717
1959
From the back cover: Flight To Tokyo is an imaginative musical excursion by George Wright to one of the most fabulous cities of the Orient. George naturally is accompanied by the mighty 5 manual Wurlitzer console and by a Japanese cutie to act as his guide. Just twenty-two flying hours are between the U.S.A. west coast and Tokyo, dreamland of most American tourists. George Wright's fanciful flight takes place much more quickly, but is none the less exciting.
As before, George plays the 5 manual Wurlitzer theater pipe organ, mightiest Wurlitzer of them all. From the bewildering (to most) array of stop keys, combination pistons, levers, switches, push buttons and manual keys, George has invented new Oriental sounds of Tokyo with a few other startling ear ticklers thrown in just for fun.
Let your imagination travel to the land of Buddha, to the Palace Theater in Tokyo as George Wright plays for you the following, which are as Japanese as Chop Suey is Chinese.
