This is badtastical lounge record. Each track is more badtastical than the next.

Penthouse Serenade - Jay Gordon Orchestra

The Breeze And I

Penthouse Serenade
The Jay Gordon Concert Orchestra
Tops L1557
1957

This album features standard big band easy arrangements for the period. However the violin heard on the exotica staple tune, The Breeze And I, makes for an interesting sample.

Murmurio (Murmur Of Love) - Walter Wanderley

Samba On The Beach

Murmurio (Murmur Of Love)
Walter Wanderley
Tower T5058
1967

Here's another great Wanderley album I stumbled across that doesn't appear to be available for purchase/download. See Brazilian Blend for my first Wanderley post.

From the back cover: And now the newest delight to reach these shores from Rio: the deft, light, billowing, silken sounds of Walter Wanderley at the organ.

That pretty much says it all.

This, the more obscure, follow LP up to Blue Mist features a nice cheesecake cover. Nice early space age arrangements are backed by those great choral ooohhhs and aaahhhs.

Dick Kesner's Golden Favorites

Amor

Dick Kesner's Golden Favorites
Golden Favorites
Coral Records
CRL 757435

Dick Kesner's Golden Favorites means Coral repacked tracks from other Kesner projects including The Music Of Hawaii and Amor Latino. This makes for an uneven presentation but you do get to hear some of the cooler space age Kesner tunes.

Kesner was best known for his work on the Lawrence Welk Show.
