I Only Have Eyes For You
America's Greatest Popular Guitarist
Tony Mottola
Producer: Enoch Light
Associate Producers: Tony Mottola and Jeff Hest
Arrangements: Tony Mottola
Project 3 PR 5094SD
1975
Budget set released after Enoch Light retired from the music business in 1974. Cheaply produced jacket with a sticker pasted over and replacing the Total Sound address on the back cover with the name and address of the "new" manufacture and distributor: "Seagull Enterprises".
Even though the entire project is "budget-minded" small combo lounge pop you are still treated to Mottola's amazingly clean, rich-sounding guitar work.

Jequibau
Mario Albanese
His Piano And Orchestra
Epic LN 24192
1965
From the back cover: Jequibau was created by pianist-composure Mario Albanese and Ciro Pereira, and it has been hailed by Brazil's most celebrated musicians and composers as one of the most exciting and important rhythms they've ever heard. Noted conductor Luis Arruda Paes cites the unusual 5/4 beat as "a fluent melodic sound, which one can hear and follow in a natural way, without contriving any strong beat."

Verve V6-5061
1968
From the back cover: Morgana King sings sotto voice but her impact registers on the seismograph at Cal Tel. She is, as the French say, "a friend of the heart."
The ingredients are there: the musical soul of her Sicilian heritage, early dramatic training; long and educating maturation as an artist; the minor key wail of Hebrew chants absorbed as if by osmosis from her nearness to a neighborhood synagogue; an ear-opening exposure to the rhythms and quiet style of South America; a life of highs of total acceptance and the soul-tearing lows of tragedy. All of these are in the interpretations of the songs she sings. She is, like all great singers, first and foremost an interpreter, a sensitive actress with the added, blessed lagniappe of a classic vocal instrument.
