Recorded at The Big Bamboo
Nassau, Bahamas by The Big Bamboo Orchestra
Featuring Roy Shurland, Vocalist & Little Sparrow on the Steel Pan
Carib Folk Music
Carib LP 2015
1961
From the back cover: Contributing their natural talents based on their island origins and playing the instrument they know best are pianist John Clark, Bahamas; Fred Callender and Little Sparrow, Steel Pan of Trinidad; Tony Allen, Barbados. (A former Nassau police constable who composed "Junkanoo In Nassau" and sings his own composition in this album) Jack Roker, Guitar, Bahamas; Fred Burnett, Alto Pans, Bahamians Eric Roker and Lord Cody, Bongo Drums. This Calypso "little League Of Nations" is augmented by Sonny Johnson on the cowbell and his fabulous choral group, the Dolphins. Roy Shurland, the featured vocalist is a Jamaican whose remarkable versatility permits a change of pace from jump-up calypsos such as The Monkey Song and Gloria to beautifully haunting ballads like Yellow Bird and Kingston Market.
Without the splendid cooperation of your hosts Don Roberts and Jack Manns in providing their popular club "The Big Bamboo" for a studio, this album would have lost much of its authenticity. This beautiful room with its native atmosphere was a perfect setting and the performers were really "at home."

From the inside cover: The title number (Don recalls that the original tentative title was Spanish Blood) is a wild mix of Mexican flavoring, electronic effects, jazz improvisation, and sheer unadulterated excitement. "It evolves piece by piece," says Don, "with Roland Hanna in the center of it all, followed by Mike Brecker.
"I had an idea of overlaying a flamenco voice. Someone suggested Joan LaBarbara, who had been working with various experimental groups. She has the ability to create two notes at once – octaves, or an octave and a fifth simultaneously. She's amazing! So that added another dimension."

Dancing In The Dark
Carmen Cavallaro
The Poet Of The Piano
Decca Records DL 78961
1961
From Billboard - August 2, 1946 (A-441): It was his Dancing In The Dark piano folio, offered a half dozen years ago, that first attracted so much attention to Carmen Cavallaro. Since the maestro has gone a long way up the musical road since those early days, this new set of five records hits an easy merchandising mark. Dressed up with a new cover design that features the maestro's flash smile with an explanatory booklet added. Cavallaro re-creates his original click. With assist from his Steinway sparkle on the same 10 selections – Dancing In The Dark, Lover, Alone Together, Night And Day, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, If I Had You, Body And Soul, You're Mine You, Cocktails For Two and The Very Thought Of You, each an evergreen. While Cavallaro adds some frills and flourishes to his keyboarding for this repeat performance, he creates the same satisfying piano mood that make this disking an everlasting delight. For those who missed his original, this carbon copy is every bit as desirable.
From Billboard - August 7, 1961: The "Poet Of The Piano," Carmen Cavallaro, provides a very pleasant 30 minutes of listening and dancing music. Set includes such favorites as "The Very Thought Of You," "Lover," "You're Mine You" and the title tune "Dancing In The Dark." Cavallaro has many fans and this package should be one of their favorites. This is actually a newly recorded stereo version of material originally cut by the artist some years back.
From Billboard - October 22, 1955 (Decca DL 8120): Dancers, lovers and those who just plain admire a flawless piano technique will enjoy this newest Cavallaro package. A Dozen popular standards, commonly associated with the mood of romance, are given sparkling, bubbling treatment. Standard rhythm accompaniment keeps things moving nicely on the likes of "The Very Though Of You," "Cocktails For Two," "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and "Alone Together." while a string ensemble is moved in for others like "Falling In Love With You," and "September Song." Fine listening.

Co-Starring
Gordon and Sheila MacRae
Arranged & Conducted by Van Alexander
Produced by Voyle Gilmore
Capitol Records T1353
1960
From the back cover: This is the MacRae's first album together, and it captures the same charm and sparkle and carefree quality that make them one of the most sought after acts in night clubs and on television. Their choice of material here also serves to demonstrate that Gordon and Sheila know their way around the musical comedy stage.
Gordon's work, of course, is so well known that very little else can be said except that the quality of his rich, flexible baritone deepens with each new album; his interpretations are surer, more subtle, and more varied than ever.
Hearing Sheila for the first time on records, listeners will be pleased to discover a rare versatility combined with plenty of humor, as well as pleasing forthright diction. Furthermore, she is able to deliver a ditty like "My Baby Just Cares For Me" with a nice torch feeling that leaves no doubt as to why Baby should feel this way.
From Billboard - April 18, 1960: The real-life husband and wife team joined forces on wax for the first time with a varied line-up of items. MacRae warbles in his usual rich legit fashion on some great standards. His frau contributes a couple of her nitery mimic routines, plus a sock edition of "My Baby Just Cares For Me," and they duet pleasantly on a few sides, including the title tune, also released as a single. Solid jockey wax.
