Viva Merengue - Nico Gomez (Omega)

This highly collectible Nico release was top of my wish list for a while when I managed to find a copy for sale and, after much hassle, it finally came my way. It is firmly established as my favourite album in this collection, both musical content and artwork. I mentioned I'm a percussionist right?

Aquarela - Nico Gomez et son Orchestre

Sometimes referred to as The Girl From Ipanema, this French release from Nico has no given title so people use the first track on the album or the first track listed on the front. On my wishlist for a while I picked this up for less than £20.

Latin Escapade - George Shearing

"Music that suggests the darkest corner of a smoky bar. . . the sweet wild mood of a Latin Escapade."

" For aficionados of latin music, George Shearing plays these tropical tempos wit a romantic touch all his own. He has long been a master of jazz with a latin beat, and now, for the first time in a complete album, this special mastery finds fine, full expression. Backed by the colourful sounds of maracas, timbale, claves and conga drums, Shearing's deft piano and his famed quintet make music that is sultry indeed; it will lure even the shyest dancer to the floor, and thoroughly delight the listener who does not choose to dance."

For his latest Columbia album, Charlie Byrd takes a soaring, Byrd's-eye view of what's really new on today's movie-music landscape. In HOLLYWOOD BYRD, heplays in a contemporary jazz-guitar idiom and in an intriguing orchestra and chorus setting.

Listen to today's top movies, and fly with HOLLYWOOD BYRD.

George Shearing - Burnished Brass

"An exciting album blending the Shearing piano and quintet with an array of brass instruments.

It's a distinctive new format, a study in rich, melodic music.

Sparked by a program of specially tailored tunes arranged by George Shearing and Billy May, the sound comes rolling out full, wide and hefty."

I'll do that then. . .

Marty Gold - Skin Tight

"This is a drum album"

"Now don't be alarmed. This doesn't mean it's a succession of bangs and crashes designed to send your neighbours house hunting. Rather it is a virtual catalogue of the infinite diversity of percussion sounds and colours, ranging from the subtle to the sensational. Nine percussionists let loose their talents on several dozen instruments - many of which, we'll wager, you'll be hearing for the first time."

Well, they lost that bet, I own most of the instruments used on this album! But I'm a percussionist. In that sense this album is disappointing and relies on tunes made famous by Gene Krupa, but still a great old record with a terrific cover! This album also comes with a map of the orchestra for the recording session, including the position of each percussionist and the mic's they used. Also, it contains the revolutionary antistatic agent 317X, providing a miracle surface to prevent surface noise AND this is a "New Orthophonic" high fidelity recording. Wow! Listen to it all here.
