"A cuba libre for table five, a salad for table two
and crazy Daisy for the bongo band from Arabia..."
I have no idea who's behind this Italian band. This song is a brilliant tune that could have escaped the KPM library. A 1971 release on Disques Vogue.
This is the A-side of "Autoroute". Personally I prefer the B-side. Again it's an instrumental side, which reminds me of a more accessible version of I Marc 4.
R&B instrumental with sax and piano from 1959, the instrumental year. There were so many bands called Playboys in those days. Who were these guys? Perhaps the ones who did "Jungle fever", also from 1959.
Moody instrumental on the B-side. An Imperial release from 1959.
Two singles later they changed into Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band. I love this midtempo soul instrumental from 1967 on MoSoul.
Because it's so good, here's part 2 as well.
What a great and groovy funk instrumental (90%) from 1970. Released on Better Records.
On Part 2 there are a few more words, a few more guitar freakouts, and a few more of everything. Part 2 is even better than Part 1.
His saxophone plays the tune for the Benny Hill show. And if you listen very carefully you can hear bits of it in this 1960 recording.
A sax and a bongo… that's all I need for a cool vibe. Kentucky born Homer "Boots" Randolph will always be remembered for "Yakety sax".
Originally released in 1962 on Ebony and in 1963 on Showcase, but luckily reissued in 1985 on a splitsingle by S.O.S. Sound Of Soul. Great R&B exotica by this unknown outfit that also recorded "Still miss you so/Just ask" for Sound Stage 7 Records.
Self-penned jazz instrumental at an incredible speed, released in 1956 on Mercury. In 1955 it already appeared on his album "Rock 'n' roll". Saxophonist Wilburt "Red" Prysock is the brother of Arthur Prysock. See vol 172 for the flipside.
These "guitars from hell" hailed from the city that is called the "burning city", so their name is not that strange at all. "Reviens-moi" or "Come back to me" is a great guitar rock tune with a splendid guitar break. It sounds like The Cousins meet Les Chats Sauvages.
Do you wonder who these guys were? It's The Four Seasons in disguise. This instro groovy killer tune is better than any Frankie Valli recording. Great titty twistin' jerk bam boom from 1965. Watch out for the flipside on vol 173.
Instrumental jazz song from 1961 on Rendezvous Records, written by "Googie" Rafael Rene, who discovered Bobby Day. For me he's best known for his killer instro "The chiller".
Subtitled "People moving west", a 1968 release on World Pacific. It was also the end of this instrumental outfit from Hollywood. See also vol 158.
