Biography

Les Baxter is a pianist who composed and arranged for the top swing bands of the '40s and '50s, but he is better known as the founder of exotica, a variation of easy listening that glorified the sounds and styles of Polynesia, Africa, and South America, even as it retained the traditional string-and-horn arrangements of instrumental pop.

3.0 out of 5 stars Original, not pristine!, April 28, 2007
By John B Goode "Record Keeper" (Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This cd has a great selection, but some listeners might not appreciate the mono, and the considerable surface noise on some tracks.

The recordings date from the early 1950s (accounting for the mono), and all seem to be just past the 50 year zone that places them in Public Domain in Europe.

It would be nice to hear the same slection mastered from better sources.

But it's nice to hear the original Quiet Village :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Legendary performances, May 26, 2009
By Melvin Perez "Music Is My Game" (riverside, california United States) - See all my reviews

Les Baxter is a one of a kind musician that comes around once every one hundred years. He was truly one of the masters of the "exotica" sound and a leader in the world of easy listening. A real genius of musical performance.
