Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

I watched this movie several months ago, and it immediately became one of my favorites. Gothic movie in a desert, tense storytelling and a perfect soundtrack. Those of you who haven't seen the movie - find it and watch it as soon and possible.

Enjoy this jazzy music, accompanied by dialogs from the movie.

Tribute to Les Baxter

I noticed that although a lot of people are familiar with Les Baxter's music, there is no tribute video of him on youtube. So I decided to create one.

Les Baxter is the leading figure in the history of exotica. A great musician and composer.

Through his music, he created a mysterious exotic world full of magic and pleasures.

This video is a tribute to the great composer

The Shape Of Jazz To Come - Ornette Coleman

Ornette Coleman's album "The Shape of Jazz to Come", was the most important element in the genesis of avant-garde jazz and determining its future course. The record shattered traditional concepts of harmony in jazz, getting rid of not only the piano player but the whole idea of concretely outlined chord changes.

Enjoy the unique Coleman !!!

Tracks:

1. Lonely Woman
2. Eventually
3. Peace
4. Focus On Sanity
5. Congeniality
6. Chronology

The Shape Of Jazz To Come - Ornette Coleman

Jimmy Smith - The Cat (1964)

Hello dear loungers.

This time, after a short absence, I make a come back
with a very cool, suavy album.

This jazzy organ album of Jommy Smith is one of my
favorites. It's so "midnight elegant".

This album, arranged by Lalo Schifrin, features selections
from two film scores (including "The Cat," for which composer
Schifrin won a Grammy), some big-band style orchestrations,
and plenty of blues. In 1964 this release defied the boundaries
of idiom, appealing to a huge audience of jazz, r&b, and pop fans.

So, please enjoy the perfect
sound of Jimmy Smith

Tracks:

1. Theme From Joy House
2. The Cat (From Joy House)
3. Basin Street Blues
4. Main Title Form The Carpetbaggers
5. Chicago Serenade
6. St. Louis Blues
7. Delon's Blues
8. Blues In The Night
