Title: A magic journey
Product review: Put the Cd on and embark on a magic journey of lush harmonies, delightful melodies and exotic rythms. This is the magic of Les Baxter! My dad was a fan of Baxter's and I picked it up myself from him. I only wish Capitol/EMI would embark on a full-fledged reissue of all Baxter's albums. I miss his other exotica titles on Cd, especially "Caribbean Moonlight", a wonderful album, represented by only three tracks on Capitol's great compilation "The Exotic Moods of Les Baxter". About the current Cd, although a definite 5 stars for Baxter, the remaster obviously comes from an LP, and it seems not a very good one at that: the overall acoustics are reverberant and there is signs of end-of-side distortion and saturation on certain tracks. The Cd is nicely presented and I must recommend it for the marvelous music it contains in spite of the technical reservations that can be easily be lived with for the time being.
