Bobby Dukoff And His Orchestra ‎– Sweet Swingin’ Sax In Stereo (RCA Camden ‎1959)

This is insane. Great recording. Great sax, piano and crystal clear drumkit and some vibes. Then accompanying the music is a a ’dooo di doooo de doo’ female vocals by a one Lois Winter. $1. NM.


Ralph Marterie And His Orchestra ‎- A Salute To The Aragon Ballroom (Mercury 1953)

A WW2 navy man who mastered the trumpet at 17. Okay. So it’s biggish band and a couple of tracks are a bit manic. And it’s a tribute to ballroom.
But there are more than a few numbers on this you must dim the lights for. Magic lies in these grooves. Soaring warm trumpet. Get drunk or stoned. And turn it up.


"Get drunk or stoned"   Either way, is "highly" dependant on what part of the country one lives in.
