Quincy Jones - Plays Hip Hits (1963)

Wonderful album.  Perfect for my Saturday night.

Brasilia Nueve - How Insensitive (1967)

One of my absolute favourite albums and a truly remarkable lineup of New York's finest including Bill Potts and Zoot Sims.  Mine is a mono copy and I've been looking for a stereo copy for years, so if you have one, let me know.

Here's a Bill Potts' original, Brasilville.

Paul Mauriat - Latin Nights (1968)

Contains a great version of Perfidia.

Pepe Jaramillo - Tequila Cocktail (1971)

Apologies in advance as this is a little crackly in places, but it's worth it.

Tequila Cocktail

Sergio Mendes - Introducing (1969)

David Whittaker Orchestra - Latin In The Night (1967)

Summer Samba

Duncan Lamont - Best Of The Bossa Novas (1970)

Fantastic album from Duncan Lamont.  Complete with Michael Caine's missus on the cover too.

Quiet Night of Quiet Stars

Mantovai - Latin Rendezvous (1963)

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps

Henry Mancini - The Latin Sound Of (1965)

Sunny sounds for a sunny day.

Señor Peter Gunn

Edmundo Ros - Sing And Dance With Edmundo

In celebration of the continuing good weather here in the UK.

Antonio Pedro Hatch - The Cool Latin Sound (1968)

What better way to get set for a snowy weekend than with this cool album from Antonio Pedro, AKA Tony Hatch.

One of my favourite albums.  Here's Birds.

Various Artists - Something Festive (1970)

A repost from last year, the original link being long dead and buried.

Carmen Cavallaro - With That Latin Beat (1958)

Well, I finally got round to recording something new.  A sparkling album from Carmen Cavallaro.  Apologies for the crackles and pops.  Great album, though.

Not sure of the year though, late 50s, early 60s.

Enlloro

Various Artists - Latin Delights - Verve

Apologies for the recent lack of posts.  Anyway, here's a little cracker to end November with.  Unfortunately, a cracker with a few crackles, but I thought those were a small price to pay for such a quality compilation.

Here's a little taster, courtesy of Kai Winding.

Esquivel - More Of Other Worlds, Other Sounds (1962)

LINK COLLAPSED DUE TO DMCA COMPLAINT 

An album rightly regarded as a classic.  Maybe not quite as good as the first LP in the series but great stuff all the same.


Happy Sunday.

Charles Magnante - Fiesta! (1964)

I posted this album a while ago, but I'd messed up and posted Carnival instead.  Well, finally here is the correct album and sleeve.

Especially for those of us in the UK who are enjoying this Indian summer.  Should hit 26 today and 29 tomorrow.  Phew, what a scorcher!

Alan Tew - Tom Springfield - Latin Style (1969) and Magnificent Swingers (1970)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

I've posted these two great Alan Tew albums before but my original posts were a little scratchy.  I was lucky enough last week to find them again in almost perfect condition in my local British Heart Foundation.  So I thought they deserved a second chance.

Xavier Cugat - Caricatures (1964)

Fly Me To The Moon

Chaquito - Swinging Latin Sound (1962)

I scanned the covers to this early Chaquito classic before Christmas but never got round to posting it.  It's certainly a summer album though so I'm glad I waited a while.

Baia

Royal Latin Orchestra - Golden Latin Brass (1968)

Yeah, I know, there are a hundred albums like this, but it's summer and it really is a nice album.
