Spectacular Harmonicas [1960]


MGM Records E3846

This musical plat du jour was produced by Eddie Heller, MGM's A and R executive.  He enlisted eight of New York's harmonica virtuosi to become the Spectacular Harmonicas (no specific mention of any names, however) and Richard Hayman, the pioneer of harmonica playing, to score nine of the arrangements.  The end result is quite spectacular!

Tracklist:
01 Orpheus Overture (Can-Can)
02 Skipping Along
03 Sabre Dance
04 The Lover
05 Ritual Fire Dance
06 Plink, Plank, Plunk
07 Dance of The Comedians
08 Peg O' My Heart
09 Opus One
10 Tango For Two
11 Tuxedo Junction
12 Carriage Trade
