Clebanoff and His Orchestra Lush, Latin and Bossa Nova Too! [1963]

Mercury Records SR-60824

This album is totally Latin Lounge with an emphasis on the Bossa Nova rhythm and the addition of an orchestra with strings does provide another layer of color to the program.  But don't worry, the strings are never sentimental or syrupy.  Instead, the arrangements are livelier Latin stylings, albeit with the distinctive touch of Clebanoff's imagination guiding the proceedings. There is a liberal mélange of Space Age Pop stirred into the mix for good measure!  Unique interpretations indeed!
