Another compilation in a series of dark and spooky viper jazz, swing, Latin and delicious vocal treats from the 1920's to the early 1950's. There are a number of interesting rhythms and sad haunted recordings filled with tribal percussion and beautiful dreams.
The records I used came from a variety of formats, original 45s, LPs and imported reissues from the 60's, 70's & 80's. A couple of the Latin tunes came from my grandfather's collection. He was born in Antofagasta, Chile. When he passed away I was given his record collection which included an amazing stack of Chilean 78s and LPs of vintage South American artists. One of these records I recently discovered has not been played for at least 50 years as it was stuffed into the wrong sleeve.
Autumn has arrived, the leaves are orange and I miss my mountain home though the Casa Bonita has been good to us...
