MEN OPENING UMBRELLAS AHEAD
AVAILABLE NOW
Unavailable since the mid 1970's this special limited edition CD features all the tracks on the original and
much sought-after LP plus further bonus tracks from

Nigerian coffee tables are not the first instrument that comes to mind when thinking percussion, but they feature large in this inescapably delirious celebration of Dadaism in music.

LALO SCHIFRIN: MAMBO
IN PARIS
AVAILABLE NOW
Man, check out that groovy Parisian Brenot pin-up on the cover!
If you are seeking formative influences in Lalo Schifrin's work, then this splendid album, lovingly restored from the Paris sessions of the 1950's featuring Eddie Warner's Orchestra for whom he arranged, conducted and played piano, will do the trick.
An amazing breath of fresh air! Unmistakably "Lalo"! What was then called cha-cha-cha and mambo, and what we today call salsa, this hugely enjoyable album features several original compositions by Schifrin as well as by his mentor Dizzy Gillespie. His biographer, Georges Michel has written exclusive notes for us for this terrific album! Notes in English and French.
