Les Baxter - Jewels Of The Sea '1961/2012

Tracks list

 For as long as man beheld the oceans splendor, inspiration has come with the
tides and stayed to work its magic on the imagination. To a composer the sea
offers wondrous motion, a shimmering surface of flowing mystery. Les Baxter
gratefully accepted these things, and distilled them into exotic miniatures of
dream-like beauty - sparkling, opalescent gems. Dreamy, sensual, iridescent,
abstracted, this is quintessential Les Baxter. Baxter invented exotica and
imposed his passion for Stravinsky and Debussy on escapist travelogue themes to
create a unique form of popular music that was far from easy listening in the
conventional sense. El. 2012.
