1955 Caribbean Moonlight - Les Baxter

Les Baxter is a pianist who composed and arranged for the top swing bands of the '40s and '50s, but he is better known as the "founder of exotica", a variation of easy listening that glorified the sounds and styles of Polynesia, Africa, and South America, even as it retained the traditional string and horn arrangements of instrumental pop. Exotica became a massively popular trend in the '50s, (even today is good to me) with thousands of record buyers listening to Baxter, Martin Denny, and their imitators.This is a sample of his talent. Long life to Exotica!!!
