Breeze from the East is a 1964 album by vibraphonist Cal Tjader, arranged by Stan Applebaum. The album features jazzy lounge music with a quasi-Asian sound. Stephen Cook reviewed the album for Allmusic and described the album as combining "the vibist's [Tjader's] Latin lounge style with kitschy Asian touches" describing the songs "Sake and Greens," "Cha," and "Shoji" as sounding like "'60s-era James Bond on a wild chase through the heart of Tokyo". Cook concluded by feeling that "The ultra-smooth Latin jazz sound Tjader favored has always been more infectious than demanding and Breeze from the East's commercialized mod/eastern elements only end up expanding the pop exotica mix". - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maVRdqauFTQ&list=RDmaVRdqauFTQ&start_radio=1 #CalTjader #Vibraphone #Lounge #Exotica #Jazz #VerveRecords #Music

Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday after a swim with East To West by Paul Mark and His Orchestra released on Imperial in 1961. Ambient Exotica wrote: "There is no Exotica album like Paul Mark's East To West..no other act or orchestra can unchain the same multiplicity of Lounge, Space-Age, Exotica and Far Eastern traces... The incessant mixture of Paul Mark's Hammond organ and celeste with the gongs, xylophone, koto and shamisen is awe-inspiring and unique in the Exotica landscape. Some tunes are Rock-like and joyful thanks to the simulation of a fairground organ, others bathe in mystique and darker half-tones. Exotica fans who are fond of the Japanese tonality will be happy to know that East To West features two to three tunes that reappear a bit more regularly in their favorite genre. The rest is excitingly alien and deliciously strange.." http://www.ambientexotica.com/exorev205_paulmark_easttowest/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxoccJKwAUw&list=PLqx8HE-cr3HuxH1xoHvcLOMvsJvoFSkOF&index=8 #PaulMark #Exotica #SpaceAgePop #Music #Lounge
