Manhattan Research, Inc. (2000) more music like this

by Raymond Scott

Subtitled "New Plastic Sounds and Electronic Abstractions," Manhattan Research, Inc. is an excellent compilation of electronic pioneer Raymond Scott's works from the '50s and '60s. Nothing that has been recorded since within the field of electronic music has obscured the originality and genius of these works. Even the amusing tracks of corporate ...

Soothing Sounds for Baby, Vol. 2

Soothing Sounds for Baby, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this

by Raymond Scott

As the second volume in the Soothing Sounds for Baby trilogy, Vol. 2 was designed by Raymond Scott for infants six to 12 months old. Correspondingly, it features fewer, but longer and more complex, rhythmic compositions. The first song, "Tempo Block," is a transitional piece, combining Vol. 1's sprightly keyboard melodies with a slightly tribal ...

Soothing Sounds for Baby, Vol. 3 (1997) more music like this

by Raymond Scott

After exploring melody in Vol. 1 and percussion in Vol. 2, Soothing Sounds for Baby, Vol. 3 integrates and alternates between the two concepts, resulting in the series' greatest musical contrasts. Appropriately for its intended age group of 12 to 18 months, Vol. 3 contains the series' most intricate pieces. The arrangements take center stage on ...

The Unexpected

The Unexpected (1960) more music like this

by Raymond Scott & Secret 7

Finally, here is the first appearance on CD of Raymond Scott's 1960 album The Unexpected. This was Scott's swansong to the small-group jazz format he'd helped pioneer in the mid-'30s, but anyone expecting to encounter an updated version of Scott's echt -1937 Quintette will be in for a disappointment. All of Scott's productions of the LP era, save ...

The Rock 'N' Roll Symphony [Acrobat]

The Rock 'N' Roll Symphony [Acrobat] (1958) more music like this

by Raymond Scott Orchestra

Even among his supporters, The Rock 'N' Roll Symphony is the most controversial album of Raymond Scott's career. Made in 1958 in the earliest days of Everest Records, where Scott was working A&R, it is the one commercial recording he made that reflects his day job as music director of the popular Your Hit Parade television shows. Your Hit Parade ...

Microphone Music

Microphone Music (2003) more music like this

by The Raymond Scott Quintette

Jazz music, always known for its spirit of improvisation, was hardly the medium for composers or producers during its first 50 years. Even the greatest early arrangers -- Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Don Redman -- allowed plenty of room for solos, and would've been deserted by most of their musicians if they hadn't. All of which explains ...

Kodachrome

Kodachrome (2002) more music like this

by Metropole Orchestra/Raymond Scott

Kodachrome is Basta Records' fourth and best effort so far in re-creating Raymond Scott's endlessly imaginative and oh-so-treacherous-to-play repertoire. In the case of Kodachrome, 17 Scott originals are selected from among his lesser-known works, mainly big band scores, radio production music, and commercial advertising work. Although some of ...

Pushbutton Parfait

Pushbutton Parfait (2002) more music like this

by The Raymond Scott Orchestrette

The debut CD of the Raymond Scott Orchestrette, Pushbuttom Parfait, demonstrates both the imaginative nature of composer/arranger Raymond Scott's idiosyncratic compositions and the adventurous new arrangements of the RSO. Scott, who rose to prominence in the 1930s leading a sextet, achieved immortality when Warner Brothers began adapting his ...

Greatest Swing Instrumentals

Greatest Swing Instrumentals (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

A good if not especially comprehensive introduction to the sound of the swing era, this budget-priced collection doesn't exactly stick exclusively to instrumental material -- both Gene Krupa's "Drum Boogie" and Les Brown's "Sunday" feature vocalists -- but the inclusion of such classic performances as Benny Goodman's "String of Pearls" and Raymond ...

Powerhouse, Vol. 1

Powerhouse, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this

by Raymond Scott Project

Between 1937-39 composer-pianist Raymond Scott and his six-piece "Quintette" recorded 24 originals that were most notable for their hilarious titles, somewhat bizarre but somehow logical arrangements and tight ensembles. To Scott's surprise, the group caught on for awhile and such numbers as "Powerhouse" and "The Toy Trumpet" became hits. This CD ...

Soothing Sounds for Baby, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this

by Raymond Scott

Designed for babies one to six months old, the first volume of Raymond Scott's dreamy, engaging Soothing Sounds for Baby series emphasizes soft synth tones, repetitive melodies, and relatively simple arrangements. Keeping in mind a young baby's attention span, Vol. 1 also contains shorter, more numerous pieces than the following albums. Vol. 1 ...

This three-CD, 42-track compilation, spanning 1937-1982 (though largely comprised of performances from the '60s and '70s), includes pieces by many of the big names in experimental electronic music: John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Milton Babbitt, Laurie Spiegel, Robert Ashley, LaMonte Young, Morton ...

It's a testament to the level of devotion enjoyed by swing eccentric and electronics pioneer Raymond Scott that the centennial of his birth could be celebrated with a special vinyl figurine, encased in a retro box designed by Archer Prewitt and also including a 20-minute CD EP of music (and demonstrations). Children be warned, however, the box ...

by The Raymond Scott Quintette

After allowing Raymond Scott fans to feast on his peak era of 1937-1939 with the grand Microphone Music, Basta returned five years later with Ectoplasm, which charts Scott's second Quintette (so spelled) during the years 1948-1949. Scott had led a big band during the World War II years, but narrowed his focus soon after its end. (Unlike the vast ...

The Music of Raymond Scott: Reckless Nights & Turkish Twilights (1992) more music like this

by Raymond Scott

The name may not be immediately familiar, but the music itself certainly is; to anyone weaned on the legendary Warner Bros. cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s, Raymond Scott's deliriously inventive freak jazz is the soundtrack of childhood, with each and every note capable of conjuring up indelible images of such immortal characters as Bugs Bunny, ...
