Cugi's Cocktails
(1963)
more music like this
by
Xavier Cugat
Contrary to the title, Cugi's Cocktails is no sleepy album of "cocktail music." It has all the elements a listener would expect of Xavier Cugat's first great stereo album: an agreeable theme, a dash of exotic flair, and all the bombast of the preceding half-decade of experimenting with high-fidelity stereo recording. "One Mint Julep" would have ...

The Original Latin Dance King

by
Xavier Cugat
Xavier Cugat had a recording career that stretched over many more years than are covered on this collection. But this single-disc, 26-song anthology of sides from the 1940s and 1950s has to be considered the best collection of his work. This was Cugat's prime, and the tracks boast better fidelity than those he made prior to 1940, if one considers ...

Talkin' Verve: With a Twist
(1958)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
The Talkin' Verve series, until this point ostensibly an investigation into the roots of acid-jazz (aka another way to exploit the back catalog), took on a really strange twist with this melange of mid-century bachelor-pad jazz and whatnot. Presumably aimed at the lounge music fad of the 1990s, this package bundles together jazzers like Stan Getz, ...

Xavier Cugat
The most significant thing about Cugat Cavalcade is the famous jacket photo of Xavier Cugat holding one of his chihuahuas. But it's also a treat to have a Columbia album recorded in stereo. Unfortunately, the album is really nothing more than another collection of old singles. The new stereo versions are not a significant departure from the ...

by
Xavier Cugat
Harlequin Records presents Xavier Cugat and his orchestra, the way they sounded live and in person at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel during the years 1950-1954. This is Latin big band dance music -- heavy on the rhumbas and mambos -- with a strong jazz influence. Indeed during their best passages Cugie's crew could easily be mistaken for Machito & His ...

Stylistically it's pure hodgepodge, but this ASV/Living Era compilation does excel at offering some of the best prewar material that traditional pop audiences identify as nostalgia. Whether it's a cowboy ballad, a French chanson, or a Hoagy Carmichael evergreen, the compilers aim for a sense of ennui that makes good use of that certain something: ...

This is a weird little curio from another time and another state of mind, a compendium of 23 78s from the big band era that took classical themes and tried to convert them into vehicles for swing bands. In the 1930s and '40s, the most famous classical pieces were more familiar to the man in the street than they are now, and there was a lot of ...

Tightly packed with rhumbas, mambos, sambas, and meringues, this chapter in Harlequin's amazing Xavier Cugat series is wall-to-wall live radio broadcasts, featuring conventional gringo announcers and lots of feisty introductions by Cugie himself. This band comes across better than ever when heard performing in front of the public at the Roseland ...
