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 ...

But none have gone the route as seamlessly as transplanted Zairean ...

Seasoned collectors of obscure 10" records instantly recognize this album cover; dolled up in her tight bodice, Hammond organist Ethel Smith has been grabbing at the keyboard and baring her teeth in used record stores for decades.
