Larry's Lounge Lizard Mix

Mix tape from saxophonist “Larry Sambosa”. Always nice to get a themed mix from an accomplished musician. Even just to peruse the tracklist, see what direction they go and surprises, like Donald Fagen.

“Strictly Ballroom" soundtrack (an excellent movie if you like bailroom dancing) and as far as I've ever heard, "Yakety Sax", clearly a novelty tune, was the only worthwhile thing Boots Randolph ever recorded If you ever find that swing album, let me know - the guy definitely has some chops, but seems to have decided to use [his] power for evil instead of good."

Doris Day’s “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps” is the outstanding track on her “Latin For Lovers” LP. Pleasantly arranged and conducted by Mort Garson.  This was right before his Moog LP's.

Boots Randolph. For some reason he comes up a lot when crate digging in central Massachusetts. Maybe because he’s left last in the bin?  Guess there is a good swing record out there by Boots, thru hunting for gems. My bin is full.

Every time I even think about Boots Larry's “used his power for evil instead of good” quote pops in my head. And now it will happen to you.


A few demo tracks from "Sambossa" is the group Larry was in at the time.
