Cal Tjader Xtra Homemade Xtabey Comp

You folks liked the Xtabey Bongomania series.  Xtabey was an early blogger who posted some fine LPs and compilations back in the day. Maybe he's deep in the Aussie bush or not on Facebook?  He never came forward. Found this one in the homemade bins.   Once again I really appreciated the efforts of our past and current bloggers. If your interested in blogging here for the Exotica Mailing List/Facebook group let me know.

Vibest Cal Tjader was just too amazing for words. If this is new for you I envy your discovery. Took me a while to discover his music.

 

 

 

Flat, Black And Circular

Say thanks to our good Exotica loving crate-diggin friend Bill for this next compilation.

Digitized tracks from records bought at a shop in East Lansing on one especially productive visit.  Flat Black & Circular is located at 541 E Grand River Ave #204, East Lansing, MI 48823 and they have a Facebook page and website (flatblackandcircular.com)

After unzipping the file look for a folder with cover scans of the LP's collected and digitized for this collection.
My favorite is Mongo Santamaria's "Mr. Watermelon Man/La Bamba" a fascinating cover that reminds me technology has improved so much that panty lines are a thing of the past. The music will last forever.

Have a similar comp? Pass it on and we will share it with your peeps!

12th street rag rondo (1)

Hi, from this week on I will try to post my weekly radioshows here. Last night's theme was "12th street rag rondo" with songs about streets and every other track being a different version of 12th street rag, as originally composed by Euday Bowman in 1914. So a lot of ragtime, but also more. You can listen by clicking the player on the show's web page or here:

Unless of course you don't want to hear me rattling along in Dutch, in which case you'll have to download the senza parole mix attached underneath here.

tracklist:
