Rouse is in the house!
“Bossa Nova Bacchanal” Blue Note (1962) With Charlie Rouse (Tenor Sax); Kenny Burrell & Chauncey “Lord” Westbrook (Guitar); Lawrence Gales (Bass); Willie Bobo (Drums); Potato Valdez (Conga); Garvin Masseaux (Chekere).
Side 1: Back To The Tropics; Aconteceu; Velhos Tempos; Samba De Orfeu.
Side 2: Un Dia; Meci Bon Dieu; In Martinique.

Leonard Feather says in the liner notes,”As befits the overall concept of bossa nova, Charlie plays with a remarkable blend of smoothness and assertion…and his sense of time is always acute and appropriate”.

“Monster Melodies” The Ideal Dance Party with Frankie Stein and his Ghouls Power Records There are at least six of these Frankie Stein sessions on Power, all with groovy covers. I’ll list them all eventually (see the “Monster” category). This looks like an illustration that might have graced the cover of Famous Monsters of Filmdom magazine. But this is done tongue in cheek with songs titles like “”Doctor Spook”, “In a Groovy Grave”, “All Choked Up” and “Dressed to Kill” all played in the dance styles of the day – the twist, frug, hully gully and mashed potato, etc. “The die-namic sound with the DEAD beat that has everything to make your dancing party a HOWLING success…”
