Juan Garcia Esquivel “Cabaret Tragico” RCA Victor Mexico. (1957) The soundtrack from a Mexican crime drama—his second to last release before heading north to the States. Vocals on five of the tracks by Columba Domínguez, Elsa Cárdenas, Carmen di Lirio, and Kitty de Hoyos.
One of the last and the best of those infamous mexican nightclub melodramas (“Películas de Cabareteras”), it features a stunning noirish cinematography, over-the-top acting by half a dozen of wonderfully weird and wicked latina beauties such as Columba Dominguez and Kitty de Hoyos (looking like a drag queen performing Marilyn Monroe!) plus great -if low budget- musical show clips performed by the mesmerizing Esquivel, the “King of Zu-Zu-Zu”! Another masterpiece from the great (beer-drinking?) director Alfonso “Corona” Blake, who began as an assistant to Luis Bunuel and Emilio “Indio” Fernandez and gave the world some of the finest campy horror- and “Il Santo”-classics.

“At Home With Dorothy and Raymond” Dorothy Collins and the Raymond Scott Quintet. Coral Records. Scott married Pearl Zimney in 1935, and they had two children, Carolyn and Stanley. In 1940, a talented 13-year-old Canadian named Marjorie Chandler came to live with the family. Recommended to Scott by road manager Frank Herz, the girl had a lovely voice and became Scott’s protegee. By age 16, Chandler, re-named Dorothy Collins, was lead vocalist in Raymond’s big band. They toured together (often with Pearl along as stage-mom), and a mutual chemistry developed. In 1950, Scott and Pearl separated; two years later, he married Dorothy.
