I guess I didn't "Fool" anyone with my last post. Or did I? Just to set the record straight...I have plenty of music and I am not going anywhere. I just picked up another turntable and should be back in the kitchen ripping up some delicious hors d'oeuvres for all of you kind patrons.
Speaking of hor d'oeurves, that's french for appetizer which is french for a small amount of food which is...
This was left on the back porch by ReCoRdGrInDeR, a regular visitor who is unknown to me but wanted to offer a tasty treat back to the kitchen. I was not familiar with this one at all. After some research it seems this was released in the US and in France under two different titles. Our kind benefactor did not offer any scans of the album and the tracks were not tagged or was there a track listing, but thanks alot for some killer music. And @ 320kbps! I found a few jpg's out there, the one pictured being the best.
I have been learning a bit about jazz from a few sites specializing in such music and while this is probably not what the purists call Jazz many of the artists I have been learning about are included on this recording.
Apparently Mr. Rugolo was smitten with Ms. Bardot and wanted to honor her with some arrangements from the movies she had appeared in during the late 1950's. He gathered up some fine musician buddies to help with the endeavor and here is the result. It falls in the realm of true Bachelor Pad and should not be missed.
A BIG thanks to ReCoRdGrInDeR for his generous offering to the kitchen.

No place I'd rather be then behind Brigitte Bardot.
Thanks LP for the tasty bite.

First April Fools gag to get me since before I ever sipped a Dry Martini. I guess with blogs under attack and vanishing almost daily you reallt hit a nerve. But I meant what I said about style and class. Guess the experience was like hearing your own eulogy...

Amore! Er uh, isn't that Italian, Onzi?
You need to come back tomorrow for that country. We got some kicking Italian Library/Soundtrack cooking up in the oven right now.

I very (!!) much enjoyed the samples of the Pete Rugulo & the Cool scene LPs. Great stuff and such LPs are excatly the reason why I enjoy (well, most of the times) to browse through dusty bins preferably in thrift stores in the US. Any chance to get the complete records? Or am I just too stupid and don't find the links?

I am too stupid - sorry! Great stuff THANKS!!

Don't suppose you could start uploading to sharebee.com? The IT dept. here has a block on Rapidshare. :(
