Carmen Cavallaro - With That Latin Beat (1958)






















Well, I finally got round to recording something new.  A sparkling album from Carmen Cavallaro.  Apologies for the crackles and pops.  Great album, though.

Not sure of the year though, late 50s, early 60s.

The George Shearing Quintet - Latin Escapade (1956)





















One of my favourite records.  Great to listen to when you're having a BBQ in the garden.  You may have to wait a while though before you experience that pleasure!

Mantovani - An Album Of Christmas Music (1958)





















An absolute Christmas favourite in our house for many years.  Side one is a little crackly but side two isn't bad at all.  A truly wonderful Christmas record.

Carlo Peretti - Mambos And Cha-Cha-Chas (1959)





















Fantastic early Mambo album.  All the tracks are brilliant, particularly the first, Mambo A La Puenti, a six minute stormer!
