A classic 1959 full-length by the master of exotica, Les Baxter, sees a welcome reissue with additional tracks! This LP offers a wonderfully orchestrated soundtrack to an exciting, imaginary journey through various jungles, tropical as well as urban. Full of haunting atmospheres, Latin jazz influences and delightful passages with wordless female vocals, 'Les Baxter's Jungle Jazz' stil manages to build bridges between the planet's rainforests and the dreams of urban youngsters in the western world (and their parents).
