And, as a collector, I also, like many of you, go for the non-brand names. I like lousy-lounge singers. Has anyone ever found anything by an Italian singer ENZO DI TERRIZI(the spelling of the last name could be wrong, but it's phonetic from my memory.) It's just hilarious! The guy saunters his way through standards like KILLNG ME SOFTLY (tellin' ma whole-life, withherword...) and has great wah-wah guitar. A friend found an album called SI, SI, SI(an Enzo original), but it was not only Enzo, but two other "Cruise Ship" singers. It's hysterical, and actually quite listenable!

As a member of Barrence's band for the last 4 years (and his friend for 12 years), let me verify this : Barrence is, indeed, a voracious record collector with an imposing knowledge of a great many musical styles. Although he is known as an R&B and soul singer, he can talk for hours about folk, C&W, jazz, Celtic, French, exotica, and rock in all it's permutations. He (and I) would spend all our free time on tours hitting record stores all over Europe and N.America. About 9 years ago, while going through hundreds of '78's in a store in Kansas City (the Music Emporium, I believe, in the Uptown neighborhood), Barrence happened upon a number of sides by the Raymond Scott Quintette. Intrigued by the titles, he bought them all. After hearing them, he made a cassette for his old pal from New Jersey, Irwin Chusid. Somewhere in the same time frame, Irwin also received a tape of Scott's music from fellow oddball musicologist/SubGenius Byron Werner (who also introduced Irwin to Esquivel). The rest, as they say, is history. {BTW, there was never any Scott Quintette music on reel-to-reel. It was only available on 78's and on a 10"LP collection on Columbia from 1952} Four Piece Suit is comprised of members, past and present, from Barrence Whitfield & the Savages. Barrence is not involved with it, as it is an *instrumental* surf/exotica combo. (I sat in on Hammond organ on 1 track). The CD is entitled "Ready To Where?" (Ocean Records, OM 2006). br cleve ------------------------------ From: bcleve@tiac.net (Brother Cleve) Date: Thu, 27 Jun 1996 12:00:13 -0400 Subject: Re: Touch of Evil > RE>Touch of Evil 6/27/96 > >what label? >laura@wusf.usf.edu Hi Laura It's on Varese Sarabande, VSD-5414.

I have heard back from *Dick Hyman* and he is working on responses to the 45 questions I sent him. As soon as I have these, an article will appear on the site. 2. I called *Tony Mottola* on Tuesday and he too is happy to be interviewed. I'm mailing him some (45?) questions in the next couple of days and he has offered to *tape* his answers (and perhaps some guitar strumming I wonder?). Speaking to Tony was a personal milestone as it was my parents playing his version of "Tequila" when I was but a wee thing that planted the seed of interest in this music. 3. Dick Hyman called WWW site co-constructor Michael Toth and one of the results of this was a contact with one of Enoch's daughters, Mary Jack Wald. Within a day or so, I heard from her - she has seen the site, thinks it's "wonderful" and has offered to provide as much info as she can for the site. Contact with the other "Light daughter" Julie Klages is imminent. 4. On the same day I heard about this, I heard from Lem Lloyd, Mary Jack's son who remembers his old grandad well - he likes the site too and has also offered his assistance. 5. Other points: the site is now listed at Yahoo and will appear in Internet Underground's "Weird Web" links list in August. So, big wheels are starting to move at a frightening rate and it's all been a bit much for me! Thanks go out again to everyone who has been throwing information at me - you now have more incentive than ever for continuing to do this considering these recent developments! WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE NEWS - including a post from Michael who will be posting news of an Enoch Light "birthday party" he's helping to put together...

As soon as you get there call the Sheraton Desert Inn as you might be lucky enough to catch Keeley Smith & Sam Butera in the lounge...also check the lounge at the Riveria as sometimes the Treniers perform there. Always there and always a great choice - the current Las Vegas lounge King is at the Continental (a few blocks off the strip) The Fabulous Cook E Jar! Bars I recommend: The Benihana Village in the Las Vegas Hilton is a real hoot for atmosphere The bar in the middle of the MGM has a talking Foster Brooks robot !!! On Monday or Tuesday nights at the Imperial Palace they have a luau dinner show. You gotta check out the Stratosphere Tower as I'm sure they've got a bar at or near the top.

They even have their own version of Grauman's celebrity footprints - in the form of autographed plates from celebrities who have dined there. The tunes at the bar are among the best in the city (they were hip to what is now "lounge" for many years). And I believe they are in process (it might be completed by now) of turning the bar into a tiki/polyensian room for the summer months. It was also the nightcap spot of the famous "summit night" with Combustible Edison's The Millionaire, Brother Cleve, Joseph Holmes (of the Space Age Bachelor Pad web site), Joseph Lanza (celebrated author of "Elevator Music" and "The Cocktail") and Lounge magazine head honcho/editor Sam Wick all holding court!

I don't think its every week so I'd try to make this one. Chris started Tinnyninny with Alex Gloor, and played at thier last party at XVI which also featured DJ Pee Pee from London who slammed some serious BBC Library Music tracks from the early '70s and two DJs from Berlin who's names I don't remember, but the were wrecking some really up tempo Japanese Neo-Easy cuts I'd never heard before as well as slamming the Schlagger. That's all I know about at the moment, I hope it was some help. If you like Latin, I'm doing a Party on July 4 starting at 10 PM called "Sabor Latino" It's at 145 E. Houston between 1 & 2 ave.
