Here's a quick list of various Jazzy/Early Exotica Artists who had stuff out by 1952. A lot of these folks may only have early stuff available on anthologies rather than actual albums. If nothing else, it may give you some ideas. (Most of these I got just by checking their discogs at All Music Guide).

I must admit I haven't got a clue about the nuts and bolts of doing it, but I imagine PC or Mac recording software would give the opportunity of chosing formats. Its a popular pastime on the list. I have a vague recollection of seeing them on Top of the Pops when the record was out, sad to say it was a big hit over here. But I don't know anything about them, by the line up of whistle, out of tune piano, bass and that rhythm stick thing I think theres a good chance that they were a working band caught out by a novelty hit that was nothing like their 'serious' stuff. And couldn't follow it up. There used to be a bloke who worked in one of our local second hand record shops who claimed to collect different versions of it.

Also, his Ritual of the savage came out in 1952. Machito's pretty exotic. Dizzy Gillespie's Cuban influenced pieces fit the bill - I'm sure there are others in that vein.... Pepe Domingue.... Maybe some Danny Guglielmi and Les Paul. Yma Sumac: Legend of the Sun Virgin, Voice of the Xtabay, both 1952. In fact, the more I look in to it, the more it seems like a very good year. For exotica.

I'm not talking about "good" music. I am talking about "popular" music. I think that the rapid transformation in music in the first half of the 20th century was due to the fact that "popular" music or "mainstream" music represented the voice of all music of America. People used new recording and broadcasting technology to diversify and transform popular music. Today, music is fragmented into genres and sub-genres and sub-sub-genres that "specialists" follow. "Popular" music is the *least* representative of the forefront of music today. The main focus of recording and broadcasting is on distributing "more of the same", rather than trying to push the envelope with new sounds. I can't see how this is a good thing.

Working far enough away from the action to miss it but caught it on tv, living close enough to see the smoke plume and smell the leftover fires at night. RIP WTC is some stencilled graffiti around here. Although I never wanted to work there (always seemed like a firetrap or weird vibe magnet) did occasionally visit to catch concerts in the summer garden (most memorably a Pauline Oliveros/Deep Listening Band psychedelic fest) and up on Windows On The World, the top floor, that would often host djs and the odd band. It was a cool place for a bit, with the sort of funky old seventies style bar and the dancefloor. NYC is pretty grim right now, CMJ has been cancelled and a bunch of other stuff, downtown was paralyzed for a bit (well it still is way downtown). This may be of interest to Pizzicatto Five fans (or the spectrapop (?) list) - on a lighter note I got to hang out with Nomiya Maki (ex Pizzicatto Five) who was in town to perform this friday for fashion week which of course was cancelled for less frivolous things. She was with her partner Reiko, they have a new group called Oui Oui. Nomiya has a little book out, titled A-Z or something, which is essentially about, er, herself. Impressive indeed is her illustrated discography, about 45 cds starting back in '81, including Pizzicatto Five and a host of tribute stuff (T Rex, etc.). After hanging out at a yakitori place, we all including the head chef went to a nearby karaoke room to do some numbers. Somehow I got handed the mike to sing 'Yesterdays Papers', its fun singing a song that you have absolutely no idea how the melody goes (not that anyone could tell). Highlight was the two yes yes ladies singing 'Dancing Queen'. Then it was back out to the empty streets to the sound of thunder of an approaching storm... Peace, all, as we wait for WWIII. pg # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2001 13:09:13 EDT From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica)NYC-RIP WTC Boston remembering WTC ...Seks Bomba had played there, Brother Cleve DJ'd there with the World Famous Pontani Sisters...I have a picture of my two kids standing in the Empire State Building staring in awe at the WTC off in the distance...now a gaping hole......And to think they were a mere 30 years old..CNN has some video of the first crash.
