Customer Reviews
Mellow
I liked the swinging sounds of mellow saxophone, just beautiful background music while I work at the dreary job of accounting. I especially like the Bongo Bash. Most sax CDs are much too "Jazzy" but this is relaxing and refreshing.
Lounge music at its horniest best!
This CD is another one of my favorites in the ULTRA LOUNGE series. You don't necessarily have to like the saxophone to enjoy these--you just need to be the type of person who is galvanized by such memorable tunes as "Harlem Nocturne," "Street Scene," or "One Mint Julep." Great stuff. Incidentally, on this CD, and on volumes 7 to 11, there is a very enjoyable and amusing bonus track (it's not listed, but it's there after the last "real" CD track). Listening to a continental playboy-type wooing his lady while a lush organ percolates in the background is one of the highlights of these and the other five volumes.
Cure Your Saxophobia
With the saxophone as the link between these selections, I was a little nervous that the Ultra-Lounge series might have gone too far - but not to worry! From "Samba De Orfeu" by Bill Perkins to a smooth version of "Harlem Nocturne" by Louis Prima & Sam Butera - you have a great collection of Lounge Sax music. Another great addition to a wonderful series!
