Summary: Rich and luminous
Comment: Don't let the Jungle Drums title mislead you. This is mainly a collection of lush, lyrical music. It was recorded to two-track tape in 1955 in RCA's prime location of Webster Hall, and the sound generally is excellent. Half the album is given over to Ernesto Lecuona's music, and very engrossing it is. The arrangement of Malaguena put me in mind of Percy Faith's arrangement of the same song--both are full bodied and excellent. The two classical standards on the album by Falla and Villa-Lobos are beautifully done. I can't say enough about the orchestral playing. I once read an interview with a player who said that Morton Gould was the only conductor he played for who didn't have any charisma, but you would never know it from this recording. This album is definitely a keeper.

Summary: Sentimental Favorite
Comment: My parents purchased this album back in the sixties, and I grew up listening to it. For this reason alone I love it. Even after all this time I still love these arrangements. Mr. Gould's orchestra give polished performances, the tone colors are varied and vivid. You will be carried to exotic locales by this music. It's a classic!

Summary: Jungle Fun
Comment: More soothing renditions by Morton Gould and composer Ernesto Lecuona. "Andalucia" is simply beautiful on this album. It has a strong melody that would sound good in almost any setting. My daughter brought this in for her second grade class, and most of the kids an parents liked the music. Some of it is very cinematic, and I think that's what some of them reacted too...made then think of old films. Highly recommended.

Summary: interesting change of pace
Comment: I had originally purchased this CD because I thought the music was similar to Les Baxter, Martin Denny, and Arthur Lyman (I made this assumption based on the picture on the jacket). I thought it was another "exotica" album. Boy, was I wrong! While the arrangements all have lush melodies, the music is symphonic in nature and have great orchestral arrangements. I like this CD a lot.
