Total Exotica As Dug By Lux And Ivy

The light and dark of exotica and easy listening, from ethereal Martin Denny- championed grooves to heavier jazz investigations into world music. As dug by The Cramps’ Lux and Ivy. Companion set to the successful Pure Exotica of 2020. Featuring key players in the genre from Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman to Les Baxter and Eden Ahbez. With jazz exponents Esquivel, Ahmed Abdul Malik, Yusef Lateef and Cal Tjader. Plus the incredible voices of Yma Sumac and Ethel Azama. And a host of obscure gems from The Markko Polo Adventurers, Bill Russo, Bianchi, Henri Rene and Jack Marshall. Includes the strange authentic instrumentation of Elisabeth Waldo and the lush strings of Henry Mancini.
