RAWICZ AND LANDAUER - RHYTHMS IN THE SUN



Rawicz and Landauer were an immensely popular piano duo team that performed from 1932 to 1970. They were initially based in Vienna, Austria, but moved to the United Kingdom in the early part of their career. They were known for their arrangements of popular classics.

Marjan (or Maryan) Rawicz (1898 – 30 January 1970) was Polish. He studied in Poland, and in Vienna under Richard Robert, and also studied law at the University of Kraków, playing the piano at seaside resorts in his holidays to make ends meet.

Walter Landauer (1910 – 3 August 1983) was born in Vienna. He studied at the Vienna Music Academy and under Emil von Sauer.

Here's their 1959 album Rhythm In The Sun, all Latin songs....

JOHN MAYAL - THE BLUES ALONE



Talk about finding treasures in Indonesia :)

The Blues Alone is a 1967 Electric Blues album recorded by John Mayall. On this album he chose to record all the parts himself with the exception of percussion, which was provided by longtime collaborator Keef Hartley.

The cover art and the original LP sleeve design are by John Mayall. Sleeve notes, including track notes, were written by noted DJ John Peel. The following quote is of interest regarding the album concept.

I was featuring his album A Hard Road on the air and was amazed that, in addition to writing 8 of the 12 numbers on the record, playing 5- (sic) and 9-string guitar, organ, piano, harmonica and singing, he had written the sleeve notes and painted the portrait of the group on the front cover.
With this new LP he has carried all of this to its logical conclusion and has produced a record featuring no other musician than himself except for ... drummer Keef Hartley.

THE ALL STAR ORCHESTRA - A FAR EAST FANTASY IN LATIN DANCE RHYTHM


Record producer George Ching began bringing Japanese bands to Hawaii after World War II when it was again acceptable for Japanese-Americans here to publicly reaffirm their ties to Japan. He released this imaginative album, originally titled "A Far East Fantasy In Latin Dance Rhythm," on his 49th State Hawaii label sometime in the late 1950s. The songs had been popular in the pre-1945 Japanese Empire or in areas occupied by Japanese forces during World War II. The arrangements reflected the Latin dance craze back then.... Great album!

Woke up this morning to the sounds of a performance and spend the whole day watching, pretty amazing, the music was oncredible, very swinging trance music, Kuda Lumping, the dancers would go into a trance, becoming possessed by various animals, mostly by monleys, there were also quiet a few helpers who would get those dancers out of their trance, amazing stuff right in front of my house....

EARLE DOUD



Comedy writer/producer Earle Doud penned jokes for such television comics as Johnny Carson, Jack Paar, and Jonathan Winters and for the popular television series Father Knows Best in the 1950s and early '60s. His debut album, Sounds Funny, took a humorous look at sound effects.

Doud's most successful outing was an album, The First Family, recorded on October 27, 1962, that poked fun at President John F. Kennedy's White House. Written and produced with Bob Booker and featuring Vaughn Meader as the President and Naomi Brossart as the First Lady, it was a phenomenal success, selling more than seven and a half million copies. Although a second volume, released in the spring of 1963, received an equally warm reception, it was pulled from the marketplace following Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963.

The American presidency continued to be a source for Doud's humor, as he subsequently wrote and produced similar albums Lyndon Johnson's Lonely Hearts Club Band with Alen Robin in 1967 and The First Family Rides Again, which spoofed the Ronald Reagan era, in 1981. He also produced and wrote an album, Spiro T. Agnew Is a Riot, parodying Nixon's vice president, in 1971.

Here are three of his albums....
