Esquivel - Infinity (1960)
Juan Garcia Esquivel was a composer and an arranger who really was one of the Lounge-lizard king pins of his day... He released a number of albums in the late 50's and 60's that are today highly sought after by the growing re-surgence in Lounge music. Esquivel was very concerned about the sound quality of his albums and I think on the Infinity series he made his mark. Found somewhere in between lounge, jazz, big band and a certain experimentalism these albums just dont stop ! You must mix up a cosmic cocktail when listening to this album.......and maybe pull out the suede suit coat too ! With an air or "cheesy-ness" and yet something still seems just so cool about this album that I cant stop pulling it off the shelf.
You will find this vinyl album sitting in your local Bi-Way or Salvation Army thrift store record bins!
The perfect album for those nostalgic evenings out by the pool
