Primitive Passionate

Another in Collectables' series of Les Baxter two-fers, The Primitive and the Passionate/Les Baxter's Balladeers collects a pair of the composer/conductor's early-'60s albums. With song titles like "Peking Tiger" and "A Night with Cleopatra," 1962's The Primitive and the Passionate is a pretty typical – and entertaining – mix of Baxter's instrumental exotica and standards. And, while the relatively straightforward renditions of "Laura," "Little Girl Blue," and "A Taste of Honey" might be a little too tasteful to pique the interest of modern exotica/lounge fans, their supreme smoothness is almost as much of an accomplishment as the album's more whimsical moments.

"The Primitive & The Passionate" showcases conductor and composer Les Baxter’s signature “exotic” flair and brilliant orchestrations. The 1962 release features refreshing renditions of “Laura,” “A Taste of Honey” and “Little Girl Blue.” This mesmerizing hi-res release has never sounded smoother.
