This week's CD:

The Waitiki 7's latest is New Sounds of Exotica, a superb collection of tunes that's one part mid-century multi-ethnic hybrid music, one part technicolor tropical dreamscape and a dash of wild jungle birdcalls. The Waitiki 7 takes a new serious spin on exotica with tunes like Voodoo Love, Similau and Bali Ha'i.

Congratulations to Linda from Palatka, Florida, winner of last week's prize.
Here's a splendid example of early work by Lalo Schifrin, lovingly restored from the Paris sessions of the 1950's featuring Eddie Warner's Orchestra for whom Schifrin arranged, conducted and played piano. This hugely enjoyable album features several original compositions by Schifrin as well as by his mentor Dizzy Gillespie.
