Search on GEMM | | | This is quite a tasty LP by Horst. His arrangements are always entertaining, and sometimes very hip. The standout tracks are an insanely peppy 'Soulful Strut' and a nice take on 'Wack Wack'. However, the dark horse is 'Misirlou', which begins with an overblown strings/piano/brass section, but which is repeatedly transformed with a groovy an insistent backbeat that suddenly drops in. I wouldn't say it's my favorite version (I think that accolade still belongs to Frances Faye) but it's very cool indeed. I see the arrangements are by Peter Knight, who if I'm not mistaken is the British arranger responsible for the backings on Elis Regina in London. | Horst Jankowski recommendations at Musical Taste
