BILLY MAY



Billy May
Tuxedo Junction, Cha-Cha 

Not exactly jazz, but certainly Billy May which you cant miss after a couple of bars


Cha Cha! Billy May is a studio album released by Billy May in 1960 on Capitol LP record T1329 (monophonic) and ST1329 (stereophonic).[1] The album features instrumental Latin renderings of big band standards and theme songs of many top musical outfits. Many of the arrangements are done tonge-in-cheek, even Capitol's own publicity described "Twelfth Street Rag-Cha-Cha" as "unforgivable".[2] Further playfulness is revealed in the song "Good-Bye" in which May's arrangement references the Benny Goodman bandmembers' habit of singing "go to hell, go to hell" over the repeating riff.[3] The album was recorded on October 1, 1959, at the Capitol Tower in Hollywood.[1] May's experience arranging and performing this album subsequently influenced his arrangements for the Frank Sinatra album Sinatra Swings.[4]
