Baxter,Les Jewels Of The Sea CD

For as long as man beheld the ocean's splendor, inspiration has come with the tides and stayed to work it's magic on the imagination. To a composer the sea offers wondrous motion, a shimmering surface of flowing mystery. Les Baxter gratefully accepted these things, and distilled them into exotic miniatures of dream-like beauty - sparkling, opalescent gems. Dreamy, sensual, iridescent, abstracted, this is quintessential Les Baxter. Baxter invented exotica and imposed his passion for Stravinsky and Debussy on escapist travelogue themes to create a unique form of popular music that was far from "easy listening" in the conventional sense.
