Synopsis

Album Description

Previously unreleased material from the king of Space Age Bachelor Pad Music. Recorded in 1975 to be used as a promotional tool for, La Margarita - a popular Mexican restaurant in Chicago where Esquivel! was in the middle of a 6 month engagement. It was recorded live in the studio without overdubs. The only thing that was added was the applause. Includes a great arrangement of "Rhapsody In Blue", "Good Morning Heartache" and "Delta Dawn." The final Esquivel! recording made during the lounge era.

CD Reviews

Very cool entry from the king of space age pop

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Never seen Esquivel's Vegas show? This is as close as you can come without video. This is a "live" rendition of part of his usual show. The fact that the group pulls it all off with no overdubs and supposedly (ala direct disk recordings) in a single take is a true testament to that known fact that Esquivel demanded perfection from his troops. This is a cool slice of entertainment, terrific musicians at the top of their games and unlike any show you are likely to see/hear anytime soon. A must have for the Esquivel fan."
