Mambo And Cha Cha Cha

It’s time to dance … The Marvelous Mambo or the Charming Cha Cha Cha? It’s up to you. Choose your partner, shuffle your feet in the right starting position and swing the floor like you’ve never done before …

The Mambo is a Cuban dance, very popular in the 1940’s and 1950’s. It’s influenced by Afro-Cuban rhythms and popularized by Arsenio Rodrigues and later Perez Prado & His Orchestra. In the 1950’s another dance became even more popular in the USA and later worldwide: The Cha Cha Cha. Also of Cuban origins, this dance was introduced around 1950 by Enrique Jorrin’ s Orquesta America in Havana. The number of Mambo and Cha Cha Cha albums is extremely huge, with Cha Cha Cha as the winner. This is just a choice of the many hundreds of albums that were released on the market by companies like Tico, RCA, Fiesta and Capitol in The United States and in Latin America.

Library Music

Welcome to the world of Library Records. This world knows no borders, the musicians are mostly unknown and the albums are not much sought after, only some of them are and a handful of fans who pay literally hundreds of dollars for them. It’s a strange and unclear world of records with sometimes ordinary and sometimes extraordinary sleeves. The music is mostly instrumental or orchestral. The series or volumes are sometimes big and there’s an enormous scala of musical styles for commercial purposes. The most famous labels are Bruton, Chappell, De Wolfe and Tele Music. They recorded albums by guys like Alan Hawkshaw, Alan Tea, Reg Tilsley, Johnny Pearson, Roger Roger, Piero Umiliani and many others. Each major city in Europe and North America had their own company. In the 1960’s and further on the industry, commercial business and the Radio  / TV and Filmworld had a constant need of new music to sell their products. Here’s a selection out of the very big collection.

In The Land Of Hi-Fi

High Fidelity was a revolution in sound in the mid 1950’s. Better turntables, better amplifiers, better speaker systems. First we had hi-fi mono, but soon stereo alone was not enough. It was Hi and it was Fi! Between 1957 and 1959 almost every record that hit the shop had the word on it. No escape possible! From “Contrasts in Hi-Fi” to “Music For Hi-Fi Bugs” and from Dinner Music by Spike Jones and The Rippling Rhythm Of Shep Fields to Harpo Marx, everybody was “In Hi-Fi”. Let’s travel in the wonderful land of hi-fi!

Rock’n’Roll Highschool

Once it was big! It’s Only Rock And Roll! A teenage lifestyle and a dance craze that came in the mid 1950’s and never really went away, although today in 2020 real rock and roll bands are hard to find, but some guys still going strong. This collection focuses on the coming of age of a genre, from some original black rock’n’roll stars like Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Little Richard to the white boys Bill Haley, Elvis Presley and Gene Vincent to The Ramones and The Cramps. An eye catching collection of album sleeves. Rock on!

Mod Jazz

Are you “in” for some of the finest jazz sounds from the sixties and further on? Let’s look (and listen) to the Jazz Hits From The Hot 100. Modern Jazz became the new hitmachine in the sixties. Its was a hip style with lotsa influences from R&B, soul, ska and latin music. The Rockers hated jazz, but the mods loved it and grooved throughout the saturday night to mostly black soul, ska and jazz music (in the UK called Northern Soul) and had a great time!

Jazz / William Claxton and others

One of the most important photographers of jazz scene in the 1950’s was of course William Claxton. He was always there and shot everyone he could shoot. Today he is honored with many great books, of which Taschen’s Jazz Life is the most important. He made some famous photo’s of Chet Baker, Stan Getz and actor Steve McQueen.  He started as a film editor in Hollywood, did some filmwork for the U.S. Army and later he became well known in the fashion world when in 1967 he made the landmark film called ‘Basic Black’. Other important photographers of the great jazz generation were Jean Paul Leloir and Francis Wolff, the brilliant photographer of Blue Note Records.
