I've been down there 6 times and there's nothing like Brazilian percussion.
From Les Baxter
I don't know what the problem with Capitol is. Some one's got to wake 'em up. Prod 'em a little bit.
I was working all the time I was in college. I was working so much that I could hardly do my college work.
I aim my arrangements at what will fit and colorfully frame the song in the best way possible.
When I want 30 musicians in the orchestra, I get 30.
I don't try to make 15 musicians sound like two each.
In a sense, a hit belongs to the person who made it popular, but if a tune is good enough to attain tremendous success, then it certainly deserves more than one version, one treatment, one approach.
I'm not an intellectual composer.
I write emotional music.
