Whipped Cream & Other Delights

mmmm earcandy. 9/10

Sexy LP cover. Smooth melodic trumpet and tight arrangements. Very “easy listening” and a bit bland. Certainly we’ll conceived and executed and if it’s time. Not of this time, however!

Lounge and/or 60's movie soundtrack music...

Actually have an old LP version of this to pull off the stacks. A bit of a cultural artifact but you know, all good fun.

Like the music to the Carry on films!

Pretty nice but sort of average at the same time. I do like the album cover. 3 stars.

Good music, inviting you to rest and relax to enjoy it. However, it cannot avoid the retro style, from its album cover to its jazz music. Short and compact in its intentions, made to measure for the music of TV series and movies. A taste of honey is its best track. 3 1/2 stars because it gives me everything that a music album can give without songs.

Waffled between a 2 and 3 on this one, as while it’s well-executed and generally pleasing it lacked a certain wow factor and left me disappointed as to why some record stores have entire walls tiled with copies of this LP. Going with a 3 here by thinking about this in its historical context – not a big band expert, but I’m sure this was a relative hell of a listen when it first dropped.
