Review by Kushal Joshi
The album "It's A Big Wide Wonderful World Of Les Baxter" by Les Baxter is a delightful musical journey that takes listeners on a dreamy adventure through the lush landscapes of exotic destinations. The album features a wide variety of musical styles, ranging from Latin rhythms to sultry lounge tunes, all infused with Baxter's signature orchestral arrangements.
The album opens with "Brazilia", a lively samba that immediately transports listeners to the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro. From there, the album moves seamlessly between upbeat dance numbers and more introspective, atmospheric pieces like "The Enchanted Sea" and "Quiet Village".
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Poor People of Paris", a jaunty tune that perfectly captures the carefree spirit of the French capital. Baxter's lush orchestration adds a touch of elegance to the song, making it a standout moment on the album.
Another highlight is "Taboo", a haunting melody that evokes the mysterious allure of the South Pacific. The song's use of percussion and woodwinds creates a sense of tension and drama, making it one of the most captivating tracks on the album.
