What about "The Fabulous Sounds of Les Baxter"? The album has incredible arrangements and a very soulful sound, yes, I mean the Baxter's version of Autumn leaves, one of the most beautiful versions of that classic song.

Jungle Jalopy is one of my favorite songs by him. I love all his stuff. Ritual of the Savage is his best album by far, then Jewels of the Sea and Space Escapade, then the Dunwhich Horror.

Haha, we did some selections from Tamboo! and The Sacred Idol for a concert at my university, which was the first time it's been performed live. Ever. Let me tell you, that stuff isn't easy to learn and is not meant for live performance (especially vocals, yikes!). It takes a mad genius to write that stuff.
