For 50 years I´ve liked BMB´s HEADS UP!!. For 50 seconds I´ve been enjoying WATCH OUT!!
Such a good recording for 1966. We should return to vacuum tubes. Born with strabismus ( crossed eyes) my parents put a pillow on the floor and played the reel to reel copy of this album while I rolled left and right to the music. Of late, I composed, played and recorded about forty tunes, mostly rock and fusion jazz.
Una de mis bandas favorirtas... son geniales..!!!!
Loved this album in high school. Still do!
Thanks Rudy!

👍 I've enjoyed putting these out there for everyone to listen to.
Just bought this in Goodwill for $3 because I love mexican food and the marimba is one of my favorite instruments. Jammin this on the drive home since my car doesn't have a record player 😂
So far so good!!! Muy bueno!
Car doesn't have a record player ? LOL.
Oh, boy, This music brings back incredible memories for me. My parents had the album as I was growing up and I remember my mom listening to it in our living room while she ironed and me and my little sister would be playing on the rug near her. The album proved really beneficial for me as I grew up and developed a taste for jazz. When I first started learning about jazz standards and I ran across the tune "The More I See You" in the Real Book, I suddenly remembered it from this album! Suffice it to say that "Watch Out" (a verbal/visual pun I didn't get until I was an adult) helped prepare me for a lifelong love of jazz even before I knew what the word meant. ❤ (N.B.: We owned a 1968 set of The World Book Encyclopedia and under "Jazz" they showed a black-and-white photo of a bunch of black guys in a jam session in a small, smoky room. Quite different from the Baja Marimba Band! Apparently the WB editors at the time subscribed to a stereotypical version of what jazz is.)
Glad you enjoyed it! The real irony is that some of the BMB musicians were active in jazz, like Dave Wells (who played with the Don Ellis orchestra), Mel Pollan, etc., and even Julius had a record under his own name, Linear Sketches, that is one of the early examples of west coast jazz. The rest of course were busy studio musicians. Even Herb's TJB had musicians like Pat Senatore (Stan Kenton's orchestra), Bob Edmondson (Gerald Wilson's big band), John Pisano, Lou Pagani, etc., and Pete Jolly even played a few notes on both of their records.
@@lostandfoundsounds Thanks for the info! My parents also had Herb Albert albums. The one that caught attention for me the most was (of course) "Whipped Cream and Other Delights." As a young boy, I was able to admire the cover for a long time...
They had to choose a picture of somebody so they went with the tired cliché.

"Telephone Song," fresh out of Brazil. There's a version from a few years earlier by Astrud Gilberto here: ua-cam.com/video/n4VqSkLmc3Q/v-deo.html
