‘Dim the lights, kick back and breathe in the sound and the rhythm of the past. These tracks are from a time when jazz divas were the coolest women around, Jazz and Latin bands with impeccable matching suits were a staple and exotic sounds from foreign lands were truly exiting and new.
This is a mix of rare original Finnish 7” records ranging from Jazz to Latin and Exotica hardly ever heard outside of Finland. Some are now over 60 years old but the grooves are still awesome, playing is mellow and swinging and the singing flawless.’
