Various Artists: Hot And Sweet


German light music from the 60s. "Hot and Sweet is a mixture that is eminently suited to relax one from the daily cares". So states the first paragraph of the cover. This album is made up of tracks played by three highly respected German bands. Kurt Heckles Big Band, Macky Kasper His Trombone and Orchestra and Mr Martins Band. This is definitely 'lounge' from bar one to the very last note of side two, with a mixture of early 20s type jazz through to hip-swinging latin. A little album of delights that, although never really hitting any dizzying heights, still leads the listener on a happy and harmless journey. A rare little number too.
