Space Age Bachelor Pad Music (1091)
This week on The Atomic Age Cocktail Party, it’s a look at that style known as Space Age Bachelor Pad Music. It's the type of music that makes you feel like you’re really launching into the stratosphere, musically speaking. Not only that, it was the perfect tunes to shake your martini shaker to. It’s music that often has lots of bongos and other percussion, left-to-right and right-to-left ping-ponging action, and other tricks that made it sound like you were living in the future. We’ll hear from Bob Thompson, Edd “Kookie” Byrnes, Dean Elliott, Juan Garcia Esquivel, and many more.
