Claus Ogerman & His Orchestra • Watusi Trumpets

Review by Tony Wilds

Of Ogerman's four mod albums for Victor, Watusi Trumpets is the best, probably because it stays truest to the mod style. The other key factor is Dick Hyman's prominent (but uncredited) work on Lowrey organ. "The Joker" begins with exotic percussion, builds with a haunting flute, and then becomes a showcase for Hyman's Lowrey. Featuring the old standard "Poinciana," the rock classic "Land of a Thousand Dances," not to mention three tunes with "watusi" in the title, this mod album is as essential as any.

Reseña de Tony Wilds

De los cuatro álbumes mod de Ogerman para Victor, Watusi Trumpets es el mejor, probablemente porque es el más fiel al estilo mod. El otro factor clave es el prominente (pero no acreditado) trabajo de Dick Hyman en el órgano Lowrey. "El Guasón" comienza con una percusión exótica, se construye con una flauta embrujadora, y luego se convierte en un escaparate para el Lowrey de Hyman. Con el viejo estándar "Poinciana", el clásico del rock "Land of a Thousand Dances", sin mencionar tres temas con "watusi" en el título, este álbum mod es tan esencial como cualquier otro.
