For some reason,
Confetti is one of the more difficult
Les Baxter records to find. It is not particularly exotic in that the tunes are from or about Europe (especially France). The musical style is the string-heavy easy listening of his "April in Paris" material. But three whistling tracks make it essential for the whistling-album collector, at least, if not the
Les Baxter or easy-listening completist. "Ricordate Marcellino" pays tribute to the whistling master
Muzzy Marcellino.
Les Baxter's chorus sings on several tracks. Fans of light-hearted "continental" (or dramatic orchestra) music and hopeless romantic types should enjoy it. ~ Tony Wilds
