Album of the Day: Walter Wanderley - Rain Forest

Swine Flu, economic crisis, recession got you down? Surely, zombie uprisings are right around the corner.

Don’t fret. Do what I do. Since around 1999 when the future of my employer, Infonautics, and its payroll was in serious doubt, I have put on Walter Wanderley’s Rain Forest for a taste of the good life. Proclaimed king of the Brazilian organ, Walter lays some cool licks around some great covers. I used to put this on in my office and envision a brick courtyard outside my window with umbrella tables and a Weber grill.

My daughter and others call this elevator music but there is a level of sophistication and nuance here that elevates this above that category of music. Sit back, turn up the volume and breathe deep.
