Most bands and artists that played the original Exotica of the 1950's and early 60's were from the jazz-pop or easy listenting world.. What we now call "lounge". Les Baxter was really one of the few artists of this genre that used a large orchestra. The rest were small combos. Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, Cal Tjader, etc..though some of these artist's piano stylings were influenced by Debussy or Ravel, I would hardly consider exotica to be a subset of orchestral music. http://www.myspace.com/lucasvigor http://www.myspace.com/thesmokinmenehunes http://www.myspace.com/thehulagirlsband "yer jus not tuned into the series of tubes yet, let it soak in".
