Re: the many versions of Quiet Village out there, this:
**
Odell Brown and the Organ-izers, Cadet LPS-788
**
was mentioned previously in this thread. I picked up a nice copy of it at the local Salvation Army recently. It's called Mellow Yellow -- Odell Brown and the Organ-izers. Song 1 is the title track; Song 2 is Quiet Village. It is done nicely in my opinion. To quote from the album notes:
**
Les Baxter's exotic classic, Quiet Village, is introduced by Brown and Gibson in a mellow manner. They build to a wailing peak for the horns who come in swinging with the famous theme. Artee Payne and then Tommy Purvis solo; they get ultra-hot in a modern way and build to an exciting climax before the entire group returns to the opening pattern.
**
Anyone else have this record too? Finding it in such nice condition made me feel "ultra-hot in a modern way."
