I've been wanting to put together a playlist of jazz for my tiki lounge. Sometimes Exotica, Hapa Haole or Hawaiian just aren't what I want to hear but I still want an exotic mood.
To start with I have...

-Poinciana by Ahmad Jamal
-Canadian Sunset by Gene Ammons
-Slow Hot Wind by James Moody
-Temptation by Charlie Parker (his early version though what I really want is Seattle's Roosevelt High Schools version, NY Strictly Ellington winnners)
-Seabreeze by Branford Marsalis

What's funny about this list is, I really like vibes but none are on my list, and I really like Latin but don't know which would fit the bill.
thanks for suggestions.

aloha, tikicoma

Stank Kenton "Cuban Fire"
Johnny Mandel's soundtrack to "I want to live"
Anything by cal tjader
Miles Davis "Milestones"
Oscar Peterson "we get requests"
Antonio Carlos Jobin "Terra brasilis" or "wave"

(Those are the names of the actual albums, BTW)

for starters.
