I have a theory that back then, no one referred to themselves as one of the above-mentioned genres..It is my belief that artists such as Baxter and Denny just considered themselves "Jazz" but with an exotic twist... Even today, the record bins can't seem to get it right! Les Baxter's "skin's" album is really not easy listening, but I found the record in that section! I am going to put the blame for the demise of this type of music where it belongs..The BEATLES killed exotica!!
