Reissued 2018, Originally released 1958
Wax Love present a reissue of LES BAXTERs Space Escapade, originally released in 1958. LES BAXTER's Space Escapade can be considered as one of the true manifestos of lounge/bachelor pad music. First released in 1958 with Mr. BAXTER at the head of a jazz big band in full exploratory mood, Space Escapade consists of a colorful mixture of space age jazz and eclectic cocktail music, adequately spiced with exotic orchestral arrangements. All this packaged in one of the most iconic album covers of the genre.
