Ultra Lounge

Space Age Bachelor Pad Music; Crime Jazz
  • Wednesday 2-3pm

Rich in a Waterfall
WELCOME to the Ultra Lounge. A place where Bachelor Pad Music, Space Age Pop and Crime Jazz come together creating the ultimate soundtrack for High Living covering the stereo high-fidelity period of the 1950's & 60's and beyond where arranging was the name of the game. Conductors, bandleaders and musicians "showed off their studio smarts assuming the role of magicians" and took full advantage of the stereo capabilities of home audio equipment.

Weekly shows may include Ultra Lounge Giants such as Esquivel, Enoch Light, Henry Mancini, Les Baxter, Nelson Riddle, Julie London, or Plas Johnson and whether the music rocks or swings "if you close your eyes and relax while listening to Ultra Lounge, the High Life is just a dream away."

Love the Lounge Rich -- Your show has made me dig into some of my old lps and try to "mine my mind" for some of the bands that used be be played on "Hobbs House" late night clear channel on WCCO Minneapolis in the 50's and 60's.
