14. Concerto for Billy the Kid (George Russell Sextet Feat. Bill Evans)

15. Russian Lullaby (John Coltrane)

16. Stella By Starlight (Charlie Parker)

Inspired by the book of same name written by James Kaplan I set out to put together an ‘unofficial soundtrack’. But how? The standard Greatest Hits would not do. I wanted something different. While reading the book many songs were named, too many in fact, any set taken from the book would result in a compilation of ButterBoy proportions.

Frustrated, I turned to the Index, and there they were, songs, not many but enough to make a 16 track album. The Index listed the whole of Davis’ “Kind Of Blue”, as much as I enjoy that album I did not select any songs from it.

"Exotica can range from silly campy novelty records for 'swingin bachelor pads' to more serious experimental blends of jazz, Latin rhythms, studio technology and modern orchestration. [...] Good examples of the more artistic practitioners of the Exotica genre include Martin Denny and Les Baxter. Both Denny and Baxter were accomplished jazz musicians who also drew on a wealth of other musical influences including French impressionistic composers, Afro-Cuban jazz and Polynesian percussion to create highly original and creative musical landscapes.

Other jazz influenced artists that might be found in the Exotica genre include: artists who record creative versions of well known pop songs, artists who juxtapose in-congruent styles in an ironic fashion, artists who have an anachronistic presentation and musical style, and artists who create unique recordings that do not fit easily into any standard genre. A final common element of many exotica artists is a sense of ironic kitsch, this element is easily recognized by fans of the genre, but may be too subtle for outsiders to recognize."
