Stereo sound innovator and early godfather of the lounge music revolution,
Enoch Light
's
Persuasive Percussion
albums set the tone for an entire era of sophisticated partying, and also employed recording techniques that were groundbreaking in their time and would still sound fresh decades later. Following the success of those albums came volume upon volume of the
Provocative Percussion
spin-off series, and
Provocative Percussion Vols. 3 & 4
collects 24 loungy instrumental tracks somewhere between the big-band sound and the increasingly groovy living stereo sound that
Light
pioneered, including takes on standard hits like "The Look of Love" and "On the Street Where You Live." ~ Fred Thomas
