Frank Hunter And His Orchestra

Frank Hunter And His Orchestra

Frank Hunter And His Orchestra has been played on NTS in shows including Creep Zone w/ James Pants & Marc Schaller , featured first on 20 May 2015. Songs played include Mist Of Gorongoza, Lost Plateau and Jungle Drums (Canto Karabali).

"White Goddess" by Frank Hunter from the year 1959 is a perfect example of Exotica crossing over to the Space Age by using new electronic instruments of that time. Chromatic bongos and log drums, the "Buzzimba" and Chinese bells sit with wordless female swoons and Ondioline in a small orchestra and do the job. 8 of the 12 titles are original compositions, and standards like "Poinciana" and "Jungle Drums" add up to a nearly perfect record. That should give you a hint of the quality of this work, which made this record one of the holy grails of Exotica music.
