Actress Julie London parlayed her movie fame into a successful career as a prolific recording artist, releasing some 30 albums between 1955 and 1969. "Latin In A Satin Mood" came out in 1963 and features an authentic Mexican vocal trio and mariachi-style trumpets on songs like "Besame Mucho" and "Vaya Con Dios", in arrangements that showcase London's sultry voice.

An innovator in mixing world music influences into jazz, there was considerable demand for Yusef Lateef's many recordings of the late 1950s and early 1960s that reflected his fascination with all things Asian; "Eastern Sounds" from 1961 is one of the multi-instrumental pioneer's best sellers. A stellar studio band helps Lateef realize his one-world vision of a music that knows neither stylistic boundaries nor expressive limitations.
