Esquivel And His Orchestra - Infinity In Sound
Juan García Esquivel, the flamboyant Mexican arranger, composer, and sonic adventurer, brought stereo recording to life with Infinity in Sound. Released in 1960, this release is more than just a collection of pop standards - it’s a kaleidoscopic journey through the possibilities of sound in an era when high-fidelity was still a novelty.
Infinity in Sound is a joyous, borderline-manic celebration of musical possibility. It’s retro-futuristic, playfully sophisticated, and never takes itself too seriously - and that’s precisely what makes it a classic. Whether you’re a fan of exotica, big band, or just looking for something delightfully unexpected, Esquivel’s masterpiece is an absolute must-listen.
